Complete/Partial Dentures Fixing  

Complete or partial dentures are removable dental appliances that are designed to replace missing teeth and restore the appearance and function of your mouth.

They can be full or partial, depending on the number of missing teeth and the patient’s needs.

Steps involved in fixing complete or partial dentures:

1.Impressions: Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth and gums to create a mold of your mouth. This mold will be used to create a custom-fit denture that is unique to your mouth.

2.Wax try-in: Once the denture is fabricated, a wax try-in is done to check the fit and appearance of the denture. Adjustments are made as necessary until the denture feels comfortable and looks natural.

3.Final fitting: After any necessary adjustments are made, the denture is finalized and fitted in your mouth. Your dentist will check the fit and make any final adjustments to ensure that the denture is secure and comfortable.

4.Care and maintenance: Proper care and maintenance are essential to keeping your dentures in good condition. You should clean your dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner, and soak them in a denture cleaning solution overnight.

5.Follow-up appointments: Regular follow-up appointments with your dentist are important to ensure that your dentures continue to fit well and remain in good condition. Your dentist may also recommend adjustments or repairs as needed.

Adjusting to dentures may take some time, and you may experience some discomfort or difficulty speaking or eating initially. However, with proper care and practice, you can quickly adapt to your new dentures and enjoy a restored smile and improved oral function.
