Valplast flexible partials are metal free restorations designed to fit comfortably and discreetly into the mouth, blending seamlessly with surrounding teeth. Valplast partials have been produced and perfected for more than 50 years, and millions of dental patients have turned to them for long-term tooth replacement. They are highly pliable and completely non-breakable, ensuring that Valplast partial denture wearers do not have to be concerned about dropping their restorations as they would be with traditional partials.
Did you know…
that Valplast flexible partials are made without the use of metal? In fact, the durable plastic material Valplast dentures are made from is made to fit securely over natural teeth and gums without the use of metal clasps. Many patients feel that the lightweight Valplast flexible partials are easier to adapt to than traditional partials, as they are thinner and feel more natural in the mouth.

Being fit for Valplast partial dentures is much simpler than being fit for traditional partials.

Will I need to follow any special instructions in caring for my new Valplast partial dentures?
Yes. You can preserve the look and feel of your Valplast partial dentures by cleaning your prosthesis every day and allowing it to soak for approximately 15 minutes 3 times a week. You should also keep your Valplast partial submerged in the water anytime it is not in use in order to avoid warping. Also, remember to continue caring for your natural teeth and gums by brushing and flossing daily, as well as visiting your dentist for periodic cleanings twice yearly.
