What to Expect
The First Time
For many, dentures are just a part of everyday life and if your dentist or prosthetist has advised you to consider them as one of your false teeth options. You are not alone. Millions of people wear dentures, helping them to eat, speak and smile with confidence every day
Adapting To Dentures
Once your denture is fitted, it may feel strange at first, but this is normal and your mouth, tongue and facial muscles will get used to it. Everyday tasks such as eating and speaking, may take a little practice but take it slow and you’ll be back to yourself in no time. We can advise you on products – such as denture adhesives and cleansers – that will have you feeling a lot more confident while wearing your denture.
How Long Does It Take To Get Dentures?
It may only take a few months from your first appointment to the day where you’ll feel fully at ease with your new dentures. You should expect to make four or five appointments with your dental prosthetist over a period of three to five weeks, but this does vary from person to person. By making regular dental appointments after your dentures are fitted, this will help to ensure they stay in good condition, along with the rest of your mouth. Having your dentures fitted offers plenty of benefits and the process isn’t as complicated as you might imagine. Once you’re fully fitted for your new denture, you can be ready to enjoy life to the full.

Steps Of Fabricating Your Denture

1. CONSULTATION DAY

We will take a confidential medical and dental history from you, and then assess your denture needs. As you are very much involved in this procedure, we encourage you to ask as many questions as you wish. We will let you know if any extractions need to be done if it's necessary at the consultation. Insurance estimate quotes is available by submitting report to your insurance company for approval.

2. DENTURE FABRICATION STARTS

When the estimate quote is ready and you ready to start, we will start the first steps of planning/designing your denture. Dental impressions will be taken at this stage. It would be necessary to have in average 4 appointments and 4~6 weeks to manufacture depending on the types of denture. We require a 30~50% deposit before starting treatment in which, so you can divide up the payment until the denture insertion day.

3. APPEARANCE CHECK

Before any of our dentures are finished, we have to be certain that you are happy with them. Our focus is on comfort, fit and function but also appearance is of the utmost importance. A 'wax' model of your denture will be made for you to try in to check the fit and appearance. At this stage, the teeth can be moved around and made to look more natural. Once you are happy with the look of the teeth, only then will they be completed.

4. INSERTION DAY / PATIENT EDUCATION

You have a Brand New Smile !!
After your dentures have been fitted for insertion day. Full instruction of proper denture care will be given. You may end up with sore spots in the first couple of months. Don't worry. Adjustment service is included with any new dentures made here.

We recommend that you have your denture examed once a year at least.
A check on the structural integrity of your denture. A check on the fit of the denture. If sore spots are detected, minor adjustments will be performed during this appointment. A thorough examination of your oral health including your gums and oral tissues.
