Nervous about dental treatment ?

Visting a Clinical Dental Technician or Dentist for your new dentures can be a daunting or embarrasing prospect for some patients.

That often leads to patients putting off replacing their dentures until either the denture eventually breaks or another dental problem arises that requires professional help.

One of the common concerns is having dentures made that will look completely different to your existing set, again this really is something we can reassure you with, we can provide new dentures that reproduce the appearance of an existing set.

You need not be embarrassed about visiting us, we see and treat plenty of patients requiring  replacement dentures and will make your visit a pleasant and enjoyable experience,encouraging your participation in your treatment.

Depending on the type of denture you have, on avearge your dentures need replacing approximately every 5 to 7 years, with regualar denture assessments during that period.

As a general rule, the longer you leave it to replace your denture, the harder it is for us to reproduce your original biting position and restore facial contours.

We employ a trained Dental Nurse who is experienced with dealing with nervous or apprehensive patients and will put you at ease when you arrive.
