Valplast® is a type of flexible, nylon resin that is developed for the use in flexible removable denture. Valplast®  Flexible Partials were invented in the early 1950’s as an alternative to traditional metal and acrylic removable partial dentures (RPD’s). By using a flexible nylon base, Valplast®  eliminates the need for metal frameworks or acrylic resins for the construction of removable partial dentures.

Porcelain Composite Hybrid veneers from duoPCH

Duo:PCH is a Porcelain Composite Hybrid is an entirely new esthetics category, combining the convenience of a composite build-up with the finishing beauty of Cerinate ® porcelain. Formerly known as Lumineers, they are much more simple and affordable as compared with the conventional porcelain veneers.

Traditional porcelain veneers vs Direct Porcelain Veneer –Duo:PCH ™ (or formerlly known as Lumineers)

DUO-PCH-Logo

Once referred to as Lumineers, Duo:PCH ™ are a special type of veneers that can be applied over teeth to repair small cracks or chips, hide discoloration or correct imperfections. Just like traditional veneers, Duo:PCH ™ can reshape the appearance of your smile. The main difference between Duo:PCH ™ and standard porcelain veneers concerns the material used to create them. Duo:PCH ™ are manufactured from a special porcelain – patented Cerinate porcelain – that is much thinner than the porcelain that is used in the making of traditional veneers. The thickness of Duo:PCH ™ is similar to that of contact lenses. While veneers placement is normally a irreversible procedure, with Duo:PCH ™ the procedure is so less invasive that it may often be reversible.

The main benefit of choosing Duo:PCH ™ is that they require minimal – if any – grinding or shaving so your natural teeth will pretty much be left intact. Traditional veneers require more tooth reduction and many patients are not convinced they want veneers for ever. Duo:PCH ™ are more suitable for patients who only wish to try dental veneers for a short period of time. Patients with serious problems however tend to prefer traditional porcelain veneers. Duo:PCH ™ are a great solution for slightly misaligned, stained, discolored or chipped teeth. Make sure you find an experienced cosmetic dentist who can properly place your Duo:PCH ™. You can easily switch from Duo:PCH ™ to traditional veneers whenever you consider yourself ready for a more permanent solution to your smile problem.
