If you’ve met with a Gold Coast dental prosthetist to discuss your denture options or have researched dentures, you would have heard of Valplast dentures. Valplast dentures are among the most popular today due to their many benefits.
Last month, we took a deep dive into partial dentures, and today, we take things one step further by examining Valplast dentures.
So continue reading as we take a closer look at Valplast dentures on the Gold Coast and everything you need to know about them.
What are Valplast dentures, and what are they made of?
If you caught last month’s post on partial dentures, you’d know that flexible partial dentures are one of the three types available on the Gold Coast, along with metal partial dentures and acrylic partial dentures.
Valplast dentures are a type of flexible dentures made specifically from Valplast, a flexible, lightweight plastic material. Accordingly, they are more comfortable to wear and allow a more natural mouth movement than their counterparts.
Valplast dentures on the Gold Coast are available in two styles: removable and fixed. The removable style is held in place by suction, while the fixed style is bonded to the teeth.
How long do Valplast dentures last?
One of the most significant benefits of Valplast dentures on the Gold Coast is their longevity and warranty.
Dentures made from genuine Valplast® resin come with a Certificate of Authenticity and an unprecedented lifetime warranty against breakage. So, if your partial denture breaks, you can replace it for free.
However, this warranty is only against the resin and not the complete denture. So, while you can be confident that the resin component will stand the test of time, you should expect about a 20-year lifespan on your complete denture. That is, of course, providing you clean and maintain your denture properly.
What is the process of getting Valplast dentures fitted?
Getting fitted for Valplast dentures on the Gold Coast is relatively straightforward, much the same as getting a full denture fitted.
Upon your initial consultation, your dental prosthetist will take impressions of your teeth to create a model of your mouth. Next, they will use this model to design your dentures.
Once the dentures have been made, you will come in for a fitting. During the fitting, your dentist will ensure that the dentures fit comfortably and securely. They may also make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
Finally, you will be given instructions on how to care for your new dentures. With proper care, your Valplast dentures should be an investment that can last for many years.
How much do Valplast dentures cost?
How much do Valplast dentures cost? Well, the price of Valplast dentures will vary depending on the type of denture you need, the number of teeth replaced, and your case’s complexity. The cost will also differ depending on the denture clinic you go to.
In general, however, Valplast dentures on the Gold Coast tend to be more expensive than conventional dentures. This is because they are custom-made and require a specialised fitting process.
A rough pricing guide would be between $800 and $1500 per arch. The arch is the dental term for either the upper or lower teeth. So, if you need dentures for both the top and bottom teeth, you’re looking at between $1600 and $3000.
