The denture acquisition process involves multiple appointments spread across several weeks. Detailed and precise impressions are taken, serving as the foundation for crafting your personalized denture. Several “try-in” sessions may be required to ensure the optimal shape, color, and fit. During the final appointment, the completed denture is meticulously adjusted and placed to guarantee a natural and comfortable fit. It’s common to experience increased saliva flow, mild soreness, and potential difficulties in speech and chewing initially. However, these discomforts typically diminish as your muscles and tissues acclimate to the new dentures. Care instructions for your dentures will be provided. Proper maintenance, including regular cleaning, practicing good oral hygiene, and attending scheduled dental visits, will contribute to the longevity of your new dental appliance.

Removable partial dentures are a viable solution for replacing or filling in for a limited number of missing teeth in either your upper or lower jaw, especially when some natural teeth are still present. On the other hand, complete dentures, also referred to as full dentures or conventional dentures, are removable prosthetic teeth designed to replace the entire set of teeth. Full dentures become necessary when a patient has no remaining teeth in either the upper or lower jaws. The choice between partial and complete dentures depends on your specific needs and preferences.
