Our Services
Each patient is given the best care possible thanks to the efforts of our Qualified Clinical Dental Technicians and the use of state-of-the-art tools and technology. The dedication with which we approach providing complete patient care and satisfaction has always set us apart from our competitors. Suitability, timelines, risks, costs, and outcomes vary and will be discussed during consultation.
Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth and rest on the gum tissue. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain and are designed to fill the gaps while connecting to the existing dentition. Our Clinical Dental Technician will assess which option suits your individual situation during a consultation.
Timeframes vary depending on the type of denture and the complexity of your case. We will discuss this with you during your initial appointment so you have a clear understanding of the process from the start.
A denture reline involves resurfacing the fitting surface of your existing denture to improve how it sits against the gum. Over time, the shape of the gum and bone can change, which may cause a denture to feel loose or uncomfortable. A reline can help restore a more comfortable fit without replacing the entire denture.
In many cases, yes. At our Lower Hutt clinic, we provide denture repair services for cracks, fractures, and broken teeth on existing dentures. The suitability of a repair will depend on the extent of the damage, which we will assess at the time of your appointment.
A night guard is a custom-fitted oral appliance worn during sleep. It is commonly recommended for people who clench or grind their teeth at night, a condition known as bruxism. Whether a night guard is appropriate for you will be discussed based on your individual dental situation during your consultation with our Clinical Dental Technician.
We recommend cleaning your dentures daily using a soft brush and a denture-specific cleaning product. They should be stored in water or a denture-soaking solution when not being worn. Please avoid using hot water, as this can affect the shape of the denture. Our Clinical Dental Technician will provide personalised care guidance tailored to your specific denture type and needs at your appointment.
At our Lower Hutt clinic, we fabricate dentures with careful attention to shade, shape, and proportion. Our aim is to produce a result that looks appropriate and comfortable for each individual patient. Outcomes vary depending on your circumstances, and we will discuss this openly with you during the consultation process.
We generally recommend that your dentures are reviewed periodically, as the fit can change over time due to natural changes in the gum and bone. Our Clinical Dental Technician will advise you on the appropriate review schedule for your specific situation during your appointment.
