Are you anxiously awaiting your appointment for new dentures at Classic Denture Center in Portland OR? Today, denturist Tanya Poleon explains a few aspects of the process to help put your mind at ease.
Once you begin the process, it is likely that you will have multiple visits for measurements and fittings to ensure that when you finally get your dentures, they fit and look amazing.
Here is what you can expect throughout the process of getting new dentures:
Step 1-Taking Measurements: The first thing that your denturist will do is take impressions of your mouth using a putty-like material. They will also assess how your upper and lower jaws relate to one another and measure the space between them.
Step 2-Creating the Initial Cast: The impressions and measurements are used to create the new teeth set in wax. When the initial denture is ready, you will return to determine if the fit, shape, and color fit your needs.
Step 3-The Final Denture Cast: Once you and your denturist are both completely satisfied with how your dentures look, fit, and feel, the final version is crafted.
It is important to continue regular checkups, even after you have your new dentures. Once you start wearing your new dentures, there will be an adjustment period.
