FAQ: Allergic Reactions

Question:
My mother is allergic to dentures. She just got her metal allergy test results. She is allergic to 3 metals:
1- Nickel Sulfate (the metal used in denture)
2- Palladium Chloride (the metal used in crown filling)
3- Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (the pink plastic stuff in the denture)

She has two dentures one up and down. Are there any dentures that are Nickel free? Can there be any other solutions than implants? ...Visitor from WA

Answer:
Requesting a dental lab to make a special denture or bridge shouldn't be too difficult. It will be easier for you to contact the dental labs in your area to find out which lab has the MOST experience in doing it.

Another way would be to contact your state dental school and talk to someone in Prosthodontics. That department should have information about local labs that make specialty prosthetic products.
