Flexible dentures that feel like you.
Thermoplastic dentures are light, flexible and free of metal clasps. They give you back a natural-looking smile and the comfort to eat, talk and laugh freely.
Why flexible
Comfort you'll notice from the first bite.
Thermoplastic nylon bends with your mouth instead of fighting it. The clasps are gum-colored and disappear into your smile.
No metal
Clasps blend in with your gums, so nobody notices them.
Lightweight
Thinner and lighter than conventional acrylic plates.
Flexible
They bend slightly instead of cracking, so they're harder to break.
Comfortable
A snug fit means fewer sore spots and more confident chewing.

Impressions
We take precise impressions of your mouth and choose a shade that matches your natural teeth and gums.

You try on your new dentures. We check the fit, bite and look, and fine-tune anything that doesn't feel right.
Aftercare
You go home smiling, with care instructions and a follow-up check to make sure everything stays comfortable.
Care tips
Keep your smile looking new.
A few simple habits help flexible dentures stay clean, comfortable and long-lasting.
- Rinse your dentures after every meal to remove food particles.
- Brush daily with a soft brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser. Regular toothpaste can scratch them.
- Soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution or plain water.
- Avoid hot or boiling water, which can warp the material.
- Keep them moist when you're not wearing them so they don't dry out.
- Visit us for regular check-ups so we can keep the fit just right.
