Not all patients can afford to proceed with implant restorations or cosmetic makeovers, thats where removable prosthesis come to the rescue. As the population gradually ages, the demand for greater functionality and higher esthetics is increasing. We recognize this and as a result, we are proud to introduce our natural looking complete and partial denture systems.
Restorations
REMOVABLE

Our cast partials in chrome cobalt and advanced systems like Valplast, Duraflex or Flexite provide your patients with esthetically pleasing, strong options. Using the same procedures of treatment planning & designing, your patients can be offered confidence-building smiles using removable dentures in combo cases with crown & bridge milled with attachments to accept removable prosthetics.

Valplast
Removable partial dentures are custom-made appliances that are generally affordable and require only a short time to make. In the past, removable partial dentures were only made with metal alloys and acrylic resins. Today Valplast is available to provide patients with comfortable, lightweight and metal free partial dentures. Valplast partials are also highly esthetic and virtually invisible so nobody has to know that you are missing any of your natural teeth. It was long thought that removable partial dentures had to be rigid to be effective. The innovation of the Valplast Flexible Partial allows the restoration to adapt to the constant movement and flexibility in your mouth. This is the underlying thinking behind Valplasts innovative flexible, removable partial denture. The flexibility, combined with strength and light weight, provides total comfort and great looks! When considering a removable partial, many people find the Valplast Flexible Partial to be the most comfortable option, and the final restoration can be made very quickly! While the cost may be higher than a partial made with visible metal clasps, the results of the flexible partial are beautiful, and patient satisfaction is very high. The Valplast Flexible Partial involves only non-invasive procedures, and gives you confidence in your restoration while talking, eating and most importantly, smiling!
Cast Partials
United Dental's lightweight cast partials are designed for optimal retention and enhanced esthetics. Consistent, accurate and highly uniform, our partial dentures will leave your patients feeling comfortable and confident. Our partial dentures are cast using strong, lightweight and bio-compatible remanium alloy. Wironium contains no nickel or beryllium, and has high modules of elasticity for fracture resistance. United Dental's thin-cast partials allow for greater flexibility, while maintaining shape and retention.
