    This clinics employ clinical dental technicians, that is technicians who have taken extra qualifications to not only make dentures but also to take impressions and do all the stages of dentures in an edentulous patient ie someone who has none of their own teeth left.

    So firstly if you have any of your own teeth left then you have to see a dentist first to diagnose and prescribe treatment. This clinic seems to work with some dentists to do this .

    if you have none of your own teeth left then you can use a clinical dental technician directly. They will not be cheap, typically they charge more than a dentist for private dentures but as they do nothing but dentures and do all the laboratory work they may well do a better job than some dentists on dentures.

    If you have your own teeth left then a good private dentist who has been recommended to you will probably do as good or better a job at a cheaper cost.
