Flexible dentures are made from a soft, flexible material called thermoplastic resin. This material is lightweight and tends to be more comfortable to wear than traditional acrylic or metal dentures. The flexibility allows the denture to adapt to the contours of your mouth, providing a better fit and reducing the risk of sore spots or discomfort.

 

Aesthetics: The absence of metal clasps or wires makes them less noticeable, which can boost your confidence when smiling or speaking.

Durability: Flexible dentures are less prone to breakage compared to traditional acrylic dentures. The flexible material can withstand everyday use and is less likely to fracture if dropped accidentally.

 

Flexible dentures may not be suitable for everyone, as they have certain limitations. They are typically used for partial dentures rather than full dentures. Additionally, they may not be recommended in cases where extensive tooth loss or complex bite issues exist.

 

Cost: Flexible dentures tend to be more expensive than traditional acrylic dentures. However, the cost can vary depending on factors such as the number of teeth being replaced and the complexity of the case.
