A Dental Prosthetist is a highly qualified and skilled member of the dental profession who constructs, fits and provides a complete and professional denture care service.
You can make an appointment for a consultation directly with your Dental Prosthetist, who will provide and fit your new dentures or mouthguard. We will maintain, repair and reline your dentures as required by your referring Clinician. Your Dental Prosthetist will personally consult, advise and assist you in all relevant aspects of your treatment and where possible, provide you with the appropriate treatment. A new denture gives you a better fit and so chewing your food is easier, and it will provide you with better facial support giving you more confidence!
