Hi Hollie.
I stumbled upon your page on the LH community page. I am a dentist, and apologies that I wish to remain anonymous.
I would like to let you know that Hutt hospital definitely do full clearance (removal of all teeth). It really depends on how your referral letter is written and done. I read that your GP has done a letter.
As a dentist, I have no issues referring patients (community service card holders) to the hospital as long as they are eligible. It may pay to check with your GP again, and make sure he/she is sending the letter to the DENTAL DEPARTMENT of Hutt hospital. I cannot remember their email address on top of my head, but I am happy to check once I am back at my surgery on Monday.
Once all of your teeth are removed, wait for 3 months healing before making your denture.
All the best.
