Clasps for Partial Dentures
Clasps for Partial Dentures: Professional Guide
What Are Dental Clasps?
Clasps are the small metal or flexible parts that hold a partial denture in place. They wrap around teeth to keep the denture stable and secure. We make clasps that fit just right. They help your patients smile with more confidence.
Good clasps make sure the denture stays put when patients eat or talk. Bad clasps can make the denture move or fall out. Our clasps are made to last a long time and feel good.
Types of Clasps We Offer
We make many kinds of clasps for all needs:
- Circumferential Clasps – Wrap all the way around teeth
- RPI Clasps – Rest, Proximal plate, I-bar design
- Bar Clasps – Strong and work well for many teeth
- Akers Clasps – Good for most partial dentures
Each clasp type has its own job. Some work better for front teeth. Others work best for back teeth. We help you pick the right one for each case.
Materials That Make a Difference
Our clasps come in these top-grade materials:
Material | Benefits | Best For |
---|---|---|
Co-Cr Alloy | Strong, lasts long, meets ISO 22674 rules | Most cases, high-stress areas |
Titanium | Light, strong, works with body | Patients with metal allergies |
Valplast® | Looks like gums, bends, no metal | Front teeth, when looks matter |
The right material makes clasps work better and last longer. Metal clasps are strong. Flexible clasps look more like real gums.
Why Retention Force Matters
Retention force means how well clasps hold the denture in place:
- Too loose = denture falls out
- Too tight = hard to put in or take out
We make clasps with just the right grip (0.5–1.2 N). This means:
- Stays in when eating
- Easy to take out for cleaning
- No damage to teeth it holds onto
For older patients or those with less bone, we can adjust the hold to make it just right.
High-Tech Manufacturing
We make clasps using the best methods:
- CAD/CAM milling – Computer makes perfect shapes
- Lost-wax casting – Old but very good way
- 3D printing – New way to make perfect fits
Our lab works with all the big digital systems like 3Shape and Exocad. This means your scans work with our systems with no problems.

Clasp Designs for Every Case
Kennedy Class I
When teeth are missing in the back on both sides, we make clasps that hold well but don’t show.
Kennedy Class II
When teeth are missing on just one side in the back, we balance the clasp design for good hold.
Kennedy Class III
For gaps with teeth on both sides, our clasps blend in and work well.
Kennedy Class IV
When front teeth are missing, we make clasps that don’t show when patients smile.

Common Questions About Clasps
How long do clasps last?
With good care, metal clasps last 5-7 years. Flexible ones may need to be changed sooner.
Can clasps be added to old dentures?
Yes! We can add or fix clasps on dentures you already have.
Do clasps damage natural teeth?
When made right, clasps should not harm teeth. We design them to spread force evenly.
Can you match my lab’s shade guide?
Yes, for flexible clasps we match all big shade systems.
