This week a patient from Chelmsford came to us because although their dentures fitted comfortably in the mouth they were unable to retain it in place as it kept dropping down.

After a short appointment with our Clinical Dental Technician, it was suggested that perhaps clasps could be the answer. The patient agreed that this was a good idea but unhappy with the idea of metal clasps being visible as they would perhaps highlight the fact that they were wearing dentures.

We explained to the patient how at Adam Norris Dental Laboratory how we have the skill and equipment to add tooth coloured clasps to a denture which work in the same way as a metal clasp but are much less visible in the patients mouth.

 

 

 

When the patient left with her newly adjusted dentures, they looked and fitted no differently in the mouth than they did before, however, the dentures now hold in the mouth perfectly and no long drops whilst talking.
