Custom-Made Dentures
Our custom-made full dentures restore function and aesthetics for complete tooth loss. Using premium acrylic materials, we create natural-looking replacements that adapt to jawbone changes over time. Each denture undergoes a wax try-in phase for fit and colour adjustments before final processing. With over 40 years of experience, we ensure optimal comfort and durability through precise impressions and personalised design.
Denture Repairs
We offer prompt repairs for cracked or damaged dentures using high-quality materials. Our same-day service minimises disruption to daily life while maintaining structural integrity. Repairs address fractures from accidental drops or wear-related damage, restoring functionality without compromising comfort. Regular maintenance extends denture lifespan and prevents minor issues from becoming major problems.
Denture Relines
Relines improve fit as mouth contours change over time. We reshape the denture base to match current gum contours, enhancing comfort and stability. This cost-effective solution addresses loosening caused by bone resorption or weight changes. Relines are typically required every 4-6 months during healing periods or every 1-2 years for long-term wearers to maintain optimal function.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures provide instant tooth replacement post-extraction. We create pre-extraction dentures for seamless transition, allowing patients to maintain appearance and function during healing. These temporary solutions require relines as gums reshape during recovery. Emergency dentures address unexpected tooth loss from trauma, offering immediate aesthetic and functional restoration while planning permanent solutions.
Custom Mouthguards
Hand-crafted mouthguards protect teeth during sports activities. Custom-fitting ensures superior protection against impacts, reducing risks of dental trauma and concussions. We create guards for adults and children across various sports, using durable materials that balance comfort with shock absorption. Unlike generic guards, our custom solutions maintain secure fit during high-intensity activities while preserving speech clarity and breathing ease.

Questions
What are dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances replacing missing teeth. Complete dentures use acrylic for full tooth loss, while partials use acrylic or chrome to replace individual teeth.
Will dentures look natural?
Modern dentures mimic natural teeth through advanced materials and custom colour matching. Our wax try-in process ensures aesthetics meet your expectations before final production.
What are immediate dentures?
Immediate dentures are pre-made replacements placed directly after extractions. They allow immediate function but require relines as gums heal and reshape over 4-6 months.
How do I clean dentures?
Clean with soap/water or denture cream. Avoid toothpaste as it scratches surfaces. Use cleaning tablets for hygiene. Remove nightly to let gums rest.
How often should dentures be replaced?
Replace every 5-7 years. Annual check-ups monitor fit changes. Relines maintain comfort between replacements as mouth contours naturally change over time.
What happens during a consultation?
Chris assesses your oral health, discusses options, and creates a custom treatment plan. You'll learn about materials, processes, and aftercare to make informed decisions.

Am very happy with my new dentures. Chris is a wonderful dental technician, he is very competent, and he did a wonderful job identifying the problems I had, and then making me a new set of teeth that are just perfect, both in looks and in functionality. I couldnt be more pleased with the outcome, and would highly recommend Chris Hewitson to anyone wanting new dentures.
