Choosing the Right Partial Denture: CustomFlex, Valplast®, and Cast Metal Elite Partial
Partial dentures are designed to restore missing teeth, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits. Below are three popular materials for partial dentures, each with unique advantages tailored to different patient needs.
1. CustomFlex Flexible Partial Dentures
Features: Made from advanced thermoplastic resin, CustomFlex offers excellent flexibility and a translucent appearance. It comes in various shades, and some designs incorporate a metal framework for added stability.
Benefits:
Comfortable & Lightweight: Provides a comfortable fit with minimal bulk.
Aesthetic Look: The semi-transparent material blends seamlessly with natural gums, creating a nearly invisible look.
Ideal for Sensitive Patients: No metal structure, making it a good choice for patients sensitive to acrylics.
2. Valplast® Flexible Partial Dentures
Features: Valplast® uses flexible, translucent materials and can be made without a metal framework. It is available in clear, pink, and dark shades to match various skin tones.
Benefits:
Natural Aesthetic: The translucent nature allows the denture to blend with the gums, providing an almost invisible fit.
Comfort & Flexibility: Offers excellent flexibility, reducing discomfort from friction.
Hypoallergenic: A great option for patients allergic to acrylic, as it is biocompatible and resistant to breaking.
3. Cast Metal Elite Partial Dentures
Features: Made with high-strength chrome-cobalt alloys (Vitallium 2000), these partials provide superior support and stability, especially for patients who require strong bite force.
Benefits:
Durable & Long-Lasting: The metal framework ensures strength, longevity, and resistance to distortion.
Precision Fit: Can be adjusted to perfectly fit the contours of the mouth, ensuring a secure fit.
Better Chewing Ability: The sturdy metal structure provides improved chewing efficiency for complex restorations.
