For more than thirty years, the Harrison Denture Clinic (HDC) has provided exceptional patient-focused care to residents in the Georgian Triangle region encompassing Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Thornbury, and Creemore. During this time, the HDC team has expertly crafted nearly 20,000 dentures, employing cutting-edge techniques, advanced materials and state-of-the-art technology.
The clinic offers an extensive array of services related to dentures and implants, catering to various needs. These services encompass complete dentures, a diverse range of partial dentures including flexible, discreet invisible clasp options, affordable acrylic solutions and precision cast partials. As well, the clinic specializes in crafting implant dentures with snap-down mechanisms, implanting teeth within a single day, and producing appliances to address snoring concerns. The HDC team also provides indispensable denture services such as repairs, adjustments, relines, and professional cleanings.
In the pursuit of optimal patient outcomes, HDC engages in ongoing collaboration with many local dental professionals, including dentists, oral surgeons, medical doctors, NDs, hygienists, chiropractors, and various specialists.
At the helm of the HDC team is Denturists Jim Harrison and Hayley Carr, supported by a dedicated team consisting of assistants Cynthia and Tara, laboratory technician Richard, and office manager Lisa. This cohesive team is committed to addressing the diverse and distinct needs of their patients.
These needs encompass individuals grappling with tooth loss due to accidents, trauma, tooth and gum diseases, systemic illnesses like cancer, and the subsequent surgical and non-surgical treatments, including radiation therapy. Among these patients are those who have endured tooth loss for extensive periods, alongside those who are embarking on the journey towards resolution. Many have contended with dental challenges since childhood, and now find solace in addressing these issues. These patients have experienced the pain and expenses tied to a range of dental interventions, spanning cavities, fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges, orthodontics, implants, and eventually extractions.
The experienced and knowledgeable team at HDC collaborates closely with each patient to devise tailored and optimal treatment plans. Jim Harrison says, "Our responsibility lies in lending an ear to our patients, validating their experiences, and working together to find the most fitting solution for their dental concerns. Partial or full dentures stand as the most economical means of replacing multiple missing teeth. We invest time in assessing individual oral conditions, tooth and gum structures, overall health prerequisites, dietary needs, aesthetic desires, smiles, bites, financial considerations, and overall appearances. Our ultimate aim is to rejuvenate their look and well-being, often achieved by the simple act of attentive listening."
He adds, “It’s important that patients already wearing dentures understand that these prosthetics have a finite lifespan; they're not immune to wear and tear. Over time, materials degrade, leading to staining and the buildup of harmful bacteria. Wearing outdated or improperly fitting dentures can significantly impact a person's overall health and quality of life. Fortunately, there exists an array of contemporary materials, methodologies, and technologies that can be harnessed to ensure dentures boast impeccable appearance, comfortable fit, and optimal functionality. Regular visits to the Denturist, as part of one's check-up regimen, are crucial. It’s also wise to consult your healthcare provider and Denturist regarding any medications that might affect fit and comfort.”
Rooted in patient-centred values, HDC embodies a genuine concern for the individuals it serves. This philosophy is the driving force behind the clinic's remarkable success over three decades - one patient at a time.
