TF Dental Prosthetics Ltd was established in 1996 by Tim Foster Dip CDT RCS (Eng), RDT. He served his five-year apprenticeship and studied at South London College until 1992 to complete his BTEC National Diploma in Dental Technology. He then furthered his technical knowledge by obtaining a Higher National Certificate in Advanced Crown and Bridge, Precision Attachments, Prosthodontics and Implantology in 1995. In 2011 Tim became a Clinical Dental Technician after completing the first ever CDT course run in this country. As a result we also opened Southbourne Grove Denture Clinic a purpose built fully equipped dental surgery and onsite laboratory, www.sgdentureclinic.co.uk.
Today Tim employs 5 other registered/ qualified technicians, two apprentice technicians, two dental auxiliaries, a dental nurse, a delivery driver and a secretary. We became the first prosthetics laboratory in Essex to achieve DAMAS certification in 2005 and have been revalidated each year since. We are located below PM Dental Ceramics Ltd and also have links with JW Dental Ceramics Ltd which allows us to offer daily collection and deliveries throughout Essex, East London and Central London.

You know how you want your teeth to look; you have an ideal image in your mind. During the consultation, we pay attention to what you say, and take this into account when we make your dentures. We explain the suitability of the materials, show you the makes of teeth, and if there are technical problems we will explain them with you. If you have none of your own teeth or implants present you can see a Clinical Dental Technician directly. If you have even 1 tooth present you must see a dentist first and be referred.
Consultations can be arranged directly or by referral from your dentist if required.
