Allergy/Metal Free Dentures

If you’re looking for a tooth replacement option that won’t trigger any allergies, you may want to consider allergy dentures – also known as metal-free dentures. These dentures offer the same benefits of traditional dentures but without the risk of causing an allergic reaction due to the use of metal components.

Traditional dentures typically use a combination of acrylic and metal materials to hold them in place; this arrangement can cause problems if someone is allergic to metals such as nickel, commonly found in many dental products. Allergy dentures are specially designed with materials that are non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and free from metals so individuals with these types of sensitivities will be able to wear them comfortably.

Unlike conventional dentures, allergy dentures are held in place by suction or gentle adhesive instead of relying on the rigidness and strength provided by metal hardware.

This not only avoids uncomfortable irritation or discomfort caused by metal parts rubbing against the gums, but it also helps create a more natural looking smile since there won’t be any visible wires or brackets poking out from underneath the teeth.

In addition, allergy dentures tend to be more lightweight than their traditional counterparts due to the lack of metal components. This makes them easier to wear for extended periods without becoming cumbersome or painful like regular dentures can sometimes be.

Unlike traditional dentures which require metal components to hold them in place, allergy dentures rely on suction or gentle adhesive instead. These types of dentures typically use non-toxic, hypoallergenic materials such as acrylic resin, nylon, polypropylene fibres, silicone, titanium and zirconia. These materials are designed to provide the same level of support and comfort as traditional dentures without triggering any unwanted allergic reactions.

Common materials include:
• Bre.crystal – great for both partial and full dentures because it doesn’t break easily, is very accurate, and is biocompatible.

• Bre.flex – a clever, monomer-free denture base material used to make flexible partial denture restorations that can’t break.

• Bio dentaplast – uses modern technology to make metal-free clasps that last a long time and match the colour of your natural teeth.

In terms of safety, allergy dentures have been studied extensively and their materials have been found to be safe for use in the mouth. Studies show that these types of dentures can even be more comfortable than regular denture since they won’t cause irritation from rubbing against the gums due to metal hardware being used.

The lifespan of allergy dentures depends on things like how well they fit, how well the patient follows instructions (like how to clean and eat), and whether or not there have been any major changes in dental health after treatment. On average, though, these dentures can last up to 10 years if they are taken care of properly.

Metal-free implants are not only strong, but they also don’t react with saliva or other chemicals in the mouth. The materials they are made with also don’t corrode, which makes them perfect for holistic oral surgery procedures.

Studies show that allergy denture procedures are successful in up to 90% of cases. Also, people who receive allergy dentures report a high satisfaction level after treatment due to improved comfort and ease of use compared to traditional denture models.

All in all, allergy dentures provide a solution for people who are allergic to metals while also giving them all the benefits of having a full set of teeth again. With proper fitting and care, these dentures can even be more durable than traditional designs.

Allergy- or metal-free dentures are a great choice for sensitive people who still want to have a full set of teeth again.

One of the biggest benefits of allergy-free dentures is that they are hypoallergenic, which means that they won’t cause rashes or other reactions when they come in contact with metals. These types of dentures don’t have any metal parts that can hurt or irritate the gums when they rub against the teeth, and because no metals are used to make these dentures, they may be even more comfortable than regular ones.

Another benefit of allergy-free dentures is that they are easy to adjust and change. The mix of materials used to make them makes them more flexible than traditional designs. This means that they can better fit the shape of a patient’s mouth than other types of dentures and make them more comfortable.

Metal-free implants are often easier to keep clean and take care of, particularly when the restoration edge is at the gum level, where a toothbrush and floss can reach it.

Since there are no metals in allergy-free dentures, they are also less likely to become loose over time than regular dentures. This makes them a good choice for people who want to use them for a long time and need something that will last.

In general, allergy-free dentures are no more likely to cause problems than traditional dentures. In fact, they may be less likely to cause health problems because they don’t have any metal parts that could irritate or cause allergic reactions.

However, you should consider a few small risks if you are thinking about allergy-free dentures. For example, because the materials used in these types of dentures are softer than those used in regular styles, they may not offer as much support and could cause jaw fatigue if too much pressure is put on them.
Also, because these types of dentures don’t have any metal parts, they may not stay in place as well as other types and could become loose over time if they aren’t fitted and taken care of properly.

Overall, allergy-free dentures may have a few small risks compared to traditional designs, but their possible benefits make them a good choice for people with allergies who want to get back the benefits of having teeth without worrying about any unwanted side effects. If you have any questions or concerns, talk to your dentist at Aesthetic Dental & Denture Clinic before you arrange a fitting to determine if this type of denture is right for you.
