Melbourne Dental Ceramics supplies a comprehensive range of dental ceramic products for dental clinics. Their flexible dentures are very easy to wear and extremely strong as well as flexible. These flexible dentures eliminate the need for invasive procedures and use of cumbersome materials associated with rigid partials. Metal-based RPD or removable partial dentures have a complex design whereas flexible partials are perfectly suited to the natural mouth environment. Traditional rigid partials feature unattractive metal clasps across the front surface of natural teeth to hold them in place that may over time cause damage to the tooth surfaces and reduce the stability of the supporting teeth.
Flexible dentures on the other hand, blend with the natural tissue providing virtually invisible support and a more pleasing smile. These dentures are available in four natural tones of pink, light pink, meharry and light meharry to match the patient’s tooth colour. Non-pigmented dentures are also available for special applications. The clasps of these dentures blend with the surrounding tissue and virtually become invisible. The flexibility of these dentures also makes them more adaptable to paediatric patients, cancerous mouths as well as cleft palates. These are ideal replacements for acrylic dentures especially in situations when the patient is allergic to acrylic or when protuberant bony formations restrict the insertion of an acrylic full denture. Flexible dentures also find application in cosmetic veneers to mask gingival recession, splints and nesbits.
