Everything we make in our Poole lab
Most labs specialise in one thing. We do the lot, so a patient gets every option and a dentist gets one lab for the whole surgery, instead of sending work out to multiple suppliers.
Can’t find what you’re looking for?
The six above are the ones we are asked for most. There is more on the full list, from flexible and implant-retained dentures to zirconia crowns, night guards and home visits.

Prices depend on the type of denture and the materials, so we go through it plainly at your free consultation. You will know what to expect before anything begins.
The technicians who make your teeth are the ones who fit them
We are a working lab in Poole, not a call centre and not a sales floor. Everything is made here, on our own benches, by our own technicians. When you come in you meet them, and the person who fits your denture is one of the people who made it.
John owns the lab and has been making dentures for the best part of fifty years. He is a Registered Clinical Dental Technician, which is what lets him see you and fit your denture himself, and he works alongside a bench of GDC-registered technicians who between them fabricate a wide range of prosthetics, repair restorations, run our CAD-CAM workflows, make orthodontic and bespoke appliances, and a good deal more besides.
If something is not right, you tell us and we put it right. Whatever happens, we won’t leave you stranded.
- Led by a Registered Clinical Dental TechnicianJohn is a GDC-registered CDT with close to fifty years at the bench, which is what lets him see you and fit your denture himself.
- A bench of qualified techniciansBehind John is a team of GDC-registered technicians, including a director who is a chrome specialist and our own prosthetics and appliance bench.
- Talk to the person who made itIf John is busy, a technician will still come down to see you. You deal with the people at the bench.
A registered, accredited Poole lab
We work to the standards the profession expects, so patients and dentists can trust every appliance that leaves the bench.
How it works, from first call to fitted
The appointments a denture case runs to, at your pace and never rushed. Dentists: send work by post or local courier, with about five working days a stage for acrylic and ten for chrome and crown work.
A free consultation
Come in for a calm, no-pressure chat. John looks, listens and explains your options in plain English.
First impressions, and your shade
We take the first impressions of your mouth and match the tooth shade in daylight, with you in the chair.
Special tray and bite registration
A special tray made to your own mouth gives us a far more accurate second impression, and we register how your jaws meet. Sometimes a wax try-in happens at this visit too.
The wax try-in
You see and try your teeth set in wax before anything is finished, so you approve the look and the feel while it can still be changed.
A retry, if it is needed
If anything is not quite right at the try-in, we adjust it and you try it again. We would rather do this than finish something you are not happy with.
Finish and fit
We finish your denture on our own benches and John fits it, easing it until it is comfortable. Settling-in adjustments afterwards are part of the care.

Mrs W.
Today I attended your laboratory with broken dentures. Within two hours you had taken impressions, repaired my denture and even placed a missing tooth. An amazing service, and just in time for my daughter's wedding tomorrow.
Sheila
After years of problems it is so good to have a denture that fits and to be able to eat all types of food with no problem.
Susan
I was dreading dentures. John gave me the option of implants, and my implant bridge looks so natural. I am over the moon.
Mrs H.
I had not been able to eat properly for such a long time and now I enjoy every meal. It is so comfortable to wear.
Mrs P.
A million thanks for my new dentures. I was able to go away on holiday with my new set of teeth.
Terry
Thank you John for fitting me with a perfect small denture. It was painless and fits very comfortably.
