Finlay's Case Presentation

This newsletter describes in step-by-step detail Mavis’s treatment stages with complete dentures

This 69 year old woman was referred herself to me for new complete dentures, following seeing an advert in a local community magazine.

Wish list
“Complete dentures which look like natural teeth”
“No pink gum showing, and the upper left lateral incisor overlapped slightly”
“I want people I meet to automatically assume I have natural teeth”
“I don’t want a ‘Hollywood’ smile.”

Following consultation, Mavis chose to have replacement upper and lower conventional dentures made.

The clinical situation and treatment process is shown in detail below with photographs. 5 visits were required for the treatment. 1 review after delivery was required. I (Finlay Sutton) provided the clinical work and Rowan Garstang provided the technical work.

In addition, if you or your colleagues would like to receive my Newsletters and Denture Blog by email, please let me know (education@finlaysutton.co.uk).

If you would like to learn exactly how to do this, please come on my 2 day complete denture course £2,889.60, limited attendance at the practice taught by me (Finlay - Clinician) and Rowan (Dental Technician) with a live patient demonstration. This is run twice a year.

Introducing Our Upcoming Textbook: Removable Partial Dentures

I’m thrilled to share that I’m currently writing a textbook on removable partial dentures (RPDs) with Dr. John Besford, my mentor, and an incredible prosthodontist who has profoundly shaped my journey in dentistry. John’s knowledge, passion, and skill have inspired me to view removable prosthodontics not just as a technical endeavor but as an art that, when mastered, can have a transformative impact on patients' lives. Working with him on this book has been a privilege and a wonderful learning experience.

Complete Denture Course: Hands-on Learning with Real-Life Insights from Kate, Our US Demo Patient

Last week, I ran another Complete Denture course using Kate, an American patient, as the demo case. We had delegates from the Netherlands, India, Romania, and Ireland. It was a fantastic two-day event packed with hands-on and hands-off demonstrations. Kate, who adapted brilliantly to her new dentures, shared her honest experiences with the group, giving real-life insights into wearing complete dentures. The course provided practical tips and techniques that can be immediately applied in clinical practice—great energy and engagement all around!
