Flexible Partial Dentures: Are They a Good Fit for You?

For many people, dentures are a great choice for replacing lost teeth, as there are numerous denture options to choose from. If you’ve lost several teeth in a row, flexible partial dentures could be just what you need. At General & Cosmetic Family Dental Clinic in Burlington, Ontario, we have ample experience with denture treatments and can help you make wise denture decisions. An evaluation from a member of our team is the first step toward getting the replacement teeth you need.

Benefits of Flexible Snap-On Partial Dentures

Flexible partial dentures differ from traditional dentures in several ways. First, they’re softer and more pliable than traditional dentures and can conform better to your mouth and jaw. The base is composed of biocompatible plastic as opposed to acrylic, making flexible dentures nimbler and more comfortable to wear. Additional benefits include:

• The base of flexible partial dentures closely resembles the texture and colour of your gums to give your dentures a natural-looking appearance.
• Your prosthetics can be customized to match the colour, size, and shape of your natural teeth to give you a smile that’s aesthetically pleasing.
• Unlike traditional dentures that use clunky metal clamps for support, flexible partial dentures are held in place by transparent or gum-coloured clasps that surround adjacent natural teeth, making them hardly noticeable when you smile.
• Flexible partial denture treatment doesn’t require surgery, making it a quicker, easier treatment for restoring your smile naturally.
• These snap-on dentures can be easily removed at night for cleaning.

Are You a Candidate for Flexible Partial Dentures?

By working closely with Dr. Khanna and our team, you can determine if flexible partial dentures are a good choice for you. If you need to replace all your teeth, this denture option will not meet your restorative needs. If you have a history of periodontal disease, we may recommend another denture treatment, as flexible dentures can aggravate your condition.
