Bayflex™ Partial Options
Bayflex™ Basic
Bayflex™ Basic partials are fabricated using advanced thermoplastic nylon resin to provide a lightweight, durable, and comfortable flexible partial denture. Strategically positioned flexible clasps are designed to blend with adjacent teeth and surrounding tissue, supporting improved esthetic integration while maintaining retention.
Bayflex™ Hybrid
Bayflex™ Hybrid partial dentures combine a metal framework with Bayflex™ flexible material to provide additional support in cases requiring increased stability. This design is indicated for patients missing all posterior teeth with no molar available for clasping. Flexible clasping is used in esthetic zones to eliminate visible metal clasps while maintaining functional retention.
Bayflex™ Single Tooth
Bayflex™ Single Tooth partials are indicated as interim restorations and implant healing appliances. The injection molding fabrication process allows for a precise, seamless adaptation to surrounding tissue, supporting patient comfort and esthetic integration during transitional treatment phases.
Bayflex™ Clearframe
Bayflex™ Clearframe is a metal free upgrade to traditional acrylic and metal removable appliances. It combines the strength and durability of advanced nylon materials with the simplicity of acrylic design, resulting in a stable, long lasting appliance with superior esthetics.
The clear shade allows for designs with near complete transparency, making Clearframe an ideal option when minimizing visibility is a clinical priority.
- Secure metal free frame for enhanced strength and esthetics
- Lightweight, durable, and stain resistant
- Modern fit designed for long term use
- Monomer free and hypoallergenic
- Well suited for patients with monomer sensitivities

Frequently Asked Questions
What is BAYFLEX?
BAYFLEX is a flexible partial denture system made by Bayshore Dental Studio, a full-service dental laboratory. BAYFLEX partials are made from a monomer free, BPA free nylon thermoplastic with no visible metal clasps, and every BAYFLEX partial can be rebased, repaired, and have teeth or clasps added without a remake. Options include BAYFLEX Basic, BAYFLEX Hybrid, BAYFLEX Single Tooth, and BAYFLEX Clearframe. See our guide on which BAYFLEX option to prescribe.
Can teeth be added to an existing BAYFLEX partial?
Yes. If the patient loses another tooth, the Bayshore Dental Studio lab can add a prosthetic tooth or a flexible clasp to the existing BAYFLEX partial, so the appliance does not need to be remade.
Is BAYFLEX appropriate for long term use?
Yes. BAYFLEX is designed for long term clinical use. Because the Bayshore Dental Studio lab can rebase a BAYFLEX partial as tissue changes, repair damaged areas, and add teeth or clasps, the partial can be serviced over time instead of replaced.
Is BAYFLEX appropriate for patients with material sensitivities?
Yes. BAYFLEX is made from a monomer free, BPA free, hypoallergenic nylon thermoplastic with no metal in the base, which makes it a good fit for patients with acrylic monomer or metal sensitivities. BAYFLEX Clearframe is also well suited for patients with monomer sensitivities.
What is a flexible partial denture?
A flexible partial denture is a removable partial made from a lightweight, biocompatible thermoplastic instead of rigid acrylic and metal. The flexible base and tooth-colored clasps adapt to the tissue for a comfortable, metal-free, esthetic result.
How long do flexible partial dentures last?
With proper care, a flexible partial is designed for long-term clinical use. Because Bayflex partials can be rebased, repaired, and added to, their serviceable life can be extended rather than requiring a full remake.
What are the advantages of a flexible partial over a cast metal partial?
Flexible partials eliminate visible metal clasps, are lighter and thinner, and adapt to tissue for improved comfort. The metal-free, monomer-free composition also suits patients with acrylic or metal sensitivities. Cast metal partials remain an option where maximum rigidity is required. For a full side-by-side comparison, see our guide to flexible vs. metal partial dentures.
Are flexible partial dentures comfortable for patients?
Yes. The flexible base adapts to the contours of the mouth and eliminates the bulk and metal clasps of conventional partials, which improves comfort and patient compliance.
How is Bayflex™ different from other flexible partial dentures?
Bayflex™ from Bayshore Dental Studio is built to be serviced, not replaced. The partial can be rebased, repaired, and have prosthetic teeth or flexible clasps added in the lab as the patient's mouth changes, so tissue changes or a lost tooth do not force a remake. The material is monomer free and BPA free, and Bayflex™ is recommended by 93 percent of surveyed clinicians. See our guide on how to choose a flexible partial denture lab.
Can flexible partial dentures be relined or rebased?
Many flexible partials are difficult to reline, adjust, or add to, which is one reason some practices avoid them. BAYFLEX by Bayshore Dental Studio is built to be serviced. The lab can rebase a BAYFLEX partial as the ridge changes, repair damaged areas, and add prosthetic teeth or flexible clasps, so tissue changes or a lost tooth do not require a new partial. See 8 questions dentists ask about flexible partials.
Why do some dentists avoid flexible partial dentures?
The most common concerns are that flexible partials can be hard to adjust chairside and hard to reline or add to later. BAYFLEX from Bayshore Dental Studio addresses both. Bayshore provides a BAYFLEX adjustment guide for chairside adjustments and polishing, and every BAYFLEX partial can be rebased, repaired, and have teeth or clasps added in the lab.
How do you adjust a BAYFLEX partial chairside?
Flexible partials use different adjustment techniques than acrylic or cast metal. The BAYFLEX adjustment guide from Bayshore Dental Studio walks through chairside adjustments and polishing step by step. When a case needs more than a chairside adjustment, such as a rebase, a repair, or an added tooth, send the BAYFLEX partial back to the lab.
Can I send a digital scan for a BAYFLEX partial?
Yes. Bayshore Dental Studio accepts BAYFLEX cases from any open intraoral scanner, including the IntelliScan 3D, as well as traditional impressions. Capture the upper and lower arches with a bite registration at the first appointment, and seat the BAYFLEX partial at the second.
Do flexible partial dentures look natural?
Yes. BAYFLEX uses tissue colored flexible clasps instead of visible metal clasps, and it comes in five gingival tissue shades: Crystal, Light Pink, Pink, Medium Meharry, and Dark Meharry. Prosthetic teeth and clasps can be matched in a wide range of shades, so a BAYFLEX partial blends with the patient's teeth and tissue.
