Some patients complain that when they\nsmile, the clasp shines in the light and makes it evident that they are wearing\na partial denture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a minimal charge, your dentist can sandblast the clasp\nand give it a matte finish to prevent it from reflecting in the light. A dental\nlab can also do it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Your Dentist Can\u2019t Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The metal clasp needs to remain flexible around your teeth.\nYour dentist is unable to bond anything to it that might conceal its color. The\nclasp can weaken or break in the process of trying to conceal it. And it the\nloss of flexibility will increase the discomfort around your tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Affordable Alternative for Your Partial Denture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"383\" height=\"272\" src=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/affordable-dentistry-plano-valplast-partial.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of a valplast partial denture - an affordable alternative to a metal-clasped partial.\" class=\"wp-image-1236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/affordable-dentistry-plano-valplast-partial.jpg 383w, https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/affordable-dentistry-plano-valplast-partial-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 383px) 100vw, 383px\" \/><figcaption>An affordable alternative to a metal clasp on your partial denture<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern removable partial dentures have plastic clear or\ngum-colored claps that blend with your gums.
