Flexible Dentures Calgary
Unlike traditional, bulky dentures, flexible partial dentures such as Valplast and FlexiLytes are made from a plastic material which fits neatly into your mouth and is virtually invisible. In addition, they DO NOT require metal clasps to keep them in place.
At Future Smiles, we often recommend this tooth replacement solution to our patients. The flexibility of these dentures, combined with their strength and light material, provides total comfort and great aesthetics.

Who is a Good Candidate for Flexible Dentures?
Today, there are many treatment options available for patients who suffer from tooth loss. Flexible dentures such as FlexiLytes and Valplast may be a suitable for patients who:
- Have lost a group of teeth from the same area of the mouth
- Want a less invasive treatment option compared to dental bridges or implant-supported dentures
- Are looking for a more comfortable alternative to traditional partial dentures
- Are recovering from dental implant surgery & waiting for their tooth implants to fuse with the jawbone.
However, flexible dentures do have some limitations and CANNOT be used for complete dentures or patients with extensive periodontal disease.
During an in-depth consultation, our qualified Calgary denturist can help determine whether flexible partial dentures are the right tooth replacement option for you.
