DuraFlex Flexible Partial Dentures
Paget Denture Clinic is proud to be using the newest flexible alternative to acrylic dentures on the market, DuraFlex Flexible Partials. DuraFlex provides several new and unique benefits to you.
DuraFlex’s most distinguishing benefit derives from its material makeup, as it is not a nylon base but rather a polyolefin thermoplastic polymer. This material has been used in the medical field for years because of its inert, durable and resistant quality to many chemical solvents, bases and acids. With a water resorption rate that is ten times lower than nylon, DuraFlex is extremely resistant to stain and odors, making it our most durable and color stable flexible solution. In addition, polyolefins are much easier to adjust and polish, and will not gum up when adjusting, making DuraFlex our most convenient and dependable material we can provide to you.
Preparation/Impression
DuraFlex provides a natural, snap-fit for retention. No tooth or tissue preparation is required.
Shade Selection
DuraFlex comes in three shades – tissue tone pink (standard) produced to remain translucent after processing, a meharry tone and a medium blend.
