PROSTHETIC TREATMENT
WHY FLEXIBLE DENTURES?
Flexible dentures are made from a soft, bendable material that moves gently with your mouth. They are light, comfortable and usually free of metal clasps, so they look natural and feel more like your own teeth.
THE PROCESS
Flexible dentures are carefully made to fit your mouth, and treatment takes a few visits.
We check your mouth and take precise impressions for a well-fitting denture.
We choose the shade of your teeth and the gum colour so the denture blends in.
A trial fit is done to check comfort, bite and appearance before the final denture is made.
The finished denture is fitted, and we review it to make sure it is comfortable.
THE BENEFITS
Flexible, thin material that is gentle on the gums.
Gum-coloured clasps blend in, with no visible metal.
Bends rather than snapping if dropped.
A good choice for those allergic to some acrylics or metals.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
GOOD TO KNOW
Find answers to common questions about flexible dentures.
They are made from a thin, flexible material rather than hard acrylic, and usually do not use metal clasps, so they feel lighter and look more natural.
Most people find them more comfortable because they are thinner and flex gently with the mouth.
With good care, they often last five to eight years, though this varies from person to person.
Clean them daily with a soft brush and a cleaner made for dentures, and avoid hot water or harsh chemicals that can damage the material.
Small changes are possible, though flexible dentures can be harder to adjust than hard ones. We will advise you at your review.
Yes. Start with soft foods, and avoid very hard or sticky foods, which can affect any denture.
