There are now many treatment options that can provide the best for you. You could expect to pay anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 depending on the treatment required. In some cases more. This can range in treatments from partial dentures for 1 or more teeth to complete dentures with implants. We recommend a free consultation where all options can be discussed.
Withe dentures we have the opportunity to always enhance your smile. We can often improve aesthetics and tailor a smile to your liking. this includes tooth colour and arrangement. If you have natural teeth that you are not satisfied with we can begin to tailor a smile that you are happy with.
Dental implants can be very helpful, especially for denture wearers. In particular, lower dentures can be unstable in the mouth and as we git older, more difficult to control. Implants allow us to "anchor" a denture in place. This in turn allows for better control and a greater bite force for eating.
No, you can see us directly for a complementary consultation. If you require a replacement or new set of dentures we can see you quickly to start treatment. With some partial denture treatments, we may require you to see a dentist to make sure you are dentally fit for treatment.
Ideally the answer would be yes. However, with every persons smile there is definitely a large amount of dignity. We expect and also discuss with our patients that oral care must be well maintained. If dentures are to be worn always, brushing and flossing of the natural teeth must take place, as well as thorough denture cleaning must be maintained.
D³ Digicare dentures are the next generation in both materials and method for crafting dentures. The quality of materials is of a greater standard as they are homogenous in nature and teeth and denture material are milled into shape keeping the strong attributes of these materials. Another great benefit of digital dentures are the ability to save and archive your smile. So if the unlikely happens, a permanent replica can be made to replace within 48hrs.
With D³ dentures, if you lose or break your dentures they are able to be replaced very simply and very quickly. Often when dentures are lost it can take weeks to replace them, but with a digital solution this takes only 48hrs.
Dentures are a very effective way to replace missing teeth. Chewing and eating can alter depending on the amount of teeth on your denture. Many denture wearers will eat all foods, but it must be said that the efficiency of dentures against our natural teeth is not as strong. Denture implants can help, and can increase a bite force back to its natural strength.
Dentures can affect speech, but this is not always the case. It often differs from patient to patient and most speech issues are resolved within the first weeks of wearing your dentures.
"Hi I had new dentures put in about one month ago. I can not express how much it has changed my life. I haven't had a full mouth of teeth for about 4 years. It truly has made a big difference. I've had so many comments about how natural they look. I'm so over the moon. Thank you so much Sophia. You've changed my life."

I would like to thank the team for great service and an excellent denture. It fitted perfectly, first time with no adjustments.
Now I can eat normally at last."

"Earlier this year I had to have ALL of my remaining teeth removed and to be fitted with full upper and lower dentures!! Horror of Horrors - I was dreading it!! However, I was referred to Duchenne Denture Specialists in Christchurch. They were amazing - the whole Team!!! Tristan couldn't have been more skilled, friendly or professional. He took time to get to know me and found out what my hopes and wishes were for my 'new look'. I felt totally confident before the process even began. My friends and family could hardly believe that my whole 'change' had gone so smoothly. I'm super thrilled with my new dentures - they look terrific and natural and are a super fit. I highly recommend Duchenne at Springfield Rd and, in particular, Tristan. Thanks sooo much Tristan for your excellent work and friendly approach - so much appreciated!!"

"I have been lucky to be put under the professional care of Emily at Duchenne in Christchurch to have dentures made. With the whole process including denture adjustments nothing was a problem to her with her calming and professional approach as I was tending to get a bit stressed at this new venture. So a big thanks to you and the reception staff and look forward to my next visit."

"After going through a dreadful experience with another denture manufacturer it wasn't easy for me to decide to go through the whole process again.
I made the decision to ring Duchenne Denture Specialists and make an appointment to see if they could help me, right from the first call to the receptionist it has been a wonderful and very easy process.
I went to the Ilam practice where I met Sophia, I found her to be very professional and so helpful and has made this experience so different from my last. She was so caring and empathetic to my anxieties and guided me through the whole process. She made sure that I was happy with each decision made and every appointment was a breeze, nothing has been a problem. I now have a beautiful, natural looking, well-fitting set of dentures that I am happy to finally smile about.
I highly recommend without question Duchenne Denture Specialists and especially Sophia.
Thank you"

"Duchenne Technicians and staff are AMAZING people!!
I had lost so much confidence because of missing teeth, I would try and hide them as much as I could, I'd talk with my hand close to my mouth, and wouldn't smile for people or even family photos. My new dentures fit perfectly and the process was fast and efficient. Thank you so much Tristan for giving me my smile back, you've been an amazing."
