We focus on the most intricate details when crafting your dentures. This means they look beautiful and natural and are extremely stable. You can eat and smile with confidence.
We are pleased to offer different types of dentures to meet the needs and preferences of every patient. This includes immediate dentures, suction dentures, and Scandinavian dentures.
Your treatment experience is elevated by our use of innovative digital technology. It ensures your dentures are well-fitting, secure, and comfortable, and are created to your exact specifications.
Instead of resting on your soft, delicate gums, Scandinavian dentures are securely supported by your remaining natural teeth. They use a precision-engineered, ultra-thin metal framework that clips gently but firmly around your teeth. This keeps the denture completely stable when you eat and speak, without rocking or slipping.
Yes, they are very comfortable to wear. Because the metal framework is incredibly strong, it can be made much thinner and lighter than some plastic dentures. Additionally, because the design leaves your gum lines open, it doesn’t press into your gums or cause the rubbing and sore spots sometimes associated with older styles of dentures.
Not at all, and a large part of the Scandinavian philosophy is invisible dentistry. We take the time to look at your facial structure, and even old photos of your natural smile if you have them, to perfectly match the shade, shape, and alignment of your original teeth. The framework itself is hidden behind your teeth, so your smile will look completely natural and unique to you.
Yes, you can. Some traditional dentures can sometimes slide or lift when you bite into harder foods because they sit on shifting gum tissue. Because Scandinavian dentures are anchored directly to your teeth, they transfer the pressure of chewing safely down the roots of your natural teeth. This gives you a much stronger, more reliable bite so you can enjoy your favourite foods with confidence.
One of the best features of this design is how easy it is to keep clean. Because it has an open design that doesn’t trap food against your gums, maintaining good hygiene is straightforward. You simply remove the denture to brush your remaining natural teeth as normal, and gently clean the denture itself with a soft brush and a recommended cleanser before putting it back in.
This is where the clever engineering really shines. These dentures are designed with the future in mind. If one of your remaining natural teeth weakens or needs to be removed years down the road, the advanced chrome framework can often be adapted. We can simply add a new replacement tooth to your existing denture rather than you needing to order a whole new denture.
