Eventually many people find that they may loose all their teeth. When this happens a dental prosthethist is able to provide and fit dentures for you. This is done by attending a number of appointments over a period of time depending on an individual's circumstance or needs. 

Generally people don't lose all their teeth in one go. Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth to improve chewing, appearance, or help and maintain the function of the surrounding teeth. Several options are available today, so please call or visit so we can decide what suits you best.

 Mouthguards are appliances recommended by dentist to protect a patient's teeth and most importantly aid in the prevention of concussion. Mouthguard thickness may vary depending on the contact sport. TDG can personalise your mouthguard with various styles, colours, name & phone number.

Your dentist may refer you to have an appliance made because you suffer from bruxism (excessive teeth grinding). A number of appliances exits today such as night guards, dual-layered splints, full (hard) splints. You can be referred to have a sleep apnoea appliance made. Such appliances will be issued to you by your referring dentist.

Often other dental professionals may prefer to have a trained technician create and manufacture items such as trays and wax bites for their dental clinics, or they may have a patient that has broken their denture recently and require the appliance fixed as quickly as possible. 

It may become necessary to resurface the tissue side of a denture with a new base material that captures the changes that have occurred over time. If the changes are too pronounced (very unstable) a rebase may even be required. Relines can be completed in one day with a morning and afternoon appointment.
