COMPLETE DENTURES
We accept referrals for complete dentures. Some practices have been sending us all their complete dentures for some years and we are happy to continue to provide this service.
Whilst we accept difficult denture cases we cannot help with very difficult patients. For example, where a patient has a history of one unsatisfactory denture per year for the last 10 years and has made formal complaints against the dentist every time, we will not be able to do any better than you can.
Your patient should be aware that complete dentures are not a substitute for teeth but an alternative to no teeth. Although we will do our professional best to resolve your patient's complete denture problems we cannot give any guarantees. Every complete denture patient will receive a consent letter which contains a paragraph similar to the one below:
"Yours is a difficult case and I will do my professional best to provide the best possible result for you within the limitations of your clinical situation. If the result does not meet your expectations this will be due to the limitations discussed. Accordingly refunds are not possible. However if it becomes clear following treatment that a better result could have been achieved by using a different technique then I will of course be happy to continue working with you perhaps modifying or even in rare cases remaking the denture at no extra cost to yourself."
