Getting full or partial dentures (partials) involves several steps to ensure a proper fit and comfortable function. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the process:
- An initial consultation during which your dentist assesses your oral health and discusses which tooth replacement options, including full dentures or partials, are suitable for you.
- Your dentist takes impressions (molds) of your mouth to create precise models of your teeth and gums.
- Based on these models, a trial set of dentures is made. This allows your dentist to assess fit, shape, and color and make necessary adjustments.
- Once all the adjustments are made, and you and your dentist are satisfied with the fit and appearance, the final set of dentures or partial is fabricated.
- You will receive your final denture, and your dentist will provide instructions on proper care, including cleaning routines and what to expect during the adjustment period.
- To help you acclimate to your new dentures, your dentist will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor fit and make necessary adjustments.
By following this process, your dentist ensures that your dentures or partials fit well, function properly, and restore your smile effectively.
