Titanium
The Biocompatible Option in Modern Dentistry
Titanium is the most biocompatible metal known to science — and for good reason. Trusted across aerospace, medicine, and beyond, it represents the pinnacle of high-performance materials in contemporary dental care.
What makes titanium exceptional is its naturally forming passive oxide layer, which provides outstanding corrosion resistance and makes it an ideal choice for patients with metal sensitivities or allergies. It works with the body, not against it.
For our partial dentures, we use Titan-brand titanium — a material of exceptional chemical purity, with a minimum guaranteed purity of 99.5%. This ensures absolute biocompatibility and long-term reliability for every patient.
Our dental frameworks are precision-cast from Grade 4 titanium, delivering superior mechanical performance across all key measures:
Elongation — greater flexibility under stress
Proof stress — enhanced resistance to permanent deformation
Elasticity — optimal balance of strength and natural give
The result is a dental framework that is not only safe and compatible with your body, but built to last.

FAQS
The ideal choice for patients with metal allergies. Titanium’s outstanding biocompatibility makes it one of the most patient-friendly materials available, while its lightweight strength suits full plates and simpler framework designs particularly well. The finish mirrors the clean look of chrome, with a refined, low-lustre appearance.
Maximum comfort with aesthetics, we offer a fixed solution for maximum comfort and high aesthetics. With McDowell + Service you receive the precision needed for the success and longevity of your restoration. We offer screw-retained implant bridges as well as implant bars for fixed prostheses.
Titanium’s resilience, biological and chemical inertness and low weight makes it ideal for all dental restorations, from porcelain bonded to titanium crowns and bridges, removable partial dentures to implant bars and abutments.
Precision welding where others can’t. Our laser welder works across virtually all high-melting-point dental materials, producing narrow, deep joints stronger than the material itself — with minimal heat transfer to surrounding structures. We can add clasps and retention features just millimetres from acrylic work, safely and accurately. A dedicated polishing setting ensures every weld finishes clean, seamless, and strong.

Yes, our Grade 4 titanium is one of the most bio-compatible materials known used in everything from dental implants to hip joints
No, titanium is best used for simple non intricate denture designs such as large plates so as to take full advantage of its strength to weight properties (lightness).
Titanium is a very pure material with different properties from any chrome alloy. It is also quite dull in colour and so not shiny in nature, we make it as shiny as we can.
This is because the manufacturing material costs and specialised machinery requirements are greater. Titanium manufacturing is time consuming and very specialised as titanium must be cast in an argon chamber in an inert environment.

Yes we can although titanium will only weld to titanium. Any additional gold / wrought clasps must be added into the denture acrylic work.
