A rare service

The whole denture service, brought to you

If getting to a lab or surgery is difficult, we bring the service to you. John is a Clinical Dental Technician, which means every appointment can happen in your own home, care home or hospital: the impressions, the special trays, the bite, the wax try-in and fitting the finished dentures, all without you leaving the house. It is a course of visits rather than one, usually three to four weeks in total, because the dentures themselves are made on our benches in Poole between appointments.

Most domiciliary work is a full/full case, which is our term for a full upper and a full lower denture, so it suits someone with no natural teeth left. If you still have some of your own teeth we can usually still help, with one extra step first.

Very few labs offer this. A home denture service needs a Clinical Dental Technician, and there are only a handful in the whole of the South of England. That is why we are able to help people that other services simply cannot reach.

John attends with an assistant and covers roughly a ten-mile radius of the Poole laboratory. There is one thing worth checking before you call, which is whether you still have natural teeth, because that changes the first step. The quick check below explains it.

Can we help you?

Who we can treat at home

A 30-second check before you call, so a home visit is never a wasted one.

We can visit you at home

You have no natural teeth left

As a Clinical Dental Technician, John does every appointment in your own home, hospital or care home: impressions, special trays, bites, the wax try-in and the final fit. It runs over a course of visits, with the dentures made at our Poole bench in between. There is no need for a dentist referral first.

One quick step first

You still have some natural teeth

We can still help, with one step first. A CDT is not a dentist, so he cannot remove teeth or do clinical checks. Your dentist needs to sign off (and handle any extractions) before we take over the denture work, and we'll happily work alongside them.

Home visits cover roughly a 10-mile radius of our Poole laboratory. John attends with an assistant.

Honest pricing

What a home visit costs

A domiciliary case is priced to the work involved and the visit, and we confirm it clearly before we start. The first step is a phone call to check your area and your situation.

Call us to check we cover your area and to arrange the first visit.

Home-visit work is priced per case. We confirm the cost before any work begins, with no obligation.

How it works

What happens across the visits

01

First visit: impressions

John visits, talks through what you need and takes the first impressions. Morning or afternoon slots to suit the household.

02

Trays and bites

A second visit takes special-tray impressions and registers your bite, so the dentures are built to your mouth.

03

Wax try-in

You see and try the teeth in wax and approve the look and feel before anything is finished, with time allowed between visits.

04

Fit at home

We fit the finished dentures in your own home and ease them so they are comfortable. Most cases run over about three to four weeks.

Who comes to your home

A named, registered technician, not a rota

When we visit, John comes himself, with an assistant. You are not passed between strangers. He is a GDC-registered Clinical Dental Technician with close to fifty years in the trade, he takes every appointment personally, and your dentures are made on our own benches back at the Poole lab.

Behind him is an established Poole laboratory of over seventy years that is DAMAS accredited and MHRA registered. For a family arranging care for a relative, that combination, a named person and an accredited lab, is exactly the reassurance you want.

Plain answers

Questions about this service

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

Can you really come to my home to make dentures?
Yes. As a Clinical Dental Technician, John does every appointment in your own home, care home or hospital, from the first impressions to fitting the finished dentures. It runs over a number of visits rather than a single one, because the dentures are made on our benches in Poole in between, but you do not need to travel to us at any stage.
Can you help if I still have some natural teeth?
We can, with one step first. A CDT is not a dentist, so John cannot remove teeth or do clinical checks. If you have natural teeth, your dentist needs to sign off first, and we then take over the denture work. If you have no natural teeth left, we can start straight away.
How far do you travel?
Home visits cover roughly a ten-mile radius of our Poole laboratory, which takes in Poole, Bournemouth and the surrounding Dorset towns. Call us and we will confirm whether we reach you.
Who actually comes to the house, and are they qualified?
John comes himself, with an assistant. He is a GDC-registered Clinical Dental Technician with close to fifty years in the trade, and the laboratory is DAMAS accredited and MHRA registered. You are dealing with the lab that makes your dentures and the CDT who fits them, not a middleman.
Can you visit a care home or arrange a group of residents?
Yes. We regularly visit care and nursing homes and can arrange visits for one resident or several. A family member, carer or power of attorney usually helps set up and hold the appointment slot.
How do I arrange it, and roughly what does it cost?
Start with a phone call so we can check your area and situation. We confirm the cost clearly before any work begins. Most cases run over about three to four weeks from first visit to fit.
