What is a Flexible Partial Denture?

It is a soft and bendable oral item which is made primarily using nylon. A flexible denture can be taken off and is a lot less rigid compared to many other options. It blends in naturally with your gums, which makes them barely noticeable.

Nylon resin is a thermoplastic that is highly adaptable with lesser chances of breaking. They are softer and lighter, making them a lot more comfortable. They are a popular alternative for those who do not like acrylic or metal dentures.

Benefits of Using Flexible Partial Dentures

Getting a better understanding of how a flexible partial denture will give you a better perspective. There are many ways in which they provide an advantage to users and make life easier for you.

Lighter & More Comfortable

Lighter & More Comfortable: The material is softer than acrylic, making it more convenient for many patients.

Flexible Base

These oral items are capable of adapting to movements of the mouth.

Barely Noticeable

The dental item is made using translucent material, which matches the colour of the gums and blends into the aesthetic of the mouth.

Hypoallergenic alternative

Many patients who are allergic to metals or acrylic can use our nylon-based dentures for better oral health.

Lower Odds of a Poor Fit

Since they are capable of adjusting to the shape of the mouth, there is a lower chance that they may need immediate changes to their design.

Unlikely to Break

These oral items are bendable and do not break easily. This makes it a good choice for patients who do not like going through repairs.

Patient-First Approach

Our prosthetists are trained and taught to take note of all the key details. We do our best to provide oral appliances that are customised to your needs and provide great satisfaction. Patients can even contact us after the handover if they need any further guidance in using them.

Step Process: What to Expect

FBA Dental Services always aspires to make things easier for the patient and provide more clarity along the way. Here is how we create the right flexible dentures for you.

Consultation

The prosthetist will ask you plenty of key questions to see if you are fit to receive dentures or not. Do not be disheartened if they do not feel you are ready for the denture yet, as they will still do their best to offer another good solution.

Collecting Impressions

Once you have been approved to receive your flexible partial denture, the prosthetist will take an impression of your teeth. This is done in the first meeting itself in most cases. In the following sessions, your bite will be taken to see if your mouth structure is compatible with our wax designs.

Try-ins/Trial

Next, you will be given a trial prosthetic and asked for feedback. This is done to check if they are comfortable. Do not hesitate, and let us know any issues that you are facing with the trial piece. It will help us make corrections to provide you with a better version soon.

Final Fitting

Based on our observations and your inputs, a final version will be created. The fitting and all other formalities will be carried out until both of us are satisfied with it. Then the flexible dentures are handed over to you, and after-care instructions are also provided.

The precise number of days it will take from the first meeting to the handover will vary slightly by patient, depending on various factors. Depending on your unique needs, our prosthetists will have to adapt their methodologies accordingly to give you the best oral appliance possible.

When do We Recommend Flexible Partial Dentures?

These oral items are great for many patients, but not for everyone. We are likely to suggest these dental appliances in the following cases

If you have any other unique needs, let our prosthetists know so they can better judge your situation and offer the right solution.

After Care and Continued Support

Do not think that we are going to ditch you after handing over the dentures. On the contrary, we even encourage our patients to remain in touch with us after receiving them. New issues can always arise, so it helps to stay connected.

It will take some time for your mouth and body to adapt to the foreign item. It is normal for patients to experience the following issues

These minor problems will happen at the start, but gradually subside as you get used to the flexible dentures. You may even need to use a dental adhesive in some cases.

Getting a prosthetic is quite normal, especially with age. Sometimes you may have to use multiple dentures during your lifetime. Taking good care of oral items will help you keep hold of them for longer.

Using your flexible partial dentures correctly and taking the right steps to maintain them is important. It allows you to use them for longer. Here are some good practices to follow

Rinse the prosthetic daily (or more) to remove food particles or stains on it.
You can use soap if allowed by your prosthetist, but wash the appliance properly to remove soap residue.
Always remove them before sleeping.
They should not be exposed to bleach, detergents or boiling water as they can weaken the denture.
If allowed by your prosthetist, you can soak them at night using a dental solution. Just remember to wash them once before you use them again.
Brush daily using non-abrasive toothpaste.

In case of any other queries, you can get in touch with us, and we will be more than willing to help you out.

Oftentimes, even after the handover, minor adjustments can still be necessary. You are even more likely to face this if you are getting dentures for the first time. This is why follow-ups are important. Keep the following things in mind

You can still reach out to us after you’ve received the oral apparatus.
Preserve all receipts and other documents carefully.
If the initial discomfort is excessive, you should let us know.
Pay attention to the range of motion within your mouth. If it does not improve with time, changes may be needed.

Our experts at FBA Dental Services have faced these issues before and know how to resolve them, so you do not face any inconveniences.
