Cast Partial Denture

[Deepak Goyal]

Are there any side effects of Cast Partial Dentures (made of some cobalt chromium material) ?
Doctor advised to go with Cast Partial Denture for my father. My dad's age is 68 yrs.
He regualarly consumes alcohol. can there be any side-effect ?

Also there is one flexible partial denture available ? Please help decide with which one we should go.

Unless your father has any metal allergies he should be fine. If you are really concerned you can go with an all acrylic base like you mentioned.

I found that cast metal partials seem to be the most durable. Hope this helps!
