Here are the clinical photos of a Valplast partial denture I delivered today:

missing-teeth — missing upper right back teeth

A Valplast partial denture is thin, lightweight, and flexible with invisible clasps that surround the natural teeth. Flexible partials are a quality premium product that offer the benefits of superior esthetics, comfort, function and bio-compatibility. I use these as a temporary solution to fill in missing teeth while we place implants, or a fixed bridge; or as a final solution, if costs are an issue.

Benefits:

ESTHETIC – the translucent material blends naturally with the tissue tone and replaces clasps
COMFORTABLE – thin, lightweight and resilient with precision fit and retention
BIO-COMPATIBLE – non-allergenic, monomer and formaldehyde free
FUNCTIONAL – flexible to create a stress-breaker effect, with no minor or major connectors to collect food or affect speech

A wonderful lady who I made happy today and a very rewarding and enjoyable case for me

Emergency case of the day

This patient fell and knocked out his front teeth and broke his 30 year old bridge off. I was able to make him a temporary upper partial denture in one day so he didn’t have to miss much work. I will replace the broken metal on his old crown in his mouth with a nice porcelain crown and place dental implants in the future.

This patient was missing a few lower teeth. An inexpensive option to replace these teeth is with a flexible removable partial denture.

This patient lost his 2 lower central incisors. We placed a bone graft to build up his lower jaw, and I made him an immediate partial denture while he heals. We will place dental implants in 3-4 months.

Immediate partial denture cases

In these 2 examples of immediate partial dentures, Dr. Gentry extracts the patients broken, decayed, hopeless teeth and places the partial denture at the same visit. Following healing dental implants, fixed bridges or a flexible partial denture will be fabricated.

unnamed-1 — The partial denture was made before the teeth were extracted so she was never without teeth.
