Dentures
Dentures can be used to effectively replace some or all missing teeth. Partial dentures replacing one/some teeth can be made of hard acrylic resin or cobalt chrome. Full dentures replacing all the teeth in a jaw are usually made of acrylic. Each case is different. Your dentist will help you choose the most suitable denture framework depending on the clinical requirement.
The teeth are usually made from acrylic and can be set and colour matched to give a natural effect. Your dentist can also guide you with both NHS and private options.
Valplast Dentures
Valplast partial dentures are custom made from a nylon resin. Unlike acrylic and chrome, they are flexible and lightweight. They fit around your existing teeth with no metal clasps making them very discreet and virtually invisible.
Valplast is currently the most advanced denture material and is only available privately. Your dentist will discuss case suitability and pricing.
