ABOUT PETONE DENTAL LABS

Petone Dental Laboratory is a provider of High quality Full and partial dentures and occlusal splints operated by Steve Russell registered Clinical Dental Technician with 45 years’ experience keen to provide the same high-quality service as previously available at Pryor Dental Laboratories.

Petone Dental's Philosophy

What many dentists and patients don't realise is the restorative potential of a well-made denture. By preserving occlusion; providing aesthetics, facial support and phonetics, protecting against bone loss and restoring mastication, a denture can dramatically affect the patient’s quality of life.

We endeavour to provide the best fitting dentures with excellent aesthetics and function, within a reasonable time frame, with the best materials.

I am now providing Digital partial dentures that are 3D printed in high quality pure Cr Co alloy, designed by me on the computer and printed by AMS at Callaghan innovation, Seaview.

Absolute state of the art, thinner, lighter, stronger
