The Process of Getting Dentures

Getting dentures is a multi-step process that involves several visits to the office. Here are the steps of the process.

​

1. Consultation: The first step in getting dentures is to schedule an appointment. During the consultation, Bill will examine your gums and discuss the options available to you.

 

2. Impressions: We will take impressions of your gums. This involves placing a clay-like material in a tray and inserting it into your mouth to create a mold of your gums.

 

3. Bite registration and vertical restoration: We will take a bite registration to determine the correct alignment of your teeth when you close your mouth. We also do an in-depth assessment of your bite and vertical to restore any lost distance due to bone, tissue, or tooth loss.

 

4. Fabrication: Based on the impressions and bite registration, we will create a wax model of the denture. This model is used to make the final denture right here in our lab. We can fabricate your teeth faster and more efficiently than a general dentist because we make your dentures from start to finish in our lab.

 

5. Delivery: When the denture is ready, you will return to the office. We will check the fit of the denture and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that it fits comfortably.

 

We complete multiple visits in one day which cuts the waiting time for your dentures in half. Your time is valuable to us and completing multiple visits in one day saves on your gas and time, especially when traveling from a distance. However, the end result is a set of dentures that are custom-made to fit your mouth and improve your smile and oral health.
