There is no escaping the feel-good factor of Dentures Plus

Working alongside Ryan is a team who share his passion for restoring people's confidence through their smile. 

This can be done through full, partial, implant or immediate dentures – the clinic does it all. They even have the city’s only welder specifically designed for the repair of partial dentures. 

Sports mouthguards and bite splints are also available.

Manufacturing of dentures is done onsite using a high-tech laboratory and a decidedly messier plaster room – that's the “fun” room, Ryan says – before a final denture is made using the acrylic-injection method for the snuggest-fitting, most durable dentures the industry can make.  

"Patients can either come to us directly or their dentist can send us moulds to work on,” Ryan says, noting that miscommunication is less likely if patients visit the clinic.

Visiting before teeth are removed is an especially good idea because it helps the denture makers see the natural shape of a person’s face. That way, the denture can be sculpted more realistically. 

Teeth are then positioned with the tiny twists and turns that make the final product indistinguishable from the real thing. An artist’s touch is required, and experience counts for a lot. 

Ryan and his wife, Marion – a German-trained denture technician – bought Dentures Plus six years ago and since then have grown the business steadily. 

The couple met while working at one of New Zealand’s largest denture clinics, which helped them hit the ground running at Dentures Plus as they brought a focus on applying the latest techniques and technology to the 20-year-old practice.

“We've got a laid-back atmosphere that really puts patients at ease, and a team that hails from all over the world. That's helped us extend our knowledge of the many different techniques out there,” Ryan says.

Included in the services at Denture Plus is denture care, with checkups advised every 1-2 years to ensure good oral health and a comfortable fit.

Cleaning products are available over the counter and via the Dentures Plus website, including the standout cleaning solution Caldent. This is far superior than any cleaner sold in supermarkets, Ryan says. 

In-house denture cleaning can also be performed at Dentures Plus using Caldent used in conjunction with a specialised ultrasonic machine to produce in a few hours a result that would take a week at home.
