What is Valplast?

Valplast is the name of the company based in the USA who has introduced a new revolutionary technology to the dental industry of producing flexible partial dentures. The material used is a denture base resin which is a bio-compatible nylon thermoplastic with physical and aesthetic properties. The material is translucent which allows the patient`s natural tissue shade to blend with the denture and achieve natural looking gums and teeth.

Valpast flexible dentures are guaranteed for life but you will have to make sure that not any other material is used.

Not ALL flexible dentures are made from Valplast material.

Ask your dentist for the official Valplast lifetime Guarantee Certificate.

This is your guarantee that you have received a genuine Valplast appliance.
