Compared to acrylic dentures, cobalt-chrome ones are more durable, less bulky, and generally more comfortable to wear.
They’re designed to fit snugly around your remaining natural teeth, which helps keep them secure and stable during everyday activities like eating and speaking. Additionally, the metal allows better heat conduction, so warm foods feel more natural in the mouth.
