Local coverage

Covering Wimborne and the surrounding villages

Wimborne is a short drive from the Poole bench and sits inside our home-visit area, so you can come to us or we can come to you.

Easy to reach from Wimborne

Our lab is at Unit 10, Holes Bay Park, Sterte Avenue West, Poole (BH15 2AA), with parking on site. It is an easy drive in for your free consultation, a fitting or a same-day repair.

Or 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.

What dentures cost

Honest cost guidance, and what is included

None of the Wimborne denture pages will tell you a price. We would rather be straight with you. Every denture is quoted at your free one-hour consultation, before any work begins, and the quote includes the teeth, the trays, the bite registration and the wax try-ins, not just the finished set.

If you are weighing up private against NHS, or want a sense of the range first, our denture costs guide explains it plainly.

Broken denture in Wimborne?

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

It is a short drive from Wimborne to the Poole lab. 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, a registered CDT

John has made dentures his whole career, the best part of fifty years, and fits the dentures that leave our bench himself. He is a GDC-registered Clinical Dental Technician and a chrome specialist.

A Wimborne studio might name a technician, but here your denture is made and fitted in the same building, by people you can meet. If it needs adjusting, that is done by the team who understand exactly how it was built.

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.

How much do dentures cost near Wimborne?
You get a clear price at your free consultation, before any work begins, and it includes the teeth, trays, bite and try-ins. Our denture costs guide sets out what a set includes and how private compares with NHS.
Are private dentures a better fit than NHS?
They are made with more time and a wider choice of materials, and here they are made and fitted by a CDT rather than a general dentist. We'll explain the difference at your consultation so you can decide what is worth it for you.
My denture snapped. Can you repair it the same day?
Usually, yes. It is a short drive from Wimborne, most repairs are same-day and some within the hour, and there is a technician on site to fit it before you leave. Please don't glue it first, as that makes the repair harder.
What is the difference between acrylic, flexible and chrome dentures?
Acrylic is the traditional full or partial denture. Flexible partials are metal-free and clip quietly into place. Cobalt-chrome partials are slimmer and stronger, and are John's specialism. Each service page explains which suits which situation.
Can someone come to my home in Wimborne to make dentures?
Yes. Wimborne is inside our 10-mile home-visit radius. John takes the whole case at home, in hospital or in a care home, from impressions to the final fitting. Very few labs offer this because it needs a CDT.
