Hello, I got my Valplast partial last week. It was to be a flexible, no metal partial. I paid 2,200 dollars for it. It has an all metal frame, with very little Valplast that covers metal hooks. I HATE it, the dentist doesn't care, (they were paid months ago, as they pre-billed me with a credit company they signed me up for). I am going to try to dispute the charges. The teeth are too short, the jaw is too narrow, the gumline is off and so thick it is noticable that I have it in, and I gag on the metal frame. Valplast is not suppose to contain metal, (thats what I was told, thats what I paid for), can anyone back me up on that statement so I can print out this page to send along to the credit company? It would help if you wouldn't mind including a contact info of some sort, and your job title if you work in the dental feild, or in a lab that makes them. Thanks so much!

The design process involved in creating a removable partial (denture) is specific to the patient's needs in functional as well as cosmetic dentistry. Every effort is made by the dentist to design a self-cleansing partial denture that preserves the remaining teeth and oral structures. Design modifications to your remaining teeth may some times be required to help equalize these forces. Metal partials are considered stronger structurally, thinner and more hygienic than an acrylic partial. Valplast Flexible Partials are biocompatible nylon thermoplastic material with unique physical properties. What is mentioned in your treatment plan and what you signed for in the informed consent may be matched to put all acrimonies to rest. A visit to the company website www.valplast.com may also help.
