Valplast Dentures in Greensboro, NC

Valplast is the right fit for people who want to replace a few missing teeth without anything that looks or feels like a denture. Instead of metal clasps, the partial holds on with thin, gum-colored extensions that wrap around the base of your natural teeth, so there's no metal showing when you talk or laugh. The material is slightly translucent, letting your own gum color show through for a natural look. Because it flexes, it's more comfortable over tender spots, less likely to crack if it's dropped, and easier to slip in and out than a rigid partial. It's also metal-free and acrylic-free, which makes it a good option if you have a metal sensitivity or allergy.

Valplast works best for replacing one to a few teeth when the teeth around the gap are healthy enough to hold it. It isn't the answer for every case. A flexible partial is harder to reline or add teeth to later than a traditional partial denture, and when many teeth are missing or the bite needs extra support, a rigid framework or dental implants may hold up better. Dr. Locklear will check your remaining teeth, gums, and bite and tell you honestly whether Valplast, a traditional partial, or another option will serve you best over time.
