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.

If you enjoy my Newsletters and you have friends, colleagues, dental students, dental technicians, clinical dental technicians and postgraduate dentists that you think will appreciate them, please feel free to share them. 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.

If you’ve been on my 2 day complete denture course, I run a refresher revision day once a year at the practice £1,1154.

Please see details for future courses given by Finlay over the next year.

Wow. We’ve just wrapped up the May 2025 Partial Denture Course in Garstang, and I’m still buzzing from the energy in the room.

One delegate, Bryn Thompson (GDC 81202), described it in two words:

“Actually speechless.”

Why Kindness May Matter More Than Skill - VLOG

It’s a personal reflection called:

“Kindness from the dentist is more important than technical skill.” - Video

Over the years, I’ve come to realise that what truly matters to patients often isn’t just how clever we are with our hands – it’s how we make them feel.
