Flexible Partial Dentures

At Affordable Dentures & Implants, we offer flexible partial dentures that provide a comfortable fit and a natural look.

Flexible Partial Denture Teeth

For patients who are not in need of implants or full dentures, Affordable Dentures & Implants offers a wide variety of partial denture solutions at the best prices. Flexible partial dentures offer a softer fit than other kinds of partial dentures, as they are made out of comfortable, malleable plastic. Because of this, flexible partials are often easier for patients to get used to. These dentures are also a suitable choice for patients who want a natural look.

What are flexible dentures?

Flexible partial dentures are partial dentures that are made from a soft, malleable material that sits on top of the gums in the gaps of missing teeth, offering a more comfortable fit than metal or acrylic partial dentures. A flexible partial denture is a great choice for those who prioritize a natural look, as these dentures are available in multiple shades of pink to mimic real gums..

Unlike cast metal partial dentures these dentures may be suitable for those who are sensitive or allergic to metal. Flexible partial dentures are also removable.

Flexible Partial Candidates

If you are missing one or several teeth in the same general area of your mouth, a flexible partial denture might be the right option for you. You can even get a partial denture for your front teeth that will still look and feel natural. The rest of your remaining teeth and gums must be in healthy condition to minimize adjustments as your mouth changes.

Affordable Dentures & Implants offers flexible partial dentures with a comfortable fit and a natural look. The material used to fabricate the flexible partial dentures is thermoplastic, which means it tends to be softer when inserted in warm water. This material is more premium, they tend to be a little bit harder to find and may have a higher price tag associated with them. Flexible partial dentures also require additional time to manufacture and are not available on the same day at participating Affordable Dentures & Implants practices.

Our skilled team of denture dentists can help you decide which denture solution will work best for your unique situation.

Advantages of Flexible Partial Dentures

Some advantages of flexible partial dentures are that they are removable and offer a soft and comfortable fit that can be much easier to get used to than a metal partial denture or an acrylic partial denture.

This type of denture is long lasting, but will break down faster than a cast metal partial denture.

Be aware that repairs might not be possible with some flexible partial dentures, and they may require the replacement of the entire denture device.
