She uses quality ceramic acrylic teeth with excellent fit, and state of the art impression techniques and materials. The result is a beautiful and perfectly fitted prosthesis.
The loss of a tooth, or teeth, is an anxious time for most patients. It’s only natural that there will be lots of questions and reassurance sought. What, for instance, will the new prosthesis look like, how will it feel and function? Charlotte guides her patients through these inevitable questions, gives clear answers, and explains the best suited treatment options for each patient. With correct tooth positioning and facial height, the lips are reformed, and beauty and confidence are restored.
Charlotte is available to discuss treatment options for immediate dentures, replacement dentures, refits, implant supported prosthesis, snoring devices, bite splints for Brusxim, chrome partial plates, and sports mouth guards.
Please book your complimentary consultation with Charlotte, and she will discuss the best treatment plan with you.
