Flexible denture

Breakthroughs in modern dentistry now allow for what are called flexible removable partial dentures (RPD's) that are flexible and more esthetically pleasing than more traditional denture. These partial dentures are a great alternative for patients who prefer to wear a removable denture rather than a fixed restoration such as a dental bridge or dental implant.The flexible base of the appliance adapts to the constant movement and flexibility in the mouth.

Benefits of Flexible Partial Dentures

Besides improving the esthetic and functional appearance of your mouth, flexible partials also offer other great benefits. They are used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw. Because there are no metal clasps they are virtually invisible and blend right in with the natural color of the tissue in your mouth so no one has to know you're wearing it.

Additionally, flexible partials also:

  • Make chewing and speaking easier
  • Alleviate the stress of your bite
  • Maintain the shape of your face
  • Prevent your teeth from shifting
  • Decrease the risk of periodontal disease
