How to get a dental prosthesis you can forget about in everyday life

This article’s content is sponsored by irenetand.dk Needing a dental prosthesis is rarely something you decide from one day to the next. For most people, it’s not just about being able to chew properly again, but also about confidence—daring to smile in a family photo and being able to speak without thinking about it. That’s exactly why it matters so much who does the work. A prosthesis made with precision and fitted in close dialogue with you becomes a natural part of everyday life. A prosthesis that doesn’t fit properly becomes a daily irritation. At Irene Westergaard’s clinic on Vestre Alle in Aalborg, the starting point is 30 years of experience in clinical dental technology combined with an approach where there’s always room for both a good laugh and a serious conversation.

Experience and in-house laboratory

All products are made using the latest modern technology in the clinic’s own professional laboratory, led by Changiz Behnia with 17 years of experience. That’s an important detail, because it means the work isn’t sent on to an anonymous subcontractor. Corrections, adjustments and fine-tuning happen in the same place where the impressions are taken, making the path from idea to finished prosthesis both shorter and more precise. You get a dental technician in Aalborg with a focus on service, and you’re supported all the way through the process instead of being passed around between different people.

Solutions tailored to your mouth

No two mouths are the same, and that’s why there isn’t one prosthesis that fits everyone. The choice depends on how many teeth you’re missing, what your jaw looks like, and what you want aesthetically. The typical solutions are:

• Full denture, when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw need to be replaced
• Partial denture with a cast metal framework, also called Unitor, which clips onto the teeth you have left and provides a very natural-looking result
• Hybrid denture or press-stud denture, held in place by a snap-button system mounted on your own tooth roots or on implants

What these solutions have in common is that they can be made so natural-looking that people around you won’t notice you’re wearing a denture. The options are reviewed in an initial consultation, where your needs and your budget are mapped out before any decisions are made.

Digital impression in 90 seconds

An accurate impression is the foundation for prosthetics that actually work. Traditionally, the impression is taken using a rubbery plastic material placed in the mouth, which many people find uncomfortable—and one of the things that makes them put off the visit. Today, the clinic offers digital impressions with a scanner, and the process is over in just 90 seconds. It makes for a more comfortable experience, and at the same time the digital basis provides a highly precise template for the work that follows.

Repair, relining and maintenance

The work doesn’t stop when the prosthesis is delivered. The jaw changes over time, and a prosthesis that fit perfectly a few years ago can start to rub or feel loose. In that case, a reline can improve the fit, so you avoid having to invest in a completely new solution. If the prosthesis has cracked or been damaged, it can be repaired quickly because the laboratory is on site. It’s a good idea to have the fit checked as soon as you notice even the slightest change, rather than getting used to living with it.

Peace of mind all the way through

The clinic’s motto is simple: you should be satisfied before the work is finished. That means honest advice rather than standard solutions, and taking into account that the need for a prosthesis often comes at a time in life when there’s already plenty going on. Home visits are available if you find it difficult to get to the clinic, and there is also a financing scheme you can apply for if the cost needs to be spread over time. Prices for prostheses and repairs are provided in advance, so you know what to expect.
