What are Valplast dentures?
Like most dentures, Valplast is a type of flexible denture. The reason Valplast dentures have been a go-to name in the dentistry world for the past five decades is that they provide the best quality partial flexible dentures on the market. Not only that, but they are natural looking, durable, and very comfortable.
How are Valplast dentures different to normal dentures?
Quality alone makes Valplast dentures stand out from the crowd. The dentures are made from an incredibly strong nylon resin and each comes with a lifetime guarantee protecting them from breakages or fractures. Compared to traditional dentures, Valplast dentures have no metal clasps and the transparent material above the teeth makes them appear more natural. They are lightweight and comfortable too.
Valplast dentures are normally smaller than standard acrylic dentures, allowing the roof of the mouth or the floor of the mouth to be free of denture extensions. This makes them very comfortable and allows patients to taste food more easily. Furthermore, they do not interfere with the tongue as much as acrylic dentures.
Valplast dentures are placed in hot water for a few seconds before wearing. This makes the material soft and flexible. Once inserted into the mouth it moulds itself tightly into place, reducing the need for denture adhesives.
Because of their high-quality design, Valplast dentures can sometimes cost a little more than traditional dentures, but most patients would agree that it is worth the extra money for a more comfortable, natural-looking finish.
These dentures are also available in different gum shades to suit different members of the population.
Who is a suitable candidate for Valplast dentures?
Valplast denture designs are very versatile and can be used to replace one, two, or multiple teeth. Patients who suffer allergies to acrylic or metals are also safe to use this type of denture. Patients with ongoing dental problems can still be fitted with a Valplast partial. The denture can be altered or reshaped to incorporate further extractions in the future.
What is the procedure for getting new dentures?
You will need to attend a consultation for our dentists to assess your missing teeth and let you know if Valplast dentures will be suitable for your case. If so, impressions will be taken.
A second visit will be needed for large-span dentures. This is to measure the bite and your occlusion. Smaller sized dentures do not require this visit.
The final visit will be for the fitting of the denture.
Taking care of your dentures
The strong nylon resin makes Valplast dentures virtually unbreakable in everyday life. However, that does not mean you can neglect them. Your dentist will advise you on what hygiene habits you should implement, as well as which cleaning products would work best.
Some dentists recommend removing dentures at night when you sleep. We feel that you could wear your denture at night as long as you maintain excellent denture and oral hygiene.
Are there any alternatives to Valplast dentures?
Yes. Patients can have acrylic dentures, metal dentures, other types of flexible dentures, or hybrid dentures. As a non-removable option, dental implants or dental bridges are also available at Pearl Dental Clinic. Please speak to one of our dentists regarding the most suitable solution for your individual needs.
