Types of flexible dentures

Two flexible options, one goal: comfort.

Every patient’s needs are different, so Future Smiles offers a range of flexible denture products. The flexibility, strength and light weight of these materials are why we often recommend them.

Flexible vs traditional partial dentures

A partial denture that moves with you.

It was long thought that removable partial dentures had to be rigid to be effective. Flexible dentures are designed to adapt to the constant movement of your mouth. Compared with traditional partials, flexible dentures are:

Non-invasive
Typically resistant to chemical deterioration
More comfortable for chewing and speaking
Stain and odour resistant
Lighter and easier to wear
Hypoallergenic
Who flexible dentures are for

Are flexible dentures right for you?

Flexible dentures such as FlexiLytes and Valplast may be suitable for patients who:

Have lost a group of teeth from the same area of the mouth
Want a less invasive option than dental bridges or implant-supported dentures
Are looking for a more comfortable alternative to traditional partial dentures
Are healing after implant surgery and waiting for their implants to fuse with the jawbone

Important to know

Flexible dentures have limitations. They cannot be used for complete dentures or for patients with extensive periodontal disease.

During a consultation, our denturist can help determine whether a flexible partial denture is the right option for you.

Frequently asked questions

Flexible denture questions, answered.

What are flexible dentures made of?

Flexible dentures are made from a thin, flexible nylon-based material instead of rigid acrylic and metal. Brands include Valplast and FlexiLytes. The gum-coloured material grips your natural teeth, so there are no visible metal clasps.

Are flexible dentures right for everyone?

Flexible partials work well for many people missing a few teeth, especially those who want a metal-free option. They are less suitable when many teeth are missing or when teeth may need to be added later. Your denturist will help you compare options.

How do I care for a flexible denture?

Clean it daily with a soft brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner, and avoid very hot water, which can distort the material. Professional cleaning helps remove stubborn staining, and Future Smiles patients receive one complimentary cleaning each year.

Do I need a referral to see a denturist in Calgary?

No. You can contact Future Smiles directly to book a free consultation at our Coral Springs (NE) or Macleod Trail (SW) clinic. If your situation needs coordination with your dentist or another oral health provider, our team will discuss that with you.

Does insurance or CDCP cover this service?

Future Smiles accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), NIHB, AISH and major dental insurance plans, with direct billing where available. Coverage, eligibility and co-payments vary by plan, so our team reviews your expected patient portion with you before treatment begins. Medicard financing is also available for eligible treatment.
