Kent dentist replaces loose denture with fixed bridge

Monday, August 10th, 2009

The following patient attended our practice after having problems with his loose dentures. He was presented with a choice of treatment by Dr Stephen Tangney in which he chose to go ahead with a fixed bridge.

Read on to see what impact it has made to his life….

“My previous experience about dentistry was not very good before i came to Parrock Street Dental Care, I was not scared of my previous dentist but I was unhappy with the treatments offered. Parrock Street Dental Care is excellent in comparison to my previous experience as i was made to feel welcome and relaxed, and most importantly offered a choice of treatment.

I previously had a bottom plate with three teeth attached, they moved all the time and I was forever pasting them causing embarrassment. Now I have a bridge which is so natural i forget I have false teeth. I am so happy now as I can forget about it.

I was motivated to have a bridge as I was fed up with the plate moving in my mouth and having to keep pasting it.

The treatment that I received was excellent and it has increased my confidence and I am very happy with the end result!

If I had to give any words of advise to other patients nervous or anxious about visiting the dentist I can say that you will be made to feel relaxed and important, overall I was very satisfied with my whole experience.”

Denture Repair – Same Day Lab Repairs

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Sometimes patients have the mistaken notion that if they have broken their denture they have to see a dentist to get a new one, however that is not always the case.  On many occasions a denture can be repaired or added to without needing any impressions by the dentist.

Colin has been a dental technician for over 30 years and thoroughly enjoys his job. He works Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and is available to help repair and add to any broken dentures or replace any missing teeth onto a denture.

You do not have to be registered at our practice in order to use the services of our dental laboratory. You can bring your broken denture to us and after Colin has made an assessment of the denture we can advise you of the proposed course of action needed in order to fix your denture.

Just like an optician we recommend two pairs of glasses, We recommend that our denture wearing patients always have a spare set of dentures made, in the unlikely event that their permanent dentures are misplaced, dropped, broken etc….. they will then not have to go without any teeth as the process of making a great fitting and looking new denture can take a few appointments over the course of a few weeks.

As a fixed alternative to dentures patients may want to consider implant supported dentures or bridges
