WHO WE ARE

The Master-Touch StoryOur laboratory was founded in 1947 by Mr. Arpad Nagy, a Certified Dental Technician who began his career as a lab tech at the age of 14. As one of the first pioneers of flexible partial denture technology, Arpad's research led to the introduction of Valplast, a Master-Touch exclusive when they were first introduced in the early 1950's. Our decades of experience with Valplast and removable prosthetics in the years since then has resulted in the creation of thousands of smiles for happy dental patients. We are proud of our legacy as the world's first and most experienced Valplast processing laboratory. Today's Master-TouchNow in our sixth decade of providing laboratory services to dentists and labs in New York, the United States and around the world, our dedication is stronger and our services more valuable than ever before. Justin Marks, the grandson of Arpad Nagy, now owns and operates Master-Touch Dental Lab, adding to our reputation and value by bringing the technology and expertise of his grandfather to his third generation dental laboratory. Justin is a leading expert on Valplast and flexible denture technologies and has taught classes and lectured extensively on the subject in more than 40 countries.

VALPLAST

Valplast Flexible PartialsValplast adds a valuable solution to your restorative options. While remaining reasonably price as a removable denture, Valplast will provide outstanding aesthetics typically expected of more costly fixed restorations. Because of their placement in the middle of the spectrum of restorative options, patients desiring excellent aesthetics without the invasiveness or cost of fixed bridges or implants will be very attracted to the Valplast partial. Nobody Has To Know You're Missing TeethValplast Flexible Partials utilize translucent, tissue shaded dento-alveolar clasps to address the requirements of retention and stability. These clasps are designed to blend harmoniously with the patient's natural tissues with minimal coverage of tooth surfaces. Five translucent shades provide a seamless match for virtually every patient. The tissue-shaded clasps provide patients with a high level of aesthetics in removable partial prosthodontics that only Valplast can provide. Excellent FunctionThe tissue-borne Valplast partial acts as a built-in stressbreaker, relieving the fulcrum across the major connector and avoiding excessive force on the abutment teeth. Patients often wear Valplast partials for years longer than a conventional partial with comparatively fewer relines and tooth extractions. DurabilityAll Valplast partials come with a lifetime warranty from Valplast Corporation against breakage and fracture of the base material under normal use. In addition to this, our lab also guarantees the bond between the replacement teeth and the denture base. Such a strong guarantee will give your patients confidence in their appliance and will give you an added level of comfort when prescribing our expertly crafted dental prosthetics. Repair & Reline ServicesWe are pleased to be able to offer repair and reline services for all Valplast appliances. When your patient needs an extraction, Master-Touch can add any number of teeth to an existing Valplast partial. This repair process can be done in one or two days in lab. Valplast partials can also be rebased when the partial's fit no longer provides comfort and proper function or occlusion. Rebases are less involved and less costly than fabricating a new appliance, and take only 2 days in our laboratory. We also offer soft relines to Valplast dentures using a specially formulated heat cured silicone!Valplast is a functional and aesthetic upgrade over metal. Choose MTDL for all your Valplast needs and have your patients smile with confidence!

PRECISE-FIT

PRECISE-FIT by Valplast

The process of fabricating removable partial dentures has always been challenging. Successful treatment with an RPD requires multiple stages from impressions through occlusal registration, try-in, insertion and adjustment over several office visits. There is a particular challenge with flexible partial dentures because they traditionally use trialbaseplates that do not resemble the finalrestoration. With a revolutionary new digitalworkflow application and rapid prototyping, Valplast® appliances can now be fabricated with increased accuracy in less time, with fewer visits to the dentist.Valplast Innovation + Digital PrecisionWith Precise-Fit™ from Valplast, we're giving a whole new meaning to the term 'trial dentures'. Now, Valplast® dentures can be designed and blocked-out from any digital scan or .stl file and output to a unique printed base that can be tried into the patients mouth. With a Precise-Fit™ baseplate from Valplast, the dentist can evaluate not only the jaw relation and tooth arrangement, but also preview the fit of the final restoration beforeprocessing, saving valuable time and money and reducing the need for adjustments.Flexible, Printed Baseplates for Trial PlacementPrecise-Fit™ printed baseplates replace traditional baseplates from wax, vacuum-formed and lightcured materials that are often very thick and bulky. Precise-Fit™ printed baseplates provide an accurate representation of what the final Valplast® appliance will look and feel like. Denture teethare then set in wax onto the printed Precise-Fit™ baseplate and sent to the dentist for trialplacement.During the evaluation process the dentist willevaluate the tooth arrangement and shade,and will also evaluate the fit and design of theValplast® partial. If adjustments are needed,the Precise-Fit™ baseplate may be relievedchairside using a standard carbide bur. Any adjustments made to the baseplate will be taken into account when the final appliance is processed which reduces adjustments to the finished Valplast® denture.Precision in the Dental ClinicThere are many factors that can contribute to a poor-fitting RPD on the model and in the patients mouth. The same factors affect the process of Valplast® partials as well. Improperly designed retention, excessive thickness and lack of contouring around flexible junction points can create these challenges when fitting Valplast® partials, sometimes leading to excessive adjustments by the clinician or complete remakes.It is often reported that the most desirable improvement amongst dentists is to make Valplast® easier to adjust. Valplast has chosen to address this demand by making Valplast® partials more precise, needing lessadjustment, without compromising any of the desirable properties of the Valplast® resin. Adjustments can be made during the trial stage, and those adjustments will be reflected in the final denture. If a new impression is needed, the clinician can be made aware of this during the trial stage rather than waitinguntil the final denture is complete. The technician and clinician will both experience the time savings and improved accuracy with Precise-Fit™ from Valplast resulting in increased patient satisfaction, reduced costs, and a higher-value denture.Master-Touch is the first Valplast lab worldwide to use Precise-Fit for Valplast restorations. Contact us today to learn more about how Precise-Fit can benefit your practice and your Valplast patients!

Precise-Fit from Valplast is the latest in digital CAD/CAM technology for removable restorative dentistry. Master-Touch is the first lab to use Precise-Fit and helped develop the technology for Valplast International Corp. Upgrade to Precise-Fit for your Valplast today to improve the fit of your Valplast restorations and save chair time!

Valplast Onlay Technique

Valplast NightguardValplast is available in a translucent unpigmented option for the fabrication of nightguards and bruxism appliances, combining the same strength and durabiity you expect from Valplast with a natural appearance over tooth surfaces. Valplast Gum VeneerValplast can also be fabricated into cosmetic "gum veneers" to mask areas of periodontal recession, restoring cosmetics and architecture to many periodontally compromised patients. Pediatric CasesFor children with tooth loss stemming from ectodermal dysplasia or trauma, temporary and long term prosthetics can be fabricated from Valplast, providing them with a durable resin that can resist breakage and fracture. Valplast Onlay TechniqueFor rare situations when acrylic teeth cannot be tolerated by a dental patient, we can fabricate unpigmented Valplast into denture teeth and onlay it onto a translucent pink denture base. The result is an acrylic free denture with exceptional aesthetics for cases when other restorative materials are not infdicated.
