The right starting point for your next case
Each denture pathway has different design and record requirements. Explore the options below, then talk with us about the laboratory stages your case needs.
Full dentures
Complete upper or lower dentures for cases where all teeth in the prescribed arch need replacing. Tooth mould, shade and arrangement follow your clinical records and aesthetic guidance.
For complete-arch prescriptions.
Partial dentures
Removable appliances for selected missing teeth, with acrylic and cobalt-chrome options. Framework, saddle and retention details are developed from the approved design.
For cases with remaining natural teeth.
Flexible dentures
A flexible, gum-coloured partial denture option for suitable prescriptions. Material selection, extensions and retention need to be considered for the individual case.
For clinically appropriate flexible partials.
Details that make the difference
From your clinical plan to the finishing touches
A well-communicated prescription gives the laboratory a clear picture of what you want to achieve. We work from the records and references supplied by your practice, with attention to tooth arrangement, base contours and the prescribed design.
- Tooth mould, shade and arrangement guided by your preferences
- Framework and retention details aligned with the approved prescription
- Try-in feedback incorporated before final processing where prescribed
- Finished appliances returned for your clinical assessment and fitting
Ongoing denture support
Support beyond the initial fit
An existing denture may need attention as the mouth or clinical requirements change. Your assessment determines whether maintenance or a new appliance is the appropriate next step.
Denture relines
Where prescribed, a reline renews the fitting surface of an existing denture to reflect the current supporting tissues. The appliance condition, material and supplied records all inform the laboratory approach.
Denture additions
For suitable existing appliances, prescribed teeth or components can be added as requirements change. Discuss the denture material, design and intended addition with us before arranging the case.
Working together
A clear pathway from prescription to fitting
01
Share the case
Send your prescription and the records relevant to the appliance. Include design instructions, shade selections and any reference information that will help communicate the intended result.
02
Coordinate the stages
We review the supplied details and clarify questions where needed. Confirm the required laboratory stages, any try-in reviews and timing before scheduling dependent appointments.
03
Assess and fit
Your practice receives the prescribed appliance for clinical assessment, fitting and patient guidance. Contact us to discuss any laboratory follow-up the case requires.
Before you send a case
Good records help us start with clarity
The required records vary with the appliance and stage of treatment. Contact the laboratory if you are unsure what to send, or if a case has particular design or scheduling needs.
- A clear prescription identifying the appliance, arch and requested stage
- Accurate impressions or working models, with opposing-arch and bite records where relevant
- Tooth mould, shade, base preferences and approved design details
- Useful photographs, reference notes and try-in feedback where applicable
- Your practice contact details and requested appointment or delivery dates
Common clinic questions
Planning your next denture case
Which denture option should I prescribe?
Suitability depends on your clinical assessment, the remaining teeth and supporting tissues, and the patient’s needs. The service pages outline the laboratory options; contact us to discuss manufacturing and record requirements for your chosen approach.
Can an existing denture be relined or added to?
This depends on its condition, material, design and the prescribed change. Share the relevant appliance details with the laboratory so that the practical requirements can be discussed before submission.
What if a try-in or design change is needed?
Identify required review stages in the prescription. When returning a try-in, include clear feedback and updated records where needed so the next laboratory stage follows your clinical decisions.
How should I plan appointment timing?
Confirm current turnaround and the required stages with the laboratory before booking dependent patient appointments. Timing varies with the appliance, case complexity and any review or clarification needed.
