About Creative Chrome

Creative Chrome was founded in 2002 by Steve and Janet King, and has since been building a reputation for the production of high-quality dental prosthetics. The company has since expanded with the partnership of their son, David.

The laboratory is situated within a Victorian model farm courtyard complex in an area of outstanding natural beauty close to the national heritage coastal path, the river Otter and the sea. The farm complex, owned by Clinton Devon Estates, recently won an award for the innovative conversion of the redundant farm buildings into a thriving business community. Other businesses at the site include an art studio, a tea and coffee merchant and the farm shop. This setting is ideally suited to the main aim of the business, which is to produce quality work with a friendly service for the discerning private client.

Creative Chrome takes professional development seriously. To preserve the standards of the laboratory, the technical staff attend various courses on advanced denture design. Our technicians are also regular attendees at the National Dental Technicians Conference.

Double Arm Swing-lock

Figure 1: class 3 jaw relationship, left-hand side

This case was first presented to Steve in 1993. The patient has a class 3 bite, as seen in figs 1,2 and 3, and wanted a denture made to present a class 1 appearance. Previous attempts had failed because the anterior teeth needed to be set so far forward of the ridge that they destabilised the whole appliance even with clasps. The challenge was to manufacture an upper denture that would be at once cosmetically pleasing, retentive and stable.
