A denture that fits
shouldn’t need adhesive.
Every denture here is custom-fabricated to your own anatomy — and you see a wax prototype before the final one is made, so changes happen while they are still easy.
Missing teeth change more than a smile.
Gaps let neighbouring teeth drift out of position. Jawbone resorption — the gradual loss of bone density — begins immediately after tooth loss. Bite function degrades over time as the remaining teeth take load they were never meant to carry.
A well-fitted denture or partial addresses all of that, not just the visible gap.
Dr. Kasabji and Dr. Engelhardt fit each prosthesis to the individual patient’s oral anatomy. Nothing here comes from a generic mould.
No adhesive required
A denture that fits properly stays in place on its own. Adhesive is what you reach for when the fit is wrong.
Shade selection, tooth mould, bite registration and ridge impression are all done against your facial proportions and how you actually chew — and ours are designed to that standard.
Full, or partial.
Five kinds, and they are not interchangeable.
Complete (full) dentures
Replace all teeth in the upper arch, lower arch or both. Supported by the gum tissue and the underlying bone ridge.
Partial dentures
For multiple missing teeth where some natural teeth remain. Attached to the existing teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments for stability.
Immediate dentures
Placed on the day of extraction, so you are never without teeth while healing. They need adjustment as healing progresses — the ridge changes shape underneath them.
Implant-supported dentures
Attached to implant posts. Significantly better stability and bite force, and they preserve jawbone in a way tissue-supported dentures cannot.
Overdentures
Fit over retained natural tooth roots or implants. More stable than a conventional tissue-supported denture, and they keep the roots working.
Which one is yours?
That is a clinical decision made from X-rays and the state of your bone — not from a price list. We evaluate implant-supported options at every consultation, with an honest comparison of stability, longevity and cost.
A multi-appointment process, on purpose.
Fit accuracy is the whole game. Rushing it produces a denture you fight with for years.
Evaluation
- Digital X-rays of remaining teeth, bone density and the underlying ridge
- Intraoral camera imaging of gum tissue and any teeth being retained
- Assessment of jawbone volume and ridge shape
- Implant-supported options compared openly
Impressions and try-in
- Detailed impressions of the upper and lower ridges
- Bite registration, so the denture restores the correct vertical dimension
- Shade and mould selection against your facial features and complexion
- A wax try-in to check fit, bite and appearance
Delivery
- Fitted, evaluated and adjusted when it arrives from the laboratory
- Daily cleaning and overnight storage explained properly
- Follow-ups booked for pressure points as it settles
- Insurance coordinated before your next visit — no billing surprises
Changes are made before it is made.
Every denture patient here sees a wax prototype before the final version is fabricated. Shade, tooth position and bite are adjusted at that stage — not after.
That matters more than it sounds. A finished denture is hard acrylic; the room for correction is small and every change is a compromise. Wax is soft. Move a tooth, change the length, try a different shade, and nothing is lost.
If it is not right at the try-in, it does not go to the lab.
What to say at the try-in
This is the appointment to be fussy at. Speak up about any of these and it costs nothing to change:
- The teeth look too long, too short, or too even
- The shade is brighter or duller than you expected
- Your lip sits oddly, or the smile looks too full
- The bite feels like it is closing too far, or not far enough
- It simply does not look like you
Being polite about something you are unsure of is the one thing worth avoiding here.
Answered honestly.

Before and after.
Comparing your options
Implant, bridge or denture — what each actually costs in money, time and comfort.
Dental implants
Anchored in bone, and the only option that stops the ridge shrinking.
Denture care
Keeping them clean, comfortable and fitting properly over the years.
Tooth extraction
When a tooth cannot be saved, and what happens the same day.
Bring in the denture you have.
If it clicks, rubs, or needs adhesive to stay put, that is fixable — sometimes with a reline rather than a remake. Worth an appointment before you put up with it another year.
