Denture Creations – Smile Designers

Denture Creations Ltd

The first known dentures were made from human or animal teeth by the ancient Etruscans in Ancient Italy and date back to 700BC. Technology has certainly come a long way since then.

The first known dentures were made from human or animal teeth by the ancient Etruscans in Ancient Italy and date back to 700BC. Technology has certainly come a long way since then.

This should be very encouraging for us all, knowing that as time moves on, so does the way we think and operate. Never more than the very surreal time we find ourselves in currently.

Denture wearers are often wary about how they will appear to other people and how well their dentures fit. Many are concerned about the fake appearance of their dentures, or the embarrassment they might cause if they dislodge during eating or laughing.

Fortunately, the materials and technology used to create dentures are constantly changing and improving and as a result dentures are looking more like natural teeth than ever before.

Therefore, it is important to find a denture clinic with a team that has the experience and skills required to deliver an amazing, natural smile – a clinic such as Denture Creations.

It can cater for all your denture requirements, with a friendly, highly qualified team that will make sure you receive the best care and advice from your initial consultation all the way through to your follow up care.

Denture Creations East Auckland clinic is modern and comfortable, and the team believe they have something special to offer all their clients. They are professional, experienced, authentic and above all - THEY REALLY CARE!

We are currently still closed but may be allowed to open for some restricted work at Level 3. Watch this space for an update later this week

Have you seen or heard of the movie, Hacksaw Ridge by Mel Gibson?
It tells the story of World War II American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, who served during the Battle of Okinawa, refuses to kill people, and becomes the first man in American history to receive the Medal of Honor without firing a shot.
Desmond Doss had a faith that ran so deep that it motivated him to serve in a hellish war, compelled him to give up his stretcher for another wounded man, and enabled him to suffer ridicule and persecution from those he would end up saving.
Take this on-line study that explores the faith of Desmond Doss and tells more about the man behind the story.
