Put Patients First with Flexible Partials


Improved Comfort, Functionality and Appearance

Page Image - Valplast 1Today many dentists are prescribing flexible material for removable partial dentures (RPDs) because it makes for a better, stronger appliance in a fraction of the time.

Flexible material reduces chair time, eliminates invasive procedures, and the cumbersome materials associated with rigid partials.

With Valplast and FlexStar from DeLux Dental, there is no longer any need for metal!

What DeLux client patients love most is how their flexible partials literally “disappear in the mouth.” The base material blends with the surrounding tissue making base-tissue transitions unnoticeable.

What Makes Flexible Dentures So Unique and Special?

Page Image - Valplast 7Our flexible partials are made from Valplast or FlexStar flexible denture base resin that is ideal for partial dentures and unilateral restorations. The resin is a biocompatible nylon thermoplastic with unique physical and esthetic properties that provide unlimited design versatility and eliminates the concern for acrylic allergies.

Working with metal-based RPD design is complex because it involves adapting rigid materials to a flexible environment. This leaves much room for error, especially in cases where ideal designs Flex_Star_logoand clinical preparations are challenged.

With our flexible dentures, the material in these partials is perfectly suited to the variety of natural conditions in the mouth. It simplifies the design and enables the RPD itself to balance the simultaneous requirements of retention, support and stability.
