Hi, I’m Dr. Achillefs Sotiriou, and I’m proud to be part of the team here at The Old Surgery Dental Practice. I have been working at the practice for many years and then became Partner/Principal in May 2024. I brought my passion for dentures and now predominantly treat most of the cases at the practice.

I understand how challenging it can be to wear full or partial dentures, especially when it comes to comfort, eating, and speaking. That’s why I am committed to providing you with solutions that not only improve your experience but also help you feel confident and comfortable every time you smile.

At The Old Surgery Dental Practice, I offer bespoke dentures tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance. With extensive training in both fixed and removable prosthodontics, I bring a high level of expertise and craftsmanship to every set of dentures I create.

I take great care to design dentures that are not only functional but also complement the natural shape of your face. Using the latest digital technologies, including 3D printing, I ensure a precise and accurate design that will provide you with dentures that look great, feel comfortable, and stand the test of time.

During your consultation, I’ll guide you through every step of the process, answering any questions you may have, from the fitting to the aftercare. I’ll also discuss how we can keep your dentures looking and functioning at their best, so you can continue enjoying life without worry.

If you’re ready to take the next step towards a better smile and improved comfort, please book an initial consultation. I’m here to ensure that your denture treatment is a positive experience, with long-lasting results that leave you smiling with confidence.

Dentures have a long history, dating back to ancient civilizations where various materials were used to replace missing teeth, we can only assume the reason was most likely practical for chewing and biting and no doubt, due the materials used, were probably only made for the wealthiest ‘smilers’. The earliest dentures were made from ivory, bone, and even human teeth. In the 18th century, famous figures like George Washington were believed to wear dentures made from a combination of ivory, gold, and lead, though many myths suggest they were made from wood. While this is not true, Washington’s dentures were certainly a product of the best dental technology available at the time. Over the centuries, denture materials have evolved, with modern dentures being made from acrylic, porcelain, and other more durable, comfortable materials.

So, rather like us at The Old Surgery Dental Practice, we too utilise the best available dental technology and materials avilable.
