Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / March 2007Valplast Partial Cost
I have a question regarding the price quoted for a Valplast upper partial that will replace all but the front 8 teeth. She has no work to be done to these other teeth and I'm wondering if the $1700.00 quoted to her is about average for this type of work. >I have a question regarding the price quoted for a Valplast upper > partial that will replace all but the front 8 teeth.

John That is in the ball park for many regions. Where are you?

A little high in Hooterville, but probably not for metro areas or on the coasts. I've made several Valplast partials over the years, and I'm not a big fan. They are hard to adjust/polish and tend to stain over time. Some patients really like them though....

These cannot be modified nor repaired. >> I have a question regarding the price quoted for a Valplast upper >> partial that will replace all but the front 8 teeth.

Otherwise, my lab carbide just bounces off.

If a tooth comes off the appliance it cannot be put back on. So my lab tech tells me. >>>> I have a question regarding the price quoted for a Valplast upper >>>> partial that will replace all but the front 8 teeth.

However, I've had patients come in with them--some of the patients love them. Of course it's pretty amazing what some patients like and don't like. Also interesting--the pretty orangey color the base of these Valplast-type partials turn in a few years. Steve SignatureMark & Steven Bornfeld DDS http://www.dentaltwins.com Brooklyn, NY 718-258-5001 :))) Problems is what kind of material are use: very bad quality and easy to work with like sunflex, TCS , flexident - there are mixed Its not nylon in 100% Resisiant of chemical materials called valplast or Nylon 110N is very long regards kris-polanowski DDS >>>>> I have a question regarding the price quoted for a Valplast upper >>>>> partial that will replace all but the front 8 teeth.

Thanks Krzysztof, maybe my lab tech just doesn't want to mess with it. >Valplast is repairable or modify without problems > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> >> These cannot be modified nor repaired. Becouse Its a lot materials witch are not orginal valplast. valplast is a pure NYLON N110 repaiable and relinable. Of course There is not good in every cases but The manufacturer is giving warrenty of breaking. The suggestion is to ask for certificates with this warrenty there should be put number of tubes material come from . regards kris-poalnowski DDS > Thanks Krzysztof, maybe my lab tech just doesn't want to mess with it. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >>> >>> These cannot be modified nor repaired.
