Flexible Dentures

Flexible dentures could be the perfect solution for patients who have lost one or more of their natural teeth and who cannot tolerate the traditional type of denture or implant.

Moveable dentures do not require adhesive or the need for metal clasps to hold the teeth in place, as it works by flexing into a comfortable position around the gums. Individuals with irregularities in the shape of their mouth could benefit greatly from the treatment and experience a growth to their self-confidence as a result.

Flexible dentures also provide a more cosmetic solution for people by acting more aesthetically pleasing than their traditional counterparts. The material used to create the fixture is transparent and blends seemingly natural colour to match the existing gums and teeth.

The essential and basic nature of the denture means it can be quickly manufactured making it the ideal solution for dental patients waiting to fill the gaps between the teeth after tooth loss, extraction, or gum disease.

Flexible denture aren’t for everyone however and there are a few things patients should be aware of. The first is the soft lining in the denture is far more susceptible to the build up of bacteria and can be more difficult to clean. Flexible denture wearers should also ask their dental professional to spot any bite irregularities as these are more difficult to spot in a moveable denture.
