First, who you are dealing with

Made and fitted at our own lab in Poole

Just so you know you have reached the right people: we are Wessex Dental Laboratory, based at Holes Bay Park in Poole, on 01202 674486. Every denture is made and fitted here at our own bench.

What sets us apart for Ferndown is John, a GDC-registered Clinical Dental Technician who has made dentures for the best part of fifty years and fits the ones he makes himself, and a lab that makes every denture discipline under one roof.

For an area with plenty of established, less-mobile residents in West Moors and West Parley, that comes with a real advantage: we can come to you.

Housebound? John, our Clinical Dental Technician, also visits patients at home, in hospital or in a care home within about 10 miles of the lab. He takes the whole denture, from impressions to the final fitting, in your own room.

Broken denture in Ferndown?

A broken denture is usually a same-day fix, often within the hour.

Drop it in, post it or bring it down the A31, about 20 minutes from Ferndown. Most repairs are done the same day, some within the hour, and a Clinical Dental Technician is on site to fit and adjust it. 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.

Made in our Poole lab, fitted by John himself

John has made dentures his whole career and fits them himself. He is a GDC-registered Clinical Dental Technician and a chrome specialist, and he took over Wessex in 1990. Behind him is a bench of GDC-registered technicians, so everything is made here in Poole even when it is not John personally at the wax.

Often a denture is made by a lab you never meet and fitted by someone else again. Here it is made in the building you visit and fitted by the CDT who sees you, which is why an adjustment is quick and right first time.

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

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
How do I make sure I have reached the right lab?
We are Wessex Dental Laboratory, based at Holes Bay Park in Poole, on 01202 674486. Every denture is made and fitted here at our own bench, so if you have called that number and spoken to us, you are in the right place.
Do you actually cover Ferndown, and how far is it?
Yes. We are about a 20 minute drive down the A31 from Ferndown and West Moors, at Holes Bay Park in Poole, with parking on site. Ferndown and West Moors also sit inside our home-visit area.
Can someone come to my home in Ferndown or West Moors?
Yes. John, a Clinical Dental Technician, visits patients at home, in hospital or in a care home and takes the whole case there, from impressions to the fitting. Very few offer this because it needs a CDT.
My denture broke today. Can you repair it?
Usually the same day, often within the hour. Please don't glue it first, because pieces glued out of position cannot be worked to and the repair has to start again. Bring the pieces down or post them.
How much do dentures cost, and is private worth it?
You get a clear quote at your free consultation, before any work begins. Our denture costs guide explains what is included and how private compares with NHS.
Why choose you over my local Ferndown studio?
Because you deal with a registered CDT who fits every type of denture himself, backed by a DAMAS-registered lab that is over 70 years established and makes the lot in-house, and because we can come to you if getting out is hard.
