01573 226569

Matched to the patient, shade by shade

Ultra-realistic work starts with the teeth beside it. We match shade and character in detail, work from digital photographs of the patient's natural teeth, and offer an in-house shade matching and patient consultation service.

How we match shade

Crown and bridge

From a single crown to full mouth rehabilitation. All-ceramic crowns, porcelain bonded to precious metal and resin-bonded Maryland bridges, with ceramic work finished to an exceptionally high standard.

More on crown and bridge

Implant restorations

Full upper implant bridges, implant dentures on milled titanium beams, custom abutments, and realistic porcelain gum work where soft tissue has been lost. In 2017 the laboratory was named Best Implant Laboratory at the UK Laboratory Awards.

Aesthetics and veneers

Cosmetic cases with high or unusual aesthetic demands, all-ceramic veneers, and one of the hardest matches of all: a single crowned front tooth beside natural teeth with complex shade and character.

For dentists

We work with dentists at every stage, from the newly qualified to highly experienced specialists. Phone us, or email digital photographs with the patient's name in the subject line, and we will advise on material, preparation and sequence before the case begins.

For patients

Most of our work comes through your dentist. Two services are open to you directly.

Same-day denture repair

We repair broken dentures the same day for members of the public. If your denture has broken:

  1. Keep all the pieces safely together.
  2. Do not try to mend it with super glue. Glue makes a proper repair more difficult.
  3. Without glue, see whether the pieces fit securely together. Where the break is clean, we should be able to repair your denture directly.
  4. Clean the pieces carefully, put them in a plastic bag and bring them to the laboratory. We will tell you on the spot whether it can be repaired without an impression.

If a piece has been lost, or the pieces will not fit together, you will need to visit your dentist for an impression before the denture can be repaired.

Dentures and repairs

Shade matching and consultation

For work that has to match your own teeth closely, the laboratory offers an in-house shade matching and patient consultation service. Ask your dentist about it, or ask us.

I am amazed that they are so smooth and clean

I was absolutely very happy that they fixed my denture very quickly with little notice and within a short time. I have a thing about being without teeth so if they hadn’t done the job so quickly I would have had to stay in all weekend. The other thing is that they gave my denture a deep clean and I am amazed that they are so smooth and clean. Can’t thank them enough and they were so pleasant and helpful, the building was so light, bright and smelt lovely.

I was so impressed with the service

My Denture had broken and also needed a small adjustment. It got fixed the same day. The technician and the receptionist could not do enough for me and I was so impressed with the service. Would certainly use them again if required.
