How Your Dentures Will Be Created

Our dentures are a wonderful dental replacement for anyone who is missing any number of teeth. Our dentures are precisely created to fit your mouth snugly and comfortable. Dentures can provide you with protection from the damage to your dental structure and bones that can occur when teeth are not present. You will also be able to eat with your new dentures, and they will allow for easy speech. For anyone who is in need of a dental replacement, we encourage you to learn more about dentures, how they are created, and how they can help you. 

A General Overview of How Dentures are Created

Before having your dentures made, we will perform an examination and review your dental history. We will take a thorough look at your oral tissues and an x-ray of your jawbone to ensure that your dental foundation is still secure. We will then take measurements and notes that will help us to lay out a map of your mouth for the fabrication process of your dentures. After the mapping process, we will make preliminary and final impressions of your gums and teeth that will be turned into a mold. All of this information will also be used to create your customized dentures.

Once your dentures are fabricated, we will schedule another appointment for you to come in and try on your dentures. We will examine how your dentures fit on your gums and with any remaining teeth. We will determine if the measurements we took have created accurate results. We will also evaluate your bite and whether or not the dentures seem to be drifting.

If needed we will make the adjustments that are required for your dentures to fit properly. We never want our patients to feel uncomfortable with the fit of their dentures because this can cause a variety of irritations and issues. If you are satisfied with the fit and feel of your dentures, this will complete your dentures creation and placement process. We will go over a few care guidelines before you leave so you will be able to keep your dentures in the most functional shape possible for several years of use.

What to Expect After Your Dentures are Placed

Once your dentures are in place, you may have to allow yourself time to become comfortable with speaking. Having dentures in your mouth may create a lisp at first, but with practice it will make it easier to talk. You will also need to get used to cleaning your dentures thoroughly every day so they can provide you with function for an extended time.

Our dentures will provide aesthetic value and smile maintenance. They will also help the shape of your face to remain intact while reducing unneeded pressure on any remaining teeth. Dentures will allow you to have a full set of quality teeth again in a short period of time with a minimally invasive process.
