Even after 32 years in clinical practice, I still get caught out. In this blog, I share a recent case that reminded me just how unpredictable working with humans can be—and why I’ve decided to reintroduce a simple try-in sign-off form for complete dentures. It’s about trust, clarity, and learning the hard way (again).
Join me on Thursday 19th June 2025 at 07:30am (UK time) for a free Zoom session. I’ll walk through Paul’s full case — an upper complete denture and a lower Locator-retained overdenture inspired by Clark Gable’s smile.
We’ll cover the step-by-step treatment, technical challenges, and practical lessons learned.
Everyone is welcome — ask any questions, even the simplest ones.
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.”
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.
