My Dog Ate My Dentures

 

No two weeks at Adam Norris Dental Laboratory are ever the same. This week we had a particularly strange case. A patient from Hatfield Peverel had her flexible denture chewed up by her dog.

This what the denture looked like

The patient was in a panic as they was due at work but the lower denture was unwearable.

Here at Adam Norris Dental Laboratory, we understand these sorts of the emergencies.   Unlike most other places we did not give the response, “sorry the only thing we can do is throw these ones away and make you some a new denture.” Instead we managed to get the denture back to a clean fitting, usable state which allowed the patient to go to work without fear.  It has also given the patient a temporary set of teeth to use until we complete the process of getting the a new flexible denture made.

The patient waited just 15 minutes and this was the result.

The patent was so happy to be able to carry on wearing the denture, albeit temporarily, and is looking forward to having a brand new flexibility denture.
