Flexible Partial Dentures (Valplast) in Preston, VIC
Flexible partial dentures (commonly known by the trusted brand Valplast®) represent a major advancement in removable prosthodontics. Unlike rigid acrylic or metal-framed partials, flexible dentures are crafted from a biocompatible thermoplastic nylon resin. This material allows the appliance to adapt dynamically to the natural contours and minor movements of your mouth, making them remarkably comfortable to wear from day one.
Why Choose Thermoplastic Valplast Nylon?
Valplast thermoplastic nylon is engineered for elasticity and durability. Because it contains no acrylic monomers, it is ideal for patients with metal allergies or tissue sensitivities. The material is so resilient that it comes with a manufacturer lifetime fracture guarantee against breakage under normal usage.

Common Patient Issues
Traditional partial dentures often feature visible metal clasps that wrap around existing teeth, or thick rigid acrylic bases that feel heavy and bulky. For many patients, metal clasps cause aesthetic anxiety when smiling, and rigid plates can rub against delicate oral tissue, creating painful pressure spots.
How Dr Dragan Flajnik Fixes It
At Preston Dentures, Dental Prosthetist Dr Dragan Flajnik custom crafts flexible Valplast partials that eliminate metal entirely. We match the shade of the tissue-coloured resin directly to your natural gums. The flexible clasps sit snugly and invisibly below the gumline, ensuring a secure, discreet fit that restored function without compromising your appearance.
