How to correctly fit the valplast denture in ease?

Q. Re. a Valplast denture. It was fitted a week ago,but very difficult even in the surgery.Ihave tried and tried over the last week to insert the denture and cannot do it. I see the dentist again in 2 days, for bite etc. I suppose. He will think I’m just a wimp but I feel that there is something wrong when after 40 mins. of struggle I can’t insert the Valplast. Every day for 5 days I’ve tried- 20 to 45 mins a time. I already have a denture which took a bit of trying to get used to, so I didn’t expect this to be instant.

A. Valplast are flexible dentures and engage the undercuts around teeth.  They can take some time to get use to their insertion but I am sure your dentist will be able to coach you in the correct way of fitting them around your teeth
