Implant Retained Restoration

Full or partial restoration, either fixed (screw retained, not removable and used for full arch prosthesis) or removeable (attachments in housings that clip onto implants. Easy to clean and service.).

We do all fixed and removeable implant retained prosthesis. We work closely together with specialists in this field and have extensive experience in manufacturing prosthesis that replace all / part of the dentition.

All appliances made with the intention of moving teeth for aesthetic and functional purposes. Usually for younger patients after orthodontic treatment. Alignment of dentition.

Appliances manufactured to assist with the movement or retention of teeth. We are also able to do clear aligners and have a 3D printer and equipment to manufacture high quality aligners.

Flexible Dentures

We manufacture flexible dentures for patients with exceptional aesthetic requirements. Flexible dentures are made of a silicone based material and is a great alternative for patients that are allergic to or easily irritated by acrylic.

FAQ

What is the correct way to clean my dentures?

Never use toothpaste. Most toothpastes have abrasive qualities, damaging the polished surface of dentures and in turn allowing plaque to adhere to rough surfaces. Use dishwashing liquid and a toothbrush. Fill the basin half full with water and work over the water when cleaning. A denture dropped in water will not break or chip. Acrylic doesn't take impact well, even though it is an extremely hard material.

Should/shouldn't I glue or repair my own dentures?

If at all possible, never glue your denture. Look for your nearest dental professional and have them repair it correctly. Two problems with emergency repairs at home is:

Most superglues consist of cyano-acrylate, which contains traces of cyanide and prolonged exposure might be harmful to your health.
Once it is glued, if it is skew or not aligned correctly, it will be an extensive and expensive process to correct.

If done correctly, a denture can be repaired very quickly and cost effectively - please leave it to the professionals! Wear a mask!
