Hi,
I'm considering an upper partial Chrome Denture, as I missing a few back teeth.
Can you add any new teeth to a metal denture?

I ask because I have gum disease and I have a very slight wobbly tooth, which might end up going within a year or so.
Also does anyone know what is healthier for the body acrylic your Chrome Denture.
 
Second question, generally the chrome is better, the acrylic is slightly permeable to bacteria and fungus, so if your denture hygiene isn't great, then they can cause issues.
 
my dentist said that i cant add more teeth to it. while im here can someone tell me if an upper chrome partial denture sets off the alarm at airports please thanks
 
No, it's non-ferrous metal.
