Broken denture near Christchurch?

Bring it in and it is usually repaired the same day, often within the hour.

You don't need an appointment. Most repairs are done the same day, some in as little as 30 to 90 minutes, and a Clinical Dental Technician is on site to fit and adjust it before you leave. Every repair carries a two-week guarantee, and if it breaks again we look at why rather than just repairing it twice.

How a repair works today

Don't glue it, bring it in

It is almost impossible to line the pieces up accurately by hand, and once the glue has set out of position we cannot work to it. Pop it in a tub and bring it into the Poole lab.

We repair it on the bench

We cast a model off the fit surface, trim the crack for the strongest bond and cure fresh acrylic under pressure, usually the same day.

Fitted and checked before you leave

A Clinical Dental Technician is on site, so if it needs adjusting it is done there and then. We will not leave you stranded.

Please don't reach for the superglue, or a chemist's repair kit. Almost nobody can line the broken pieces up accurately by hand, and once the glue has set with them out of position we cannot work to that denture, because any model we cast from it would be wrong too. We then have to take a fresh impression, break it apart again and repair it to that, which takes longer and costs more. Bring the pieces in as they are and we will do it right.

Western Christchurch is comfortably inside that, and the far eastern side towards Highcliffe is at the edge, so please ask us and we will be straight with you about whether we can reach you.

One CDT, every denture discipline

In Christchurch you can choose a repair lab, a solo denturist or a general dentist. What none of them offers is a full bench making every kind of denture in-house, with a registered Clinical Dental Technician who fits them himself.

John does. He took over Wessex in 1990 and has spent the best part of fifty years at the bench. Acrylic, cobalt-chrome, flexible and implant-retained dentures are all made under one roof in Poole, so you are never sent from lab to lab.

What our patients say

Real reviews from patients on Google. Individual results vary, and yours is made specifically for you.

Today I attended your laboratory with broken dentures, and within 2 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.
Mrs W.
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.
Sheila
I had not been able to eat properly for such a long time and now I enjoy every meal. So comfortable to wear.
Mrs H.
Thank you John for fitting me with a perfect small denture. It was painless and fits very comfortably.
Terry
I recently had to have a bridge extracted and was dreading dentures. John gave me an option of implants. My implant bridge looks so natural. I am over the moon.
Susan
A million thanks for my new dentures. I was able to go away on holiday with my new set of teeth.
Mrs P.
Plain answers

Christchurch: common questions

No jargon, no pressure. If your question is not here, call the lab and a technician will talk it through.

The Wessex Dental Laboratory reception in Poole
Can a denture really be repaired in one day?
Usually, yes. Most repairs are same-day and some are done within the hour. A Clinical Dental Technician is on site, so it is repaired, fitted and adjusted in one visit rather than posted away.
What should I do if my denture breaks? Can I glue it?
Please don't glue it. Almost nobody can line the broken pieces up accurately by hand, and once the glue has set out of position we cannot work to that denture, so we have to take a fresh impression and start again, which takes longer and costs more. Bring the pieces in as they are.
How far is the lab from Christchurch, and is there parking?
We are at Holes Bay Park in Poole, roughly a 25 minute drive from Christchurch, with parking on site. Christchurch's western edge also falls inside our 10-mile home-visit radius.
Can you come to me at home if I can't travel from Christchurch?
If you are within our home-visit area, yes. John visits patients at home, in hospital or in a care home and takes the whole case there, from impressions to fitting. If you are on the far side of Christchurch, just ask and we'll be straight with you about the reach.
Are private dentures better than NHS?
They are made differently, with more time and choice of materials, and here they are made and fitted by a CDT. We'll talk you through the difference at your free consultation so you can decide.
What types of denture do you make?
Acrylic, cobalt-chrome, flexible and implant-retained dentures, plus repairs and additions. John is a chrome specialist, and everything is made in the Poole lab.
