Our entire denturist team is BPS® certified, bringing a personalized approach to every denture we create. Through precise clinical measurements and carefully selected materials, we design dentures around your natural smile, comfort and daily life.
For more than 25 years, our founder and co-owner, Michelle Nelson, has shared her knowledge as an instructor for Ivoclar’s BPS® denture system. Her love of the craft and dedication to teaching have become a treasured part of Pacific Denture Centre’s story—a tradition of care and attention to detail that continues with every smile we create.
From your first impressions to your final fitting, your denturist considers your bite, jaw relationships, facial proportions and lip support. Your preferences help guide the tooth shade, shape and arrangement, creating a smile that feels right for you.
BPS®—Biofunctional Prosthetic System—is Ivoclar’s coordinated system of clinical techniques, equipment and materials for creating personalized dentures. These established principles also form the foundation of Ivoclar’s digital denture workflow.
At Pacific Denture Centre, we combine this approach with digital design and our Ivoclar PrograMill PM7, a precision five-axis milling machine. Your clinical records guide the design, and the PM7 mills your denture components from industrially manufactured material discs, often called pucks. Your denturist then finishes and assesses your denture for fit, bite and appearance.
We use the full range of Ivoclar denture milling discs, allowing us to select the materials and fabrication approach suited to your treatment:
Ivotion: Combines tooth-coloured and gum-coloured materials in one disc, allowing a complete denture to be milled as a single piece without a separate bonding step between the teeth and base.
Ivotion Base: A strong, high-impact acrylic used to mill customized denture bases.
Ivotion Dent: A wear-resistant tooth material with natural fluorescence and translucency.
Ivotion Dent Multi: A multilayered tooth material with a gradual colour transition that helps recreate the appearance of natural teeth.
Your denturist selects the appropriate combination based on your clinical needs, denture design and esthetic goals.
Milling from preprocessed discs avoids the acrylic-curing shrinkage that can occur during conventional denture fabrication. This helps accurately reproduce the planned denture shape.
Digital design also allows careful control of tooth positioning and denture contours. Combined with detailed impressions, accurate bite records and an individual fitting, this supports a comfortable, functional result.
Personalized fit: Your denture is designed using records of your mouth and bite.
Natural-looking appearance: A choice of tooth materials, shades and arrangements helps create a smile suited to your features.
Strength and wear resistance: Quality Ivoclar materials are selected for everyday function and durability.
Your denturist will explain the available treatments and associated fees so you can make an informed choice. We bring together clinical experience, digital precision and personal attention to help you eat, speak and smile with confidence.
