We are proud to offer you an exciting flexible partial denture with the ultimate in comfort, aesthetics and durability. The Vertex Thermosens system, exclusive to our Tweed Heads denture clinic located on the Gold Coast border, is a breakthrough for dental technology, offering stronger, more durable and cost effective partial dentures.
The Vertex Thermosens partial denture has no metal clasps, as the base and clasps are made as one from the same base material. Even better, you needn’t be concerned about this denture breaking if dropped. Not only is this the first denture to be monomer and acrylic free - perfect for those with sensitivity problems - it also has opaque, gum coloured aesthetics as acrylic dentures, but with fewer flaws.
At Northern Rivers Denture Clinic, flexible dentures are only available as partial dentures, not as full dentures. Like other partial dentures, flexible partial dentures are a removeable replacement for natural teeth that are missing due to accident, poor health or disease, but possessing different qualities than those of acrylic partial dentures. While known as ‘flexible dentures’, these dentures are not flexible in the same sense as being ‘bendable’. Rather, they are less rigid than dentures composed of conventional materials. Nor is ‘soft flexible denture’ an accurate description, but simply relative to the contrasting rigid, non-flexible metal or acrylic dentures which have a less soft feel to them.
Designed to replace up to approximately 6 missing teeth, a flexible partial denture restores your smile, allowing you to eat and speak as you did before you lost your natural teeth. However, not all flexible dentures are equal, nor are they the answer to all patients’ partial denture needs.

Each denture type offers unique advantages depending on your specific needs. Chrome cobalt partial dentures are exceptionally durable, thin, and provide excellent long-term function - they're considered the gold standard for many patients. Acrylic partial dentures are cost-effective, easily adjustable, and simple to reline or add teeth to as your needs change.
Flexible dentures offer their own distinct benefits, particularly for patients seeking metal-free aesthetics or those with sensitivities to traditional materials. Our ThermoSens flexible dentures provide virtually invisible clasps, monomer-free construction, and 15 gum colour options for natural-looking results.

Experience the difference firsthand! This video demonstrates the remarkable flexibility and durability that makes ThermoSens technology superior to traditional denture materials. Watch as our ThermoSens denture bends without breaking - something conventional rigid dentures simply cannot do.
ThermoSens flexible dentures offer compelling advantages including superior comfort with no metal clasps, excellent aesthetics with 15 colour options and superior colour stability, plus outstanding durability with virtually unbreakable construction. The monomer and acrylic-free material is ideal for patients with sensitivities, while the non-porous surface stays more hygienic and stain-resistant than traditional alternatives.
ThermoSens flexible dentures work best for patients missing 1-6 teeth who want a non-surgical tooth replacement option. If all your teeth are missing on either the top or bottom jaw, flexible partial dentures are not suitable. In this case, we recommend a full acrylic denture instead. Northern Rivers Denture Clinic does not recommend using flexible denture materials for full dentures, as the flexible advantage is greatly diminished and other issues can arise. While ThermoSens dentures can be relined, this process uses acrylic material.
Our dental prosthetist will assess your suitability and explain all your options during your free 30-minute consultation. We'll provide honest guidance on whether ThermoSens flexible dentures, traditional dentures, or other solutions best meet your needs.
Flexible dentures offer several significant advantages over traditional rigid dentures for many patients. The innovative nylon-based materials used in our Tweed Heads flexible partial dentures provide greater comfort by adapting naturally to the contours of your mouth while chewing and speaking. Without metal clasps, they're more aesthetically pleasing, with no visible metal when you smile. The flexible nature reduces pressure points and gum irritation that can sometimes occur with rigid dentures.
However, "better" depends on your specific dental situation. Traditional acrylic or metal dentures may be more suitable for full-mouth restorations or when maximum chewing strength is required. For partial tooth replacement with emphasis on comfort and aesthetics, flexible partial dentures often provide superior results. During your consultation at Northern Rivers Denture Clinic, our experienced prosthetists will assess your unique needs, considering factors like the number of missing teeth, jaw bone structure, and lifestyle requirements to determine the ideal solution for you.
With proper care and maintenance, flexible partial dentures using the Vertex ThermoSens system typically last 3-5 years. While this lifespan is shorter than traditional acrylic dentures, many patients find the superior comfort and aesthetics of flexible dentures worth the trade-off.
Several factors influence longevity, including your daily care routine, changes in oral structure, and how frequently you wear your dentures. Regular professional check-ups at our clinic—we recommend every 6-12 months—allow us to identify and address minor issues before they affect fit or function. During these appointments, we can make adjustments to accommodate natural changes in your gum tissue and bone structure that occur over time.
Proper daily cleaning, avoiding exposure to high temperatures, and removing your flexible dentures during sleep can all contribute to maximising their functional lifespan. With optimal care and regular professional maintenance, some patients may extend the usable life of their ThermoSens flexible dentures toward the upper end of the typical range.
Our ThermoSens flexible partial dentures start from $1,550, with the exact cost depending on the number of teeth required and treatment complexity. We offer flexible payment options including $100/fortnight interest-free plans through National Dental Plan, plus Afterpay, Humm, and ZipMoney. The investment includes our exclusive ThermoSens technology, free consultation, professional fitting, and follow-up care. Book a free consultation for your personalised quote.
Yes, flexible partial dentures are significantly more comfortable than traditional rigid dentures. ThermoSens flexible dentures are lightweight, have no metal clasps that can irritate gums, and the flexible material adapts better to your mouth's natural movements. The monomer-free construction also eliminates potential allergic reactions that some patients experience with conventional dentures. Most patients report improved comfort within days of receiving their ThermoSens dentures.
ThermoSens technology offers five key advantages over other flexible denture materials: it's monomer and acrylic-free (reducing allergies), non-porous (more hygienic), offers 15 colour options with superior colour stability, can be relined and repaired, and is virtually unbreakable. As the exclusive ThermoSens provider in Northern Rivers, Tweed Coast and Gold Coast, we're the only clinic offering this advanced technology locally. The comparison shows ThermoSens superior in 5 out of 6 categories compared to standard Valplast flexible dentures.
