Margaret R.
Full Dentures Patient
"The attention to detail is remarkable. My partial denture fits so well that people cannot tell it is not my natural teeth. The team took the time to match the shade perfectly and the comfort is outstanding."
David W.

"I had been putting off getting my dentures relined for years. The process was quick, professional, and the difference is night and day. No more sore spots or slipping. Highly recommend to anyone in Christchurch."

Frequently Asked Questions
We believe in transparency and education. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.
Do I need a referral from my dentist?
No, you can book directly with us. While many patients come through dentist referrals, we welcome direct appointments. We also work collaboratively with your dentist if you have one.
How long does it take to get new dentures?
The process typically takes 2-4 weeks from initial consultation to final fitting. This allows time for precise impressions, try-in appointments, and any adjustments needed for the perfect fit.
What if my dentures break?
We offer a one-hour emergency repair service for broken or cracked dentures. Simply call us and bring in your denture - most repairs are completed while you wait at our St Albans laboratory.
Do you accept WINZ quotes?
Yes, we provide itemized documentation for Work and Income (WINZ) quotes. We understand the importance of accessible dental care and work with WINZ to help patients afford quality dentures.
Is your facility wheelchair accessible?
Yes, our St Albans facility is fully wheelchair accessible with a ramped entrance, accessible parking, and compliant restrooms. We are committed to making our services available to everyone.
How often should dentures be relined?
We recommend having your dentures checked annually. Relining is typically needed every 2-3 years as your jawbone and gums naturally change shape over time. Regular check-ups ensure optimal fit and comfort.
