What Is Flexible Dentures?
Flexible Dentures is a type of dental partial dentures designed using a soft and pliable thermoplastic material. This advanced dental solution was developed to provide a more natural and comfortable alternative to traditional acrylic dentures. The flexible base is gum-coloured, lightweight, and adaptable to the contours of the mouth, allowing it to fit securely and comfortably. Unlike conventional dentures that rely on hard acrylic bases and visible metal clasps, Flexible Dentures blend naturally with the surrounding tissues, offering a more aesthetic appearance. The material’s flexibility allows it to absorb pressure during chewing, making daily use easier and less irritating to the gums.
Flexible Dentures serve as an ideal solution for partial tooth replacement, particularly for those who may find rigid dentures difficult to wear due to sensitive gums or mouth irregularities. The dentist at our affiliated clinic recommends Flexible Dentures as a comfortable option for restoring function and confidence in speaking and eating.
Another significant benefit of Flexible Dentures is their natural and discreet look. The translucent base material allows the dentures to harmonize with the natural shade of the gums, creating a realistic appearance. In addition to aesthetics, the soft and lightweight structure makes them less bulky, promoting ease of adaptation and wear. Flexible Dentures combine functionality, comfort, and appearance, making them a practical and appealing choice for partial dentures wearers seeking a reliable and natural-looking solution.
How It Works
Flexible Dentures begins with consultation by the dentist at our affiliated clinic, where an oral examination is carried out to assess the condition of the gums, teeth, and overall oral health. During this stage, the dentist determines whether Flexible Dentures are the most suitable option for tooth replacement. Once confirmed, impressions of the mouth are taken to ensure that the dentures will fit precisely and comfortably.
After the consultation and impression process, the fabrication of the Flexible Dentures is carried out in a dental laboratory. The material is shaped and molded according to the exact measurements of the mouth. This process typically takes 1 to 6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the case. Once completed, the dentures are carefully fitted by the dentist, who makes minor adjustments if necessary to ensure proper alignment, comfort, and stability. The procedure for the fitting appointment usually ranges from 30 to 60 minutes, making it a relatively quick and non-invasive dental procedure.
Since no surgical procedure is involved, there is no downtime, and normal activities such as speaking and eating can resume shortly after the fitting. The lightweight structure also helps distribute pressure evenly while chewing, preventing sore spots. Overall, the process of obtaining flexible dentures offers a fast, comfortable, and aesthetic solution for partial tooth replacement, providing both functionality and confidence with minimal adjustment time.
