Flexible Partial Dentures.
Has anyone experience of these?

“New flexible partials are made from lightweight, nylon-based materials that seamlessly blend with your natural gums.Comfort & Grip: They are thinner, adapt to irregular gum contours, and don't require metal wires.”
Thanks

I have one ,if I’ve got to have a denture then this is the best one for me. I had two teeth on a plate that went over the roof of my mouth. I couldn’t speak or eat but this at least feels a bit more normal.

I have had Valplast flexible partial dentures for years and find them wonderful compared to standard dentures. They are so light and comfortable you forget they are there. They are expensive though, and adding an additional tooth to the denture, if required, is costly, but in my opinion if you can afford them they are well worth the cost for the omfort they provide.
