We all find ourselves in this rather unique and challenging situation. “A state of isolation and restricted access instituted as the result of a security matter” Who would have ever guessed that a virus would result in a Lockdown.
This time spent in our “Bubbles” has certainly given us time to ponder and reflect on what is truly important to us. We will all arrive at our own conclusions, but one thing that is for sure is the World as we knew it, would have changed…. more than likely for the better!
This time will pass. It won’t be like this forever! Life will return to normality again, and when it does, Denture Creations will once again be bringing you the service and quality that we are known for and that you, our most valued patients have come to expect. We are so grateful for all our loyal clients and the ongoing trust and support you have shown us over these past 8 years.
As we approach Easter, lets love more and be kind to one another.
Wishing you all a happy Easter and look forward to seeing you when our doors open again.
Stay safe. Stay Blessed.
Kindest wishes from the entire Team at Denture Creations (Your Smile Designers)

Smooth rocks, like those found on the beach or in a river bed, work best for this project.
Take the kids out to search for ones that lay flat and are generally round or oblong in shape. If you don’t live near water, you should be able to get some from your local garden supply store.
Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

It’s everybody’s responsibility to speak out and keep each other safe right now. If you think something is not ok with a friend, neighbour, or colleague, it’s okay to call Police on their behalf. The person you’re worried about may not be able to speak up for themselves. You could be saving a life.

One way to keep the tamariki busy is to help our Prime Minister create an Easter egg hunt for all the children in our CM Health rohe. All they have to do is colour it in or decorate it, and pop it in your window for other kids to find on their daily outing for exercise. If you don’t have a printer, go freestyle and draw your egg from scratch. The Prime Minister would love to see your creations so take a photo and email it to primeminister@parliament.govt.nz or share it on social media using the hashtag: #NZEggHunt
