FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need a referral from a dentist to get dentures?
No. As a Clinical Dental Technician registered with the Dental Council, we see you directly while making and fitting your dentures with no dentist referral needed.
Can you repair a broken denture on the same day?
In most cases, yes. Most cracks, breaks and relines are done while you wait, so you leave the same day with your denture back in your mouth.
How much do dentures cost?
It depends on the type of denture and what you need. We quote a clear price upfront after your consultation, with no obligation.
Where in Galway are you based?
Our clinic is in Crinnage, Craughwell, Co. Galway (eircode H91 CYK3), serving Galway and surrounding counties.
What types of dentures do you make?
Full/partial dentures, chrome dentures and dentures on implants, all made and fitted on site in Craughwell.
Do I brush dentures like natural teeth?
No. Avoid regular toothpaste and hard-bristled brushes, as they can scratch and damage your dentures. Instead, use a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner for daily cleaning to help maintain their condition and longevity.
How often should I replace my dentures?
Dentures typically need to be replaced every 5 to 7 years, depending on changes in your mouth and how well they are maintained. Regular check-ups help monitor their fit and function.
What should I do if my dentures feel loose or uncomfortable?
If your dentures become loose or cause sore spots, book an appointment. Adjustments or relining may be needed to improve the fit. Avoid using over-the-counter adhesives long-term without professional advice.
Do I still need dental check-ups if I wear full dentures?
Yes. Regular dental visits are important to check your oral tissues, gum health, and the condition of your dentures. Early detection of changes in your mouth ensures ongoing comfort and health.
