Removable Prosthetics
Dentures and other removable prosthetic devices are my favourite area of dentistry, as I am always amazed at how much of a simple difference they can make to a patient. I design my chrome dentures (design video can be seen on my instagram page) often following the ‘Scandinavian’ design protocols. I also enjoy making full dentures, where I have had a good deal of success following Dr Jiro Abe in his protocols for lower suction dentures. I use a number of techniques for full dentures, including digital copy dentures.
