Partial dentures are designed and engineered to replace gaps left from lost natural teeth and where you still have natural teeth remaining but need to “fill the gaps” to help with aesthetics and function.
Partial dentures are anchored to selected remaining natural teeth and are removable dental appliances. Flexible dentures can be a great solution for those wanting “hidden from view ” clasp and may be an intolerance to acrylic or metal products or just prefer to try an alternative to what they have traditionally worn for their partial denture. Flexible dentures are metal free .

Flexible dentures need to be clinically recommended and expertly designed and not all presenting dental situations are suitable for a flexible denture and a more traditional denture frame is needed
While Flexible dentures have many benefits of comfort, no metal clasps and great aesthetics it must be remembered that a flexible denture may not have the same lifespan as an acrylic or metal frame denture and this would be discussed at a consultation.
In particular Flexible dentures are a great option if you are missing one to two teeth as they have minimal coverage in the mouth and can offer wonderful aesthetics results.
Flexible denture bases are manufactured from a softer flexible denture material compared to a rigid acrylic or metal frame base, some patients find this aspects more comfortable. Denture teeth are set in the flexible base.
