Frequently Asked Question
1. What is the difference between Valplast (Flexible) and Acrylic Dentures?
Valplast (Flexible) Dentures are made from a biocompatible nylon material, making them lightweight, flexible, and comfortable with no need for metal clasps. They adapt to the natural movement of the mouth and are resistant to breakage.
Acrylic Dentures, on the other hand, are rigid and more traditional. They are durable, cost-effective, and can be easily repaired or relined when needed.
2. What are the benefits of Cobalt-Chromium (CoCr) and Titanium frameworks?
Cobalt-Chromium (CoCr) – Offers high strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion while providing a thinner, more comfortable fit compared to acrylic-based alternatives.
Titanium Frameworks – Lighter than CoCr but equally strong and highly biocompatible, making it ideal for patients with metal sensitivities.
3. How long does it take to receive my dentures or framework?
Turnaround times vary based on the product:
- Flexible (Valplast) Dentures: 7-10 business days
- CoCr Frameworks: 7-10 business days
- Titanium Frameworks: 12-15 business days
- Hard Acrylic Dentures: 2-7 business days
- Digital Dentures: 5-7 business days
- Denture Relines: 1-2 business days
- Denture Repairs: Same-day or next business day
We also offer express services for urgent cases.
4. What is a digital denture, and how is it different from traditional dentures?
A digital denture is created using CAD/CAM technology, ensuring a precise fit, superior aesthetics, and faster turnaround compared to conventional methods. Because it is digitally designed, it allows for easy reproduction if a replacement is needed.
5. Can a patient wear Valplast dentures if they have allergies or sensitivities?
Yes! Valplast is hypoallergenic and metal-free, making it an excellent choice for patients with metal sensitivities.
6. Can metal frameworks be added to an existing denture?
No, metal frameworks must be designed and cast as part of the initial fabrication. If a patient requires more support, a new CoCr or titanium framework would need to be made.
7. What is a denture reline, and when is it needed?
A denture reline is the process of adjusting the internal surface of a denture to better fit the patient’s changing gum structure. Over time, gums and bones shrink, making dentures loose. Relines help restore a secure and comfortable fit.
8. Can broken dentures be repaired?
Yes! Most broken dentures, including cracked acrylic bases and missing teeth, can be repaired quickly.
9. How should patients care for their dentures?
Remove and rinse after meals to remove food debris.
Clean daily with a non-abrasive denture cleaner and a soft brush.
Soak overnight in a denture solution to maintain moisture.
Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material.
Visit the dentist regularly to check for proper fit and function.

Flexible Dentures (Valplast®)
Valplast dentures offer a lightweight, flexible, and irritation-free solution for partial tooth loss. Made from biocompatible nylon, they blend naturally with gums, resist breakage, and are metal-free—ideal for patients with sensitivities or allergies.
Metal Frameworks for Partial Dentures
Cobalt-Chromium (CoCr) and Titanium frameworks offer unmatched strength and durability for long-term partial denture support, with titanium providing a lighter yet sturdy alternative for enhanced comfort. Digitally designed for a precise fit, these biocompatible and corrosion-resistant materials ensure exceptional accuracy, retention, and patient safety.
Traditional Dentures
Dentapia Lab’s 100% Australian-Made Full & Partial Acrylic Dentures offer a durable and cost-effective solution, custom-crafted for precise fit and stability. Designed for superior retention and occlusion, they are easily adjustable for repairs and relines, ensuring long-term usability and comfort.
Digital Dentures
With CAD/CAM precision, each restoration is crafted to ensure an optimal fit, superior function, and natural esthetics. The efficiency of digital workflows significantly reduces processing time, allowing for faster turnaround and prompt delivery. By eliminating human error, this technology guarantees consistent quality and accuracy, ensuring reproducible results with every case. Ultimately, patients benefit from a smoother experience, as the precise fit minimizes the need for multiple adjustments, enhancing their comfort and satisfaction.
