Partials

It is always our goal to help patients retain their natural teeth whenever possible. There are times, however - whether by disease, accident, or the gradual, damaging effects of time - when patients may face the prospect of losing teeth.

Fortunately, scientific advances have given today's patients some superior options for replacing teeth. One of those is the precision partial (no-clasp partial). The result is a partial that gives you confidence while eating, talking, and smiling!

Claspless Partial

Partial with Clasps

Unlike traditional partials, the precision partial is virtually invisible because there are no telltale metal clasps or hooks. Preparation and fitting involves only non-invasive procedures. Attachments are hidden between your existing teeth and the precision partial. One of the greatest benefits, besides a superior and snug fit (no slipping), is that they are much kinder to your teeth and gums. When biting and chewing, traditional partials slightly torque the teeth the hooks attach to and, over a period of time, can actually loosen teeth. Precision partials gently rotate on the attachments when chewing, thereby reducing stress on the remaining teeth.

It was long thought that removable partial dentures had to be rigid to be effective. The innovation of the Valplast Flexible Partial allows the restoration to adapt to the constant movement and flexibility in your mouth. This is the underlying thinking behind Valplast's innovative flexible, removable partial denture. The flexibility, combined with strength and light weight, provides total comfort and great looks!

Valplast partials are custom-fabricated in a dental laboratory. They are a prescription only product and we can help you decide if they're right for you. The preparation is relatively simple because your natural teeth don't need to be altered in any way. The Valplast partial is virtually invisible because there are no telltale metal clasps, and the material itself blends with the tissue in your mouth so that the only thing that shows is your beautiful smile.

If you currently have a traditional partial, chances are you will be a good candidate for a precision partial. If you have missing teeth and are considering a partial, a precision partial would be an ideal option. For information, please call us today and talk to any of our friendly and helpful staff.
