How much do Valplast dentures cost?

[Shami]

Hello

I have a top plastic denture at the moment which I find very difficult to wear as it seems to very loose and recently I heard that there is the option of having valplast dentures which stay in the mouth better than normal plastic dentures.

I would like to know how much Valplast dentures cost? How many visits does it take to get one made? Am I right in assuming that these dentures are flexible and therefore cant break?

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

Valplast dentures are a new form of dentures that the type of the plastic used in them is different to the conventional plastic and as you mentioned it is very flexible and does not easily break. It fits better than conventional dentures and the clasp can be made from the same material as the denture itself which is not very visible.

The cost of these dentures vary from case to case and it really can be quoted once we have clinically assessed your case. Some may need metal frames, even with Valplast dentures, and the type of the metal again changes the cost. For example is it cobalt chromium metal frame or is it titanium metal frame. But as a guide they cost anything from £500 to £800.
