Why We Use Genuine Valplast® for Our Flexible Dentures

If you've been researching dentures, there's a good chance you've come across the term "flexible dentures."
You may have heard they are more comfortable, more discreet, and easier to wear than some traditional dentures. You may also have noticed that many clinics and laboratories offer what they describe as flexible dentures.

What many patients don't realise, however, is that not all flexible dentures are the same. At The Swissedent Denture Clinic in London, we choose to provide genuine Valplast® flexible dentures because we believe patients deserve proven materials, complete traceability, and the confidence that comes from knowing exactly what is being placed in their mouth.

As a clinic dedicated to denture care, and with our sister company Bremadent Dental Laboratory manufacturing dentures in-house, we have seen first-hand the difference that genuine Valplast can make for the right patient.

In fact, since 2013, we have helped produce thousands of Valplast flexible dentures, continually refining our techniques to maximise comfort, aesthetics, fit, and patient satisfaction.

So why do we choose genuine Valplast?

The answer is simple.

When it comes to something you wear every day, quality matters.

What Exactly Is Valplast?
Valplast is the original flexible denture material that has been used worldwide for decades.
Unlike traditional acrylic dentures, which are rigid, Valplast is made from a specially formulated flexible nylon thermoplastic material.

This flexibility allows the denture to adapt more naturally to the contours of your mouth while remaining durable and lightweight. Many patients describe the feeling as being more comfortable than they expected.

Because the material is flexible, it can often provide excellent retention without the need for visible metal clasps. The result is a denture that is designed to blend naturally into your smile while providing comfort and functionality.

Not All Flexible Dentures Are Genuine Valplast
This is one of the most important things patients should understand. Just as not every sparkling wine is champagne, not every flexible denture is Valplast.

There are various flexible denture materials available throughout the market, and while some may look similar, they do not necessarily offer the same manufacturing standards, quality controls, traceability systems, or guarantees.

When we provide a genuine Valplast denture, patients receive more than just a denture. They receive the reassurance that comes from a globally recognised brand with strict manufacturing protocols and complete traceability.

Complete Traceability for Peace of Mind
One of the reasons we trust Valplast is its exceptional traceability system.
Every genuine Valplast denture can be traced back through the manufacturing process.
This includes:
• The material batch number
• The production lot number
• The laboratory that manufactured the denture
• The specific certification associated with the case

For patients, this level of traceability provides valuable peace of mind. In a world where consumers increasingly want transparency about products and materials, knowing exactly where your denture came from is reassuring. Many products in everyday life cannot offer this level of accountability. Valplast can.

A Lifetime Guarantee from Valplast
Another unique feature of genuine Valplast is the lifetime guarantee provided by the manufacturer. Patients receive a certificate of authenticity that includes a unique serial number linked to their denture. This certificate confirms that genuine Valplast material has been used.

It's similar to receiving a certificate for a luxury watch or a high-quality diamond. It demonstrates authenticity and allows the product to be traced directly back to its source. When patients invest in their smile, they deserve confidence in the materials being used. The Valplast certification system helps provide exactly that.

Every Valplast partial is guaranteed against breakage and fracture of the base material assuming normal use. The guarantee, shown left is valid indefinitely from the date the appliance is placed in service as a clinical dental prosthesis.

The Valplast guarantee applies to material defect of the resin and supplements any guarantee placed by the laboratory for workmanship. Improper fabrications or post-insertion modification of the partial voids the guarantee.

The Valplast guarantee does not apply to the artificial teeth, or the bond between the Valplast base resin and artificial teeth, or colour and fit of the appliance.

Why Experience Matters
Materials are only one part of the equation. The skill of the team designing and manufacturing the denture is equally important.

Bremadent Dental Laboratory is one of the few dental laboratories in the UK that is fully accredited in Valplast flexible denture manufacturing.

This accreditation demonstrates commitment to following recognised manufacturing protocols and maintaining quality standards.

The laboratory is also run by a Clinical Dental Technician, bringing together both technical and clinical understanding of denture construction. This combination is incredibly valuable.

It means the laboratory team understands not only how a denture is manufactured but also how it will function for the patient wearing it. Since 2013, our team has manufactured thousands of Valplast flexible dentures.

Over that time, we have continually refined our techniques to improve comfort, fit, retention, aesthetics, and overall patient experience. Experience teaches lessons that textbooks simply cannot. Every denture made contributes to a greater understanding of what patients need and what makes a denture successful.

Comfort Is Often the First Thing Patients Notice
One of the most common comments we hear from patients receiving a Valplast denture is how comfortable it feels.
The flexibility of the material allows it to engage naturally with the contours of the mouth. Many patients find this creates a comfortable and secure fit.

Because there are no metal clasps visible in many cases, the denture can also provide excellent aesthetics.
Benefits often include:
• Lightweight design
• Flexible construction
• Natural appearance
• Comfortable fit
• Metal-free retention in many cases
• Gum-coloured clasps that blend naturally
• Biocompatible material
• Durable construction

Of course, every patient's mouth is different, and no denture material is suitable for every situation. During your consultation, we discuss whether Valplast is an appropriate option for your individual needs.

Our Quality Control Process
At Bremadent Dental Laboratory, quality control is not simply a final check before a denture leaves the laboratory.
It is built into every stage of the process.

One part of our quality control process is something patients often find interesting. When checking completed dentures, our team intentionally approaches the inspection from the patient's perspective.

Using the models provided, we imagine that we are the patient receiving the denture.
We ask ourselves:
• How would I pick this up?
• How would I insert this into my mouth?
• Would this feel intuitive?
• What would I notice first?
• Would anything concern me?
• Would I feel confident wearing this?

This approach encourages empathy throughout the manufacturing process. It helps us focus on the experience the patient will have when they first receive their denture.

After all, the patient does not see technical specifications. They see comfort, appearance, fit, and confidence. That's what matters most.

The Advantage of a Clinic and Laboratory Working Together
One of the biggest advantages available to our patients is the close relationship between The Swissedent Denture Clinic and Bremadent Dental Laboratory.

Because our clinical and laboratory teams work closely together, communication is direct and efficient.
Questions can be answered quickly. Adjustments can be discussed immediately.

Treatment planning benefits from collaboration between clinicians and technicians. This joined-up approach helps ensure that every denture is designed with the patient's needs firmly at the centre of the process.

Why We Continue to Choose Genuine Valplast
After manufacturing thousands of flexible dentures over many years, we continue to choose genuine Valplast because it offers something increasingly rare in modern healthcare. Consistency.
Patients know exactly what material is being used.

1. They know it is traceable.
   
2. They know it is supported by a recognised manufacturer.
3. They know it comes with certification.
   

Most importantly, they know it is being manufactured by an experienced team operating within a carefully controlled environment.

When you wear a denture every day, these details matter. The material matters. The manufacturing process matters.
The experience of the team matters. And ultimately, your comfort matters.

That's why, when it comes to flexible dentures, we continue to place our trust in genuine Valplast.

At The Swissedent Denture Clinic in London, We offer trusted care and premium quality dentures, with fair and transparent pricing, to help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
