A partial denture is a removable and natural-looking tooth replacement option that helps restore the function of your jaw by replacing one or more missing teeth. Whether you opt for traditional partials, or flexible ones such as Valplast, this denture solution has many benefits, including:
- Prevents bone loss
- Improves speaking and chewing ability
- Supports surrounding bone and facial structure for a more youthful appearance
- Lowers your risk of any further tooth loss

Main Features of Valplast Flexible Dentures
Valplast flexible dentures are an innovative and natural-looking tooth replacement option for patients who can’t or don’t want to wear traditional partial dentures. To enhance patient comfort, they have been designed with the following features:
1. Metal Free
Valplast flexible partials are designed without the use of a metal frame and instead are fabricated from a strong, durable plastic that snaps securely and comfortably into place around your existing teeth. This makes them:
- Extremely lightweight
- Hypo-allergenic
- Biocompatible
- Easier to clean
Valplast plastic is extremely durable, but also very thin, eliminating that heavy, bulky feeling that can make wearing traditional partials uncomfortable.
2. Flexible
The strong, flexible nature of Valplast is perfectly suited to the variety of conditions in the mouth. The material and design of the nylon resin allows it to act as a built-in stress-breaker, with no minor or major connectors that tend to:
- Make speech more difficult
- Collect food under the gums
- Cause discomfort or hassle
The flexibility of the nylon and simplicity of design provides superior function and stress-distribution to a traditional partial denture.
3. Gum Colored Plastic
One of the biggest advantages of Valplast flexible partials is that they blend in very well with the natural appearance of your gums, making them virtually invisible. They are available in a clear, pink, and dark color and have almost a chameleon-like effect, picking up the characteristics of the underlying tissue.
In addition, the Valplast clasp will blend in with the surrounding gum tissue and virtually disappear, so all you will be wearing is a beautiful, perfect smile.
