No more metal and not hard bits? No way!

The word dentures alone, makes anyone cringe. The thought of having this non aesthetic, uncomfortable hard plastic and metal, poorly adapted, constantly traumatising soft tissue and neighbouring teeth, vicariously sitting in one’s mouth, is not a very motivational one.  New innovative materials have been able to revolutionise this horrific image and restore smiles without causing any further distress of what one already feels due to having lost or extracted teeth.

Replacing these lost or missing teeth is essential to ensure the long term prognosis of remaining teeth. When left over a long period of time, spaces due to lost or missing teeth allow for neighbouring teeth to tilt inwards towards the open space, bone loss to occur, and facial profile changes depending on the number and size of spaces present.

Fortunately, today, there are several options available for replacing lost or extracted teeth. Things such as implants, fixed bridges, removal partial dentures and combination appliances allow a patient to restore their smile instantly. The flexible denture is an unbreakable, removable partial; denture that many people find very comfortable. These lightweight dentures are practically invisible, and completely eliminate the unsightly metal clasps that are usually associated with partial acrylic dentures and damage healthy neighbouring teeth. 

In fact, most flexible partial dentures are fabricated without the use of a metal frame - made instead from a strong, durable plastic that snaps securely and comfortably into place by “hugging” your existing natural teeth and gums.

The plastic used for these dentures is so strong that it can be very thin, eliminating that heavy, bulky feeling which makes wearing conventional partial dentures extremely unpleasant.  A flexible denture adapts to the constant movement and flexibility in your mouth.

An added bonus of this fantastic option is that the colour, shape and design of flexible partial dentures such as Valplast^®, blends in well with the natural appearance of the gums, making the partial denture virtually invisible.

Flexible Dentures are:

• Comfortable
• Affordable
• Virtually Invisible
• Non-Invasive
• Lightweight
• Strong & Durable

The flexibility, combined with strength and light weight provides complete comfort and great looks at a price that you can’t afford to go another day without your new, confident smile!

Flexible partial dentures involve only non-invasive procedures, and give you confidence while talking, eating, and most importantly: smiling.

While removable dentures usually need to be replaced after a few years as your mouth changes, flexible partial dentures such as Valplast^® partials, available at Artiste Studios, do come with a lifetime warranty against breakage and fracture in normal use.
