While your treatment plan will vary by your dentist, here are a few tips and some advice about what to expect with dentures.

Your first appointment and fitting

First, you will be asked to fill out a patient history form. Share any important medical and oral health information here, as well as a list of prescription and over-the-counter medications you’re taking and their amounts.

Impressions of your mouth will be taken to create permanent dentures. Extractions and other dental preparations will typically be performed at this time.

Transitioning to dentures may feel like a big, unexpected step. Your dentist can address any fears or concerns you may have about your treatment, and will take your issues seriously, no matter how big or how small. While the idea of dentures may take some getting used to, many patients quickly enjoy the benefits dentures have to offer.

Fast, convenient service

All Aspen Dental practices are equipped with on-site denture labs right in the office. That means your dentist and denture technicians can work together to give you a comfortable fit and faster service.

Same-day relines and repairs For those who are already wearing dentures, many denture repairs and adjustments can be done while you wait.

Getting used to your new dentures

Making the transition to dentures may take some time but with time, proper care, and regular adjustments, your dentures will soon feel more natural. Your Office Manager will help you determine what denture products are best for you and show you how to properly care for your dentures and mouth at home.

We’ll check in with you in the weeks after you’ve been fitted with your permanent dentures to see how you’re doing. In the meantime, feel free to call your Aspen Dental practice if you’re having any issues.

You’ve been living with your dentures for a while – what’s next?

Over time, your mouth will naturally change shape and your dentures will wear down. Eventually, you’ll likely need to visit your Aspen Dental practice for a reline or repair of your dentures.

Same-day adjustments are possible, whether you’re an existing patient or not—just call ahead for an appointment for the fastest service. Your dentures may also need to be rebased—your Aspen Dental practice can do that, too.

Dentists at Aspen Dental practices recommend replacing your dentures every 5-7 years. Normal denture wear and tear can cause your jawbone to shrink, irritate your gum tissues and cause infection, and make chewing and swallowing food difficult, which then affects your digestive system. It is important to remember that your oral health can affect your overall health.

Preparing for dentures in four simple steps

Every patient’s journey is different. Here are the key steps to remember.

1. Impressions

To start the process, your Doctor makes a model of your mouth. This may involve pre-sized trays, or for replacement full dentures, the doctor may choose your existing dentures as a custom fitted tray.

2. Bite registration

The Doctor will ask you to bite into wax blocks and take measurements so that your new teeth are placed correctly in the denture. This makes certain your jaw will function as it always has with your new teeth.

3. Wax try-in

This is a preview of your new teeth set in wax, before final processing of your denture. Your Doctor will ensure the proper function of the denture, and together you will check that the size, shape, and position of the teeth look natural to you.

4. Insert

If extractions are needed, a complete or partial denture will be placed in your mouth the same day your natural teeth are removed.

How long does it take to get dentures after impressions?

After your mouth heals, your Denturist will take impressions of your mouth, design the dentures, have you try them on, and then finally give you the completed dentures. The process to construct a complete denture takes 3 to 4 weeks, and 4 to 5 weeks for a partial denture.

Can dentures be made in one day?

Immediate dentures, unlike regular dentures, are made before tooth extraction. With immediate dentures, you never have to leave the dental office without teeth. That's because immediate dentures, as the name suggests, allow for extractions and dentures in the same day.
