THE PROCESS OF GETTING YOUR DENTURES
Getting your removable dentures requires a few different steps. Making quality dentures is a mixture of science and art. The first step is to make an impression of your alveolar ridges in your mouth. Then, a dental laboratory can use this mold to make the base of the denture.
In the dental laboratory, a lab technician works with the dentist to pick out different kinds of prosthetic teeth. The goal is to make your removable teeth as realistic as possible. Once they choose the perfect set of teeth, they are ready to make the temporary dentures permanent.
When your dentist gives you the removable dentures, he or she will make sure that the upper and lower dentures come together properly. By coming together, they can stabilize each other. If your dentures are the perfect fit, you are ready to wear them home.
Remember that you may need to get new dentures in a few months. If you have just lost your teeth, you may lose some bone or tissue mass. This can mean that you have to get entirely new dentures, or your current denture can be re-lined. After your dentist finishes this process, you can enjoy having a cost-effective solution and a more beautiful smile.
