Dentures are removable dental appliances that are designed to replace missing teeth and restore the function and appearance of a person’s smile. Dentures can be made to replace a few teeth or a full arch of teeth, and they come in several different types and styles.
Traditional dentures consist of a gum-colored base made of acrylic or other materials that fits over the patient’s gums. The base holds the prosthetic teeth. The denture is custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth, and it is held in place by suction, adhesive, or clips.
Another type of denture is the implant-supported denture, which is anchored in place with dental implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures offer more stability and durability than traditional dentures and can be a good option for patients who want a more permanent solution for tooth replacement.
Partial dentures are another type of denture that is used when a patient is missing one or more teeth but still has some natural teeth remaining. A partial denture is typically made of a metal or acrylic framework that attaches to the remaining teeth and holds the prosthetic teeth in place.
Dentures require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure their longevity and to prevent gum irritation and other dental problems. Patients who wear dentures should also see their dentist regularly to ensure proper fit and to check for any signs of wear or damage.
Bondi Dentistry are providers of Valplast Flexible Dentures.
Valplast dentures are flexible dentures designed to be more comfortable and discreet than traditional dentures. They are made from a flexible nylon resin material that is lightweight and durable, which allows for a snug and comfortable fit. Unlike traditional dentures, which are typically made from acrylic or porcelain, Valplast dentures are less bulky and can adapt better to the shape of the gums, which can reduce discomfort and irritation.
Valplast dentures are less noticeable than traditional dentures and do not require metal clasps, which can be unsightly and uncomfortable for some patients.
Valplast dentures are also more resistant to breakage and damage than traditional dentures. The flexible nylon resin material is less likely to crack or chip, making these dentures a good option for patients who have a history of dropping or damaging their dentures.

COBALT CHROME BASED DENTURES
Cobalt chrome dentures are a type of partial denture made from a strong and durable alloy that contains cobalt and chromium.
They are lightweight, thin, and have a metal base that is designed to fit snugly against the patient’s remaining natural teeth. Cobalt chrome dentures are a popular option because of their strength, durability, and aesthetic appearance. They are less bulky than traditional acrylic partial dentures, and the metal base is less likely to break or chip. Additionally, cobalt chrome dentures can be customized to match the patient’s natural teeth and are typically more comfortable to wear than other types of partial dentures.
ACRYLIC DENTURES
Acrylic dentures are a type of removable denture that is made from an acrylic resin material.
They are a common option for patients who have lost some or all of their teeth, as they are relatively affordable and easy to customize.
Acrylic dentures can be used to replace a few teeth or an entire arch of teeth, and they are typically held in place with suction or adhesive. While acrylic dentures can be a good option for some patients, they may not be as durable or long-lasting as other types of dentures, and they may require more frequent adjustments or replacement over time.

COMBINATION DENTURES
Valplast and metal are two different materials used for making dentures, and they can also be combined in a single denture.
Valplast is lightweight, durable, and comfortable to wear, and it can be made to match the color of your natural teeth. Valplast dentures are often a good choice for people who are allergic to acrylic or who find traditional, rigid dentures uncomfortable.
Metal dentures, on the other hand, are known for their strength and durability, and they are often used for full dentures or partial dentures that need extra support. Metal dentures are generally more expensive than other types of dentures, but they can be a good investment for people who need a long-lasting solution.
Combination Valplast and metal dentures, as the name suggests, are dentures that are made from both Valplast and metal. Typically, the base of the denture is made from Valplast, which provides flexibility and comfort, while the framework that supports the denture is made from metal, which adds strength and stability. This combination can be a good choice for people who want the best of both worlds – a comfortable, flexible denture that is also strong and durable.

BEFORE & AFTER
Cosmetic Dentistry is the art, science and skill of using various dental processes to protect, restore and enhance a person’s teeth and gums. For patients wanting to correct crooked, cracked, broken, missing, discoloured, worn down or decaying teeth, cosmetic dentistry is an ideal solution.
Regular dental visits are important because they help spot oral health problems early-on when treatment is likely to be simpler and more affordable. They also help prevent many oral problems from developing in the first place.
Visiting your dentist regularly is also important because some diseases or medical conditions have symptoms that can appear in the mouth.
Even if you don’t have any symptoms that may appear obvious to you, you should still see your dentist regularly for check-ups as you may have severe problems that only a dentist can diagnose. Regular visits to the dentist can also help prevent any issues from developing. Keeping your mouth healthy is essential to your overall health.
