YOUR TEETH SHOULD NEVER BE A REASON TO STOP SMILING.
When you’re ready to replace missing teeth, you have a number of potential solutions available, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
It’s important for you to consider all of these issues because you’re likely to live with your choice for quite a long time.
You don’t have to make this decision alone. Your dentist can help you assess the choices in light of your clinical needs, personal preferences and
financial considerations, and help you determine which one is best for you.
COMFORT
Your ultimate comfort is one of the most important considerations when restoring your missing teeth. Fixed restorations such as bridges and implants
usually feel much like your natural teeth when finished. The process of making them, however, will take several visits to the dentist or oral surgeon and
involves invasive procedures. These are also more costly restorations. While this is the most permanent and natural-feeling restoration, the process may
not suit you.
When considering a removable partial, many people find the Valplast® Flexible Partial to be the most comfortable option, and the final restoration can be made
very quickly! While the cost is often higher than a partial made with visible metal clasps, the results of the flexible partial are beautiful, and patient
satisfaction is very high. The Valplast® flexible partial involves only non-invasive procedures, and gives you confidence in your restoration while talking,
eating, and most importantly: smiling.
AESTHETICS
If you can’t bear the thought of visible clasps or a series of temporaries that change with each appointment, then the flexible partial is an option that looks
very natural, and is designed to stay beautiful and comfortable. Even fixed restorations that look good at first could deteriorate over time due to gum recession or
changes in your mouth.
LONGEVITY
Removable partials usually need to be replaces after few years as your mouth changes. Flexible partial dentures from Valplast® do come with a lifetime warranty
against breakage and fracture in normal use. Even if the partial needs to be replaced, the Valplast® flexible is designed to last.
EXPENSE
If cost is your primary consideration, removable restorations are the more affordable solution, and the results can look totally natural. Ask your dentist
about affordable non-metal flexible partials that blend in with your natural tissues and become invisible in the mouth.

NOBODY HAS TO KNOW THAT YOU’RE MISSING TEETH
You have numerous options in replacing missing teeth, from removable appliances to fixed bridges and implants. Each option has its own set of advantages and
disadvantages. To help you consider your choices we have put together the following information.
Removable Partial Dentures
Removable partial dentures are custom-made appliances that should put periodically for cleaning. They are generally affordable and require only a short time
to make. We now have removable partial dentures that are practically invisible and very comfortable.
In the past, removable partial dentures were only made with metal and acrylic. Today there are lightweight, comfortable flexible partial dentures that can
completely metal free. With the option of the practically invisible Valplast® flexible partial, nobody has to know you are missing natural teeth.
Fixed Restorations
Fixed restorations become a permanent part of your mouth. Once they are completed they are treated much like your natural teeth. Completing a fixed restoration
will take many visits to the dentist and the conditions in your mouth may not be ideal for a fixed bridge or implant. Your dentist can help you decide
if fixed restorations are right for you.
VALPLAST® FLEXIBLE PARTIAL DENTURES GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT.
Flexible partial dentures are comfortable and affordable choice.
It was long thought that removable partial dentures had to be rigid to be effective. The innovation of the Valplast® flexible partial allows the restoration
to adapt the constant movement and flexibility in your mouth.
This is the underlying thinking behind Valplast’s® innovative flexible removable partial. The flexibility, combined with strength and light weight, provides total
comfort and great looks!
The preparation is relatively simple because your natural teeth don’t need to be altered. The Valplast® partial is virtually invisible because there are no
telltale metal clasps and the material itself blends with the tissue in your mouth so that the only thing that shows is your beautiful smile.
