Which type of denture is best for me?

If you need a denture, you have two options: immediate or conventional. Immediate dentures are processed after teeth extraction whereas a conventional denture is placed in the mouth after about 8 to 12 weeks after extraction. These are the permanent dentures, whereas immediate dentures are temporary. They are lighter than conventional dentures to allow the gums to heal properly. However, some people do wear them for years.

What is the process involved in making a denture?

Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums and determine which type of denture is appropriate for you. He’ll create a series of impressions, check your bite, and observe the movement of your jaw. He will also create models, wax forms, and patterns and check the exact shape and position of the dentures. The final model of your denture will be sent to laboratory for processing. Once the dentures are ready, the dentist will make the necessary adjustments so you can wear the new replacement teeth.

Take care of your dentures like your natural teeth. Continue with your usual oral routine by cleaning them regularly.

You need to adjust with your new denture while you talk and eat. To use to your “new teeth,” you need to start with soft diet by cutting or slicing the food in small pieces.
