will valplast dentures fracture

Q. I went to a private dentist because they used Valplast for partial dentures. I have now been told Valplast would be likely to fracture because of my bite. Is this correct? I thought Valplast was much stronger than ordinary acrilic.

A. Valplast is only suitable for certain cases. in an ideal situation you should have some of your teeth as well to help support the denture. Valplast is flexible and deteriorates much faster than normal acrylic. It isn’t stronger it is just diffrent. Valplast acrylic stains with time and because it is a softer material it is not as hard wearing. If your dentist doesn’t think it would be suitable for you then I would take the advise and explore other options
