Valplast® partials are a comfortable and durable alternative to acrylic or metal partials. Read what makes Valplast® partials so beneficial in our guide here.
When replacing missing teeth, patients prioritize solutions that offer comfort, durability, and natural aesthetics. Always looking to be on the cutting edge of dental implants and services, DDS Lab offers such patients the innovative Valplast® partials. Flexible, biocompatible, and visually flawless, these partials tick all the boxes of what patients are looking for and have become a preferred alternative for patients and dental professionals.
If you’d like to learn more about this groundbreaking product, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we’ll take an in-depth look at DDS Lab’s available Valplast® partials, from their key features and benefits to maintenance tips for patients.
DDS Lab crafts Valplast® partials from a unique thermoplastic material that is both flexible and durable. Unlike traditional rigid acrylic or metal-based partials, Valplast® partials adapt naturally to the movement of the mouth, providing better comfort without compromising functionality.
Available in clear, pink, and dark shades, Valplast® allows for natural-looking restorations that seamlessly blend with gum tissue. They also offer a more biocompatible solution for patients who are sensitive to traditional acrylic or metal materials. Whether used as a standalone partial denture or in combination with a cast framework or dental implants, Valplast® provides versatility and reliability in prosthetic dentistry.
Our in-depth look at DDS Lab Valplast® partials will closely examine the key features and benefits of these partials. While Valplast® partials are more comfortable and flexible, they’re also incredibly durable and require no tooth preparation.
The standout feature of Valplast® is its flexibility. The thermoplastic material conforms to the natural movements of the mouth, offering superior comfort to rigid prosthetics. Patients notice less soreness and greater ease in day-to-day wear, making it ideal for long-term use.
Valplast® partials are also an excellent aesthetic solution. Tissue-colored clasps blend seamlessly into the surrounding gums, eliminating the need for unsightly metal components. This is particularly advantageous for patients dealing with anterior tooth loss, where cosmetic appearance is paramount.
Made from a monomer-free, BPA-free material, Valplast® minimizes the risk of allergic reactions or irritation. For patients with sensitivity to traditional acrylics and metals, Valplast® offers a safe and effective alternative.
Despite being lightweight and flexible, Valplast® partials are extremely durable. They resist fractures and standard wear and tear, ensuring a longer lifespan than traditional alternatives. This durability makes them a cost-effective investment for patients seeking long-term solutions.
Valplast® partials require no preparation of adjacent teeth for placement. Their retentive flexibility naturally holds them in place without altering the surrounding natural teeth, providing a minimally invasive solution.
Valplast® partials are certainly an impressive option, but who are the ideal candidates for such removables? Valplast® partials are highly versatile, but they shine in situations where patients cannot tolerate rigid or metal-based partials due to allergies or sensitivities. Additionally, they are ideal for those seeking a minimally invasive prosthetic solution. They are also excellent as transitional prostheses during dental implant healing, offering temporary yet functional support.
Valplast® partials are also suitable for patients who need restorations without altering their natural teeth. For individuals prioritizing aesthetics and comfort over rigidity, these partials stand out as a superior choice.
While Valplast® offers many benefits, it’s not the right solution for every patient. Adjustments to Valplast® partials can be more complex than traditional acrylic dentures, requiring them to be sent back to the lab for precise modifications. Relines and repairs for Valplast® partials also demand expert care at a laboratory with special equipment to work with this unique material.
Valplast® may also be less suitable for patients with severe occlusal imbalances or those who prefer the firmer feel of metal-based dentures. Proper case selection and open discussions with patients are essential to ensure the best possible outcomes and satisfaction with this material.

To maximize the longevity and hygiene of Valplast® partials, providing comprehensive care guidance to patients is essential. To ensure the long-term efficacy of new Valplast® partials, patients must clean them daily, avoid hot water, store them properly, and keep up with regular dentist visits.
Patients should clean their Valplast® appliance daily using a Valplast®-approved cleanser or a non-abrasive cleaner designed specifically for dental appliances. Daily cleaning removes harmful bacteria and prevents the build-up of plaque and odors, keeping the partial fresh, hygienic, and pleasant to wear. Users should rinse the appliance thoroughly after cleaning to remove any residue.
Hot water can distort the thermoplastic material of Valplast® partials, potentially affecting their fit and comfort. Always use lukewarm water when rinsing or cleaning the appliance to avoid any warping or damage. If in doubt, test the water temperature by hand first to ensure it’s safe for use on the partial.
To maintain the shape and flexibility of their Valplast® partials, users should always store them in water whenever they’re not wearing them. If left out to dry, the material can become brittle or lose its fit. Use a clean container filled with plain water or a solution specifically for dental appliances to keep the partials in optimal condition.
Regular check-ins with a dental professional are essential for the long-term success of Valplast® partials. These visits allow dentists to monitor the fit, function, and overall condition of the appliance, ensuring it continues to work effectively over time.
They can also professionally clean and adjust the partial to prevent small issues from turning into bigger problems. Users shouldn’t wait until there’s discomfort—routine maintenance is key to keeping the partial and the user’s oral health in top shape.
Valplast® partials from DDS Lab offer a flexible, natural, and biocompatible solution to restore functionality, comfort, and aesthetics for a wide range of patients. These partials provide both versatility and superior outcomes, making them an excellent choice for dental professionals.
