Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are made to replace multiple missing teeth.  This is accomplished by making a removable prosthesis that connects all of the missing teeth together on a metal or resin structure. This prosthesis can also be made from  a combination of both materials.

There are different kinds of metals available fabricate the removable prosthesis which gives different qualities.

Chromium-Cobalt

Vitallium^tm 2000-Nickel and beryllium-free cobalt

Plastic partial dentures are less expensive to make. But unless they are designed very carefully they can damage the teeth they fit against. Metal partial dentures are usually from an alloy of cobalt and chromium and they are much stronger. They are lighter to wear and can be supported by the remaining teeth. Although the base is metal, they have gum-colored plastic and natural-looking teeth fixed to them. They are more expensive than the plastic ones.

Valplast®

Valplast® is a thermoplastic nylon with excellent elastic memory and outstanding aesthetic qualities. The unique translucency of the material allows the patients natural tissue tone to show through, making Valplast® virtually invisible to the untrained eye. The strength and durability of Valplast® is unmatched, and the material is guaranteed for life against breakage under normal wear and tear conditions.
