Dental 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 dental dentures:
Impressions: The impressions of the teeth and gums will be taken to create a mold of your mouth. This mold will be used to create a custom-fit denture.
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.
Final fitting: After any necessary adjustments are made, the denture is finalized and fitted in your mouth.
Care and maintenance: Proper care and maintenance are essential to keep 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.
Follow-up appointments: Regular follow-up appointments are important to ensure that your dentures continue to fit well and remain in good condition.
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.
