What to expect when getting dentures

Learn about the process of getting dentures and partial dentures, from initial consultation to the custom fitting and final placement. Discover how dentures can restore your smile, improve chewing, and enhance your overall oral health with a comfortable and natural-looking solution.

  1. Consultation and Examination: Your dentist will conduct a thorough examination to evaluate your oral health and discuss the most suitable options for dentures or partial dentures.
  2. Impression Taking: Detailed impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth are made to create a precise model, which will be used to craft your custom dentures or partial dentures.
  3. Tooth Extraction (if necessary): If any remaining teeth need to be removed before fitting the dentures, extractions will be performed, followed by a healing period.
  4. Try-In and Adjustments: A wax model of the dentures is made and tried in your mouth to check for fit, comfort, and appearance. Adjustments are made as needed.
  5. Final Denture Fabrication: Once the fit is confirmed, the final dentures are crafted using durable, high-quality materials.
  6. Fitting and Placement: The final dentures or partial dentures are fitted and adjusted for comfort and proper function. Your dentist will ensure that your bite is correct and that the dentures are comfortable.
  7. Follow-Up and Care Instructions: After placement, your dentist will provide instructions on how to care for your dentures and schedule follow-up visits to ensure they continue to fit well.

When do you need dentures

Find out if dentures or partial dentures are right for you. Ideal for individuals with multiple missing teeth or complete tooth loss, dentures provide a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution to restore your smile and oral functionality.

  • Individuals with Multiple Missing Teeth: Dentures are suitable for those who have lost several or all of their teeth, whether due to decay, gum disease, or injury.
  • Good Oral Health: Candidates should have a healthy oral environment, with gums that are in good condition to support the dentures.
  • Patients Seeking Non-Invasive Options: For those who prefer not to undergo surgery for dental implants, dentures provide a less invasive alternative.
  • Individuals with Structural Jawbone Loss: Dentures are often recommended for those who have experienced jawbone loss, as they do not require as much bone structure as implants.
  • Commitment to Maintenance: Candidates must be committed to properly maintaining their dentures, including regular cleaning and follow-up visits to the dentist.
