We start the denture process by taking impressions of both your gums and teeth. Most often, we can do this digitally to reduce or remove the amount of traditional impressions you need. We then send these impressions to a local lab where your new appliance is created for you. Depending on the type of appliance you need, you may need a couple visits to take measurements and try in your appliance. Most dentures and partials can be completed between two to six weeks. You will need to remove the denture nightly to keep it looking its best, to clean it properly, and to keep your gum tissue healthy. Most dentures are able to last for many years depending on how well they are cared for during that time and how rough you are when wearing the prosthetic.
If you think you might benefit from a denture or partial, call us today and we can get you in for a convenient consultation.
