what is better partial denture made of metal or plastic?

March 8, 2010 - 4:24 am 2 Comments

I am about to buy lower partial denture and I am not sure what is better for me. I know the metal casting is more expensive as opposed to plastic, However, if the casting is better to have on the long run it is maybe good idea, but some people are saying the plastic denture can fit better.
I forget to mention I am buying removable denture

The best removable partials have a metal frame with metal clasps and the teeth are set into plastic. They are much stronger and better fitting than an all plastic partial.
