Flexible, unbreakable dentures are made from thermoplastics or nylon, they offer several benefits for patients compared to traditional dentures.

Here are some advantages of flexible, unbreakable dentures

Increased Durability:

The flexibility of the material used in these dentures makes them more resistant to breakage compared to traditional acrylic dentures. They are less likely to fracture or break, providing increased longevity.

Increased Comfort:

Flexible Unbreakable dentures are more comfortable to wear because they conform to the natural contours of the mouth. The flexibility reduces the likelihood of pressure points and possible irritation on the gums.

Supreme Comfort and Lightweight:

Unbreakable(TM) dentures are lightweight, making them more comfortable for daily wear. The reduced weight can be particularly beneficial for individuals who may find traditional dentures heavy, uncomfortable or cumbersome.

Very Natural Appearance:

The flexible material used in these dentures allows for a more natural and lifelike appearance. They can closely mimic the colour and translucency of natural gums, providing a very pleasing result.

Better Adaptation to Changes in the Mouth:

The flexibility of the denture material allows for better adaptation to changes in the shape of the mouth over time. This is particularly helpful when you lose significant weight resulting in changes to the gums and mouth.

Reduced Allergic Reactions:

Some patients may be sensitive or allergic to the resins and certain materials used in traditional dentures. Flexible denture materials, are hypoallergenic, low tox and less likely to cause allergic reactions.

Bio-Compatible:

Flexible denture materials are often considered biocompatible, meaning they are well-tolerated by the body. They are less likely to cause irritation or inflammation in the oral tissues. These are a great solution for patients looking for a more Holistic approach to their Oral Health Solutions.

Improved Shock Absorption:

The flexibility of the Unbreakable Dentures provides a degree of shock absorption, making the dentures more forgiving when biting or chewing. This can contribute to increased comfort for the wearer. Also contributing to the greater strength of these particular type of Dentures.

Resistance to Staining:

Flexible denture materials are often resistant to staining, maintaining a more consistent colour over time compared to some traditional denture materials.

Less Impact on Speech:

The flexibility of these dentures can result in less interference with speech compared to some rigid materials, improving the overall speech experience for the wearer.

While flexible, unbreakable dentures offer these benefits, they are actually not suitable in all applications. Generally speaking these Dentures are not relined and we can not make additions to these dentures once made. Unlike traditional Acrylic Partial Dentures which are able to have extra teeth added at any stage.

It is of course recommended to book for a consultation to discover the most suitable option based on their specific oral health needs and preferences.
