Flexible Dentures

What are Flexible Dentures?

A flexible denture adapts around the shape of the teeth and gums upon insertion and removal and can be used when it is difficult or impossible to insert a plastic or light alloy denture.

How do Flexible Partial Dentures Work?

Flexible dentures "flex" into position and often require no clasps to hold the dentures firmly in place. For those people who can't wear normal dentures, or have remaining teeth, flexible partial dentures often provide the best solution. You won't have to worry about your dentures coming loose and your speech will also remain clear.

Advantages of Flexible Dentures

Flexible partial dentures are designed to fit the gum tissue perfectly. This means that there is no need for clasps or denture adhesive. Patients can benefit from increased retention without having to wear uncomfortable metal clasps.

The material used in these types of dentures is generally transparent and blends in with the natural gum colour of your mouth. Flexible partial dentures are also easier to manufacture, having less components meaning they can be made in a much shorter period of time. This means you won't have to wait for your dentures to be fitted as with metal alloy partial dentures.
