Partial Dentures (Acrylic & Metal Chrome) in Preston, VIC
Partial dentures replace one or several missing teeth while anchoring securely to your healthy remaining natural teeth. Maintaining your natural teeth is critical because partials prevent adjacent teeth from drifting out of alignment, maintaining your facial harmony and masticatory balance.
Cobalt Chrome vs. Acrylic Partials
Cast metal (Cobalt Chrome) partials are thinner, stronger, and transmit heat and cold naturally while eating. Acrylic partials are an economical option that is easily adapted if further extractions are anticipated.
$950 - $3,299
*Subject to clinical examination & private health fund extra rebates.
Common Patient Issues
When teeth are lost and left unreplaced, adjacent teeth tilt into the open gap, while opposing teeth over-erupt. This leads to severe bite misalignment, joint pain (TMJ), and accelerated tooth wear.
How Dr Dragan Flajnik Fixes It
We offer both Chrome Cobalt (cast metal) frameworks and Acrylic partial dentures. Metal partials provide an ultra-thin, incredibly strong framework that rests comfortably on selected teeth without covering unnecessary soft tissue.
