Valplast Flexible Partial Denture
A flexible partial denture replaces one or more missing teeth with a removable appliance made of a flexible nylon material (Valplast). It holds onto your natural teeth with gum-coloured clasps instead of metal hooks.
What it is
Because the material is thin and flexible, the denture is light, comfortable and blends with the gums. It is removed for cleaning and at night. It is a good option when implants or bridges are not possible or not wanted yet.
Who it is for
- Several missing teeth in one jaw
- Patients who do not want metal clasps showing
- A healthy-gum patient who prefers a removable option
- A temporary or interim replacement while planning implants
How it is done
- Examination and impressions
- Bite records and tooth shade selection
- Try-in where needed
- Fitting, adjustment and care instructions
- Review visits for sore spots
Time: Usually three to four visits over a few weeks.
Afterwards
- Remove and clean after meals; soak at night as advised
- Brush your natural teeth and gums daily
- Come back for adjustment if a spot feels sore
What to know before you decide
Flexible dentures are harder to reline or add teeth to later than acrylic ones, and they still rest partly on the gums. Implants or bridges, where possible, feel more like natural teeth.
