Initial Consult/First Impressions
The initial consult is where the magic of our work begins. This first visit is where we answer your questions about the dentures. Our experienced clinician will talk you through the steps and come up with a treatment plan best suited for you.
After treatment plan has been agreed upon a first impression also known as a primary impression is then taken.
Bites & Final Impressions

After the primary impressions have been taken, special trays are made specifically designed to fit your mouth. The special trays are then used to take a final impression for better accuracy.
In the same visit we also record the bite using a wax bite block to see where your jaws naturally rest against each other. This allows us to set teeth in the following stage.
Teeth/Framework Try In

Teeth/Framework Try In
Fast forward 1 to 2 weeks and we do a test fit of the teeth in wax. This allows us to check the aesthetics and functionality of the teeth.
Major changes can only be done during this stage so it is important to communicate any issues with how they look or feel when biting together.
Denture Insert

When the patient and clinician are happy with the results of the previous stage then the dentures can be taken through to a finish. This means that the dentures are processed - this turns the wax into a final hardened plastic/acrylic form.
The dentures are then inserted into the patient's mouth. At our clinic any follow up appointments within 6 months of insert are free of charge.
