Flexible partial dentures
Flexible partial dentures are a less expensive option compared to implants where a number of teeth are missing.
Flexible partial dentures are designed and moulded in our on site laboratory in Perfect Smile Dental Clinic in Hungary.
Our experienced dental technicians produce this removable prosthetic teeth that our dentist use to replace one or more than one missing teeth.
What are partial dentures made from
This tooth replacement prosthesis is made from an acrylic or metal base where the design allows the dentures to fit comfortably over the gums.
The replacement teeth are then attached to the base of the teeth, the replacement teeth are coloured and shaped to closely match your natural teeth.
How do they stay in the mouth
These flexible partial dentures are kept in position by metal clasps that are attached to existing natural teeth.
The metal clasps are designed in such a way that they can’t be seen and are as discreet as possible.
Thes type of denture is flexible, they fit into the gaps left behind by missing teeth, this making a huge improvement in the functionality and appearance of your smile.
One more important aspect of this treatment is it prevents adjacent natural teeth from moving or shifting out of place.
As the gums change over time so do natural teeth, some adjustments may be necessary to the flexible partial dentures.
We recommend that you attend Hungarian Dentists Wexford town clinic for regular check-ups to check for any changes that require adjustments.
