Sponsored: Putting joy back into people’s smiles

Sue Merrick, the dedicated and passionate force behind The Denture Clinic, brings her wealth of expertise in dental prosthetics to the community.

With more than 30 years of experience in the field, including 15 years working as a dental technician before undergoing advanced training in Dunedin, Sue has honed her skills to provide the best care possible.

Her career, which she describes as both rewarding and sometimes challenging, is one she loves deeply. “Clients need dentures for so many different reasons,” says Sue. “I love being able to help people regain their confidence and self-esteem through a smile they can be proud of.”

Sue and her husband discovered their love for the Nelson region 12 years ago during a visit. Captivated by its natural beauty and the friendly community, they knew it was only a matter of time before they would call it home. With the family now living in the area, the couple decided to make their dream of relocating to the region a reality.

In February, Sue and her husband moved to Tākaka from the North Island, where she has been able to offer her renowned services across the district.

“Dentures are more than just a functional appliance – they need to fit well, work well, and seamlessly integrate into a person’s face,” Sue explains. “It takes time, skill, and care to get that right.”

The Denture Clinic is conveniently located in Nelson’s Montgomery Square, Motueka’s High Street and at Golden Bay Health Centre by appointment only, and offers a comprehensive range of services.

These include full and partial dentures, denture repairs, custom-made mouthguards, and much more.

Whether it’s a minor adjustment or a complete smile transformation, Sue’s commitment to each client is evident in every step of the process. From the first consultation to the final fitting and detailed aftercare, Sue ensures that her clients receive the highest standard of care. Her goal is to help people look and feel their best, all while providing a compassionate and understanding approach.

What truly sets Sue apart is her warm personality and the genuine care she extends to each of her clients.

She treats everyone like family, ensuring that every experience at The Denture Clinic is comfortable, supportive, and tailored to meet individual needs. “Every smile is unique,” says Sue. “I take the time to listen to my clients and understand their goals, making sure the final result is something they are completely happy with.”

Whether you’re in need of a denture repair, a new set of dentures, or a custom mouthguard, Sue Merrick is ready to help you rediscover the confidence that comes with a beautiful smile.
