Emergency denture

[Clive]

My dad lives in an elderly peoples home and unfortunately last week he lost his top denture and now finds it very hard to chew food and I am worried that he might lose weight without denture teeth to chew with.

Do you provide emergency dentures for people who live in homes? Its very difficult for him to come to see you and would really need a dentist to go to see him for all of his treatment. Do you do home visits?

How quickly can an emergency denture be made? I am keen that the treatment is started as soon as possible so that he has a new set of teeth as soon as possible.

Many thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

Sorry to hear your dad has lost his denture but the good news is that yes we make emergency dentures and yes our dentist can come to visit you and you do not need to come and see us.

In terms of how quickly it can be made, it depends how complicated it is but what I can tell you for sure we can have a very rapid turn over and there has been many cases that we produced and denture almost within 24 hours. In short we are aware that how important dentures are for patient that use them and we do our best to ensure that we get it to them asap.
