Meet our qualified and experienced Clinical Dental Technicians
Here are all the members of our team you will meet when you visit us at Havering Denture Studio
There are only 300 qualified Clinical Dental Technicians across England and we have 3 here working alongside each other at Havering Denture Studio. What is a Clinical Dental Technician? A Clinical Dental Technician is a Dental Technician who has undergone further training to provide dentures directly to the public without you having to see your dentist first. Dental Technicians are allowed to make dentures on prescription of a dentist, never actually seeing the patient themselves. However Clinical Dental Technicians are able to take impressions and go through all of the various appointments necessary to construct your dentures, therefore the same person you see for your appointments personally constructs your denture themselves making them totally tailored to you.

What to expect when you visit us
If you have decided to go ahead and have a denture made by us at Havering Denture Studio here is a guide as to what you can expect at each visit. We take our time to make sure that your denture is as good as it possibly can be therefore there are several stages in denture construction resulting in around 6 appointments.
FIRST APPOINTMENT a full oral inspection is carried out, a treatment plan is compiled and first impressions are taken in order to create models and custom made impression trays.
SECOND IMPRESSIONS some more impressions are taken using the custom made special trays for greater accuracy.
BITE REGISTRATION your precise biting position is recorded. The colour, shape and size of the teeth are also selected (it is helpful to bring along any old photographs you may have showing your teeth at this visit).
TRY IN the individually selected teeth are set up in wax and put in the mouth so you can see exactly what your new dentures will look like. The Clinical Dental Technician will do lots of checks to ensure the teeth are in the correct position so they will both look and feel great. This appointment will be repeated if any changes need to be made.
FINAL FIT at this appointment you will have your new dentures fitted. They are adjusted to give the optimum fit and you will be told how best to clean and look after your new dentures.
REVIEW most people will need a review after a week to assess how you are getting on with your dentures and to make any final adjustments once they have started to settle.
