No more denture pain: Village Denture Studio
Gone are the days when dentures were ill-fitting, outdated and worst of all, painful.
Advanced digital technology means that dentures today are a world away from the dentures of old. Back in the day, traditional denture-making involved uncomfortable, messy impression material in the mouth. Today, though, all that is gone, says clinical dental technician Jimmy Chao of Village Denture Studio in Prebbleton.
“From your first visit, you will notice the difference,” Jimmy says. “Our process begins with a non-invasive oral scanner that captures highly accurate images of the mouth and gums – all with no pain or foul taste in your mouth. This data is then used in sophisticated CAD software to design your custom dentures. A 3D printer creates a trial model to confirm accuracy before final production using a high-precision German-engineered milling machine.”
This technology ensures a precise fit and superior comfort for every client requiring partial or full dentures.
“We tailor your dentures like a fine, custom-made suit. The final product is then meticulously hand-polished and hand-crafted,” Jimmy says.
“We can achieve the perfect result within just three to four visits over four weeks, with the team focusing on precision and comfort. Sometimes, little tweaks and changes need to be made to ensure function and a natural smile,” Jimmy explains.
With over 15 years of expertise with state-of-the-art digital tools, Village Denture Studio is committed to quality and accessibility. With clinics in Prebbleton and Invercargill, the studio’s dentures are crafted for long-term durability, typically lasting ten years or more, with a curated selection of denture teeth and materials ranging from budget-friendly to premium German engineered options.
