Acrylic Dentures
Since opening in 1999 the business was built on acrylic denture work. Our four registered technicians have a combined 75 years experience in acrylic dentures.
Acrylic dentures are the cheapest option to restore lost teeth. They are bulkier than other options but are easy to adjust and add too. There is a choice of 16 shades for both private and economy teeth and many different mould shapes and sizes. From first impressions it will take at least 3 surgery visits to get the denture to final fit. Due to our fast turnaround time and regional private delivery driver the dentures can be completed within 3 weeks. We can produce a permanent emergency denture of one to three teeth for patients who have unexpectedly lost a tooth within one day!
Chrome Dentures
These dentures are constructed with the same methods as jewellery. They are superior to acrylic dentures as the metal is much stronger and therefore can be much thinner covering less areas in the mouth. The denture is carefully designed to seat round the natural teeth with very thin clasps which retain the denture during chewing. Small rests placed on the surfaces of the natural teeth disperse the forces of chewing evenly throughout the mouth. These dentures can be much more permanant and can often out last the remaining natural teeth in the mouth.
Flexible Dentures
Our flexible material of choice is Myerson Duraflex. It is a state of the art thermoplastic light enough to float in water! It does not absorb water like many flexible materials this allows surface staining to be cleaned more easily. The material is almost unbreakable and its strength allows it to wrap round the natural teeth tightly retaining the denture in the mouth more securely. The reduced size and thickness along with the tighhtness of the denture fit make them ideal for first time denture wearers.

Acetyl Denture Frame (Zirlux)
These dentures follow similar designs to chrome dentures but are totally metal free. The material is a thermoplastic, almost unbreakable and toothh coloured (A1, A2, A3. A3.5). The frames are computer designed and milled from a disc, therefor cuts out many labour intensive denture manufacturing issues. Because acetyl is coloured like natural teeth it is more aesthetic than chrome denture clasps and standard pink flexible clasping. The material is very strong and flexible and can be made very thin. This results in a very comfortable dentute, effortlesly retained in the mouthby near invisible clasps.
Crown & Bridge
Digitalization of dentistry has already happened and the changes are dramatic., especially in crown and bridge. We now can offer a fully digital work flow to our dentists. We can receive any intra oral scan, print models on our Asiga 3D printer, design on our Exocad Software and mill crowns on our newly commisioned DGShape milling machine.
In the surgery intra oral scans are replacing impressions. We receive these scans and design the crowns on our software, print off resin check models and mill the crown all in house.
We can return crowns within two days of receiving the initial scans compared to the traditional two week turnaround.
Orthodontics
We can receive alginate or intra oral scansto produce digital and printed study models. Intra oral scans can be printed with our own 3D printer. AS the models are made from resin the patient can retain them for future replacement essix retainers without even visiting the dentist. As well as ,this we still offer a full range of orthodontic appliances, from fixed to removable appliances.
Denture Repairs
Our business is built around a caring, fast local service. Patients who come directly to us with a broken denture can have it repaired in one hour, ‘while you wait’. There is disabled access and car parking at the door. All repair, additions and rel;ines of dentures collected from the dental practice are completed the same day.
