Brampton Denture Clinic – Dentistry On Main

While each denture journey is unique, here are some typical milestones you could expect.

Teeth Extraction

Your dentist will take out the teeth that need to come out so that you can be properly fitted for your new denture.

Healing

Depending on how many teeth you have extracted, the time required for your gums to heal will vary. Your dental professional may give you a temporary set of partial dentures (also known as immediate partial dentures) until your permanent partials dentures are ready. Consult with your dentist for instructions during the healing phase.

The Mouth Impression

After your gums heal, your dentist will take a preliminary impression of your oral tissues, a final detailed impression, and then a master cast model of your mouth.

Choosing Your New Teeth

You and your dentist will choose from a range of tooth shapes, sizes, and colors that accurately fit your face and mouth. If you can, have a family member or friend be there to help you choose your new teeth. Once you and your dentist are pleased with the shape, size, and color of your teeth, your final partial dentures can then be completed.

Initial Fitting

This is when your new partial dentures will be placed in your mouth until your next visit. Your dentist will make any adjustments to ensure a proper fit..

The Importance of Well-Fitting Dentures

With proper care, a set of partial dentures can last for many years. During that time, it’s normal for the shape of your mouth to change, or you may find that the shape of your mouth changes as it heals from a tooth extraction. In this instance, your partial dentures may require rebasing or relining to secure a perfect fit. Contact your dentist if you’re feeling discomfort.

Regular Dental Exams

Remember, good oral health involves more than teeth, so visit your dentist regularly for oral health screenings. Visit your dentist at least once a year to ensure that your partial dentures continue to fit comfortably in your mouth. Additionally, if though you may not have any remaining natural teeth, your dentist will still continue to check on the overall health of your mouth.
