Restoring Smiles,
Enhancing Confidence
Ashburton's trusted denture specialists. With over 20 years of clinical dental technology experience, we craft custom dentures that fit perfectly, look natural, and restore your confidence.
Premium Full Dentures
Each complete denture set is custom-crafted using premium-grade acrylics and ceramic teeth. We map your gum contours precisely, ensuring a snug, comfortable fit that looks and functions like natural teeth.
Natural Appearance
Our dentures are designed to complement your facial features, skin tone, and personal style. Premium ceramic teeth are individually selected and positioned for a smile that looks authentically yours.
Seamless Partials
Our partial dentures are precision-engineered to blend seamlessly with your remaining natural teeth. Using Valplast flexible resins and chrome-cobalt frameworks, we create partials that are comfortable, durable, and virtually invisible.
Precision-Fit Clasps
Our precision-fit clasps hold your partial denture securely in place while remaining discreet. Each clasp is individually adjusted to grip your natural teeth gently but firmly, ensuring stability when eating and speaking.
Custom-Fitted Mouthguards
Protect your teeth during contact sports with a mouthguard moulded precisely to your teeth. Unlike boil-and-bite shop guards, ours are vacuum-formed from professional-grade materials for a fit that stays secure through every tackle, hit, and impact.
Sport-Specific Protection
Whether you play rugby, hockey, basketball, or martial arts, we customise the thickness and coverage to match your sport. Dual-layer construction absorbs shock while allowing clear speech and easy breathing during play.
Comprehensive Denture Services
From new dentures to emergency repairs, our clinical dental technology team handles both manufacturing and clinical fitting of all dental appliances.
New Full Dentures
Complete sets custom-crafted to restore function and natural smile appearance, using premium materials for lasting comfort.
New Partial Dentures
Designed to blend seamlessly with your remaining natural teeth, restoring your complete smile with precision fitting.
Denture Additions
Fast addition of new teeth to your existing denture framework after extractions, saving you time and cost.
Emergency Denture Repairs
Prompt fixes for cracked bases, chipped prosthetic teeth, or broken clasps. Same-day service available.
Custom Mouthguards
Custom-fabricated sports mouthguards for protective oral impact safety, fitted precisely to your mouth.
Night Guards
Specialized preventative appliances for patients dealing with bruxism, protecting teeth from grinding damage.
Bruxism Night Guards
If you wake with jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth, you may be grinding in your sleep. Our custom night guards create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing damage while you rest comfortably.
Comfortable Fit, Lasting Protection
Each night guard is crafted from durable, medical-grade resin that is thin enough to sleep comfortably yet strong enough to withstand nightly grinding forces. Precision-fitted to your unique bite for maximum effectiveness.
Same-Day Repairs
Our on-site laboratory means most denture repairs are completed the same day. Cracked bases, chipped teeth, broken clasps — we handle it all with precision craftsmanship, getting your smile back quickly.
Denture Additions
Need new teeth added to your existing denture after an extraction? We can fast-add teeth to your current framework, saving you the cost of a completely new denture while restoring your complete smile.
Digital Scanning Technology
We use advanced intraoral scanners to capture a precise 3D map of your mouth — no more messy, uncomfortable impression trays. The digital scan is instantly available for design, meaning faster turnaround and a more accurate fit.
CAD/CAM Manufactured
Your denture is designed on screen using computer-aided design, then milled with sub-millimetre precision. This digital workflow eliminates human error at the modelling stage, giving you a denture that fits right the first time.
Advanced Denture Technology
We invest in the latest dental technology to deliver precise fittings, faster turnaround, and superior denture outcomes.
Digital Impressions
Advanced intraoral scanning for precise digital denture mapping, eliminating messy traditional moulds and ensuring a perfect fit every time.
Premium Materials
We use only the highest-grade acrylics, Valplast flexible resins, and ceramic teeth for dentures that look natural and last for years.
Same-Day Repairs
Our on-site laboratory means most denture repairs and adjustments can be completed the same day, minimising disruption to your life.
CAD/CAM Precision
Computer-aided design and manufacturing for denture bases that fit with millimetre accuracy, reducing adjustment visits and improving comfort.
Restore the Fit You Love
Over time, your gums naturally change shape, causing dentures to loosen. Our relining service reshapes the base of your existing denture to match your current gum contours — restoring that snug, secure fit without the cost of a brand-new set.
Same-Day Relining
Because we have our own on-site laboratory, we can reline your denture quickly — often within the same appointment. You walk in with a loose denture and walk out with one that fits like new.

"I was so nervous about getting dentures, but the team at Heritage made the whole process comfortable and straightforward. My new dentures fit perfectly and look completely natural. I can eat and smile with confidence again."
Margaret B.
Full Denture Patient
"After breaking my denture on a weekend, I was devastated. Heritage repaired it the same day I brought it in. The repair was seamless — you'd never know it had been broken. Absolutely brilliant service."
Robert K.
Emergency Repair Patient
"The custom mouthguard Heritage made for my son is leagues ahead of the boil-and-bite ones from the chemist. It fits perfectly, he wears it every game, and as a parent I have peace of mind knowing his teeth are protected."

Frequently Asked Questions
We believe in transparency and education. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often about denture care.
How long do dentures typically last?
With proper care, quality dentures typically last 5-10 years. Over time, your gums and jawbone naturally change shape, so periodic relining or replacement ensures continued comfort and fit. We recommend annual check-ups to assess the fit and condition of your dentures.
Will my dentures look natural?
Absolutely. We use premium ceramic teeth and high-grade acrylics that mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums. Each denture is custom-crafted to match your facial features, skin tone, and personal preferences. Most people won't be able to tell you're wearing dentures.
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
Most patients adjust to new dentures within 2-4 weeks. Initially, you may experience increased salivation and mild discomfort, but this subsides quickly. We provide detailed guidance on eating, speaking, and care to make the transition as smooth as possible. Follow-up adjustments are included.
Can you repair my dentures the same day?
Yes! Because we have an on-site laboratory, most denture repairs can be completed the same day. Cracked bases, chipped teeth, and broken clasps are common repairs we handle daily. Bring your denture in as soon as possible after damage occurs for the best repair outcome.
What is a Clinical Dental Technologist?
A Clinical Dental Technologist (CDT) is specifically trained in both the manufacturing and clinical fitting of dental appliances like dentures, mouthguards, and night guards. Unlike general dentists, a CDT specialises exclusively in removable prosthetics, offering expert-level care and craftsmanship.
Do I need a referral to visit Heritage Denture Clinic?
No referral is needed. You can contact us directly to book a consultation. We welcome new patients and offer free initial consultations to assess your needs and discuss the best treatment options for your situation.
