FREE DENTURE NAMING SERVICE
To avoid getting dentures mixed up when they have been found, it is possible to get dentures named. This service normally costs £20 per denture set, but this would be available free to all the service users in the home as part of the denture service. This would help to reduce oral cross infection risks when service users try the wrong dentures, when looking for theirs.
FREE SCREENING AND MANAGERS REPORT FOR THE CARE HOME
Kent Dentures can provide you a free annual screening program with plan for the service users who are denture wearers within the home. This will provide you with evidence to show that everything is being done to support service users with their denture need. We will offer free written quotations for our home visit service to those who require repairs/religns or can make referral to the NHS community dental service (for those that qualify) for those individuals who require treatment from a dental surgeon.

FREE MINI-PRESENTATION ON DENTURE CARE AND INFECTION CONTROL FOR SERVICE USERS
We have been providing talks within day services across Kent in association with AgeUk. We can provide a brief 5 minute presentation with tips on denture care and infection control. We have found this to be very helpful and informative to service users who are still responsible for their own denture care.
FREE CONSULTATION AND WRITTEN QUOTATION ON NEW DENTURES AND REPAIRS.
Kent Dentures provides a community home visit service to patients in their own homes (inc care homes). We provide free consultations and free written quotations for patients. Kent Dentures is a private service rather than a NHS service. For many dentures are a band 3 treatment which attract a contribution from the patient which currently is over £200. Private denture services are very common due to the increased quality of product and service which is usually seen as being more cost efficient in the long term. As we are a community based service we have developed a business model that doesn’t require a costly treatment location which allows competitive treatment costs. Consultation and Written Quotation are free and there is obligation for any patient to agree to any services. We support the positive choice of service users.
