How Long Do Dentures Take in Manila?

If you have recently had surgery or tooth extraction, it is recommended you wait for your gums to heal for a few months before you have a permanent denture. If your gums are healed your dentures can be usually be created and fitted in just a couple of days.

Having dentures fitted after extractions:

If you do have extractions, a non-permanent "healing denture" will be fitted in the meantime. It is lighter than a permanent denture and allows the gums to heal; you will need to wear it for around three months.

When you are ready for your permanent dentures, your dentist will discuss the options for the various materials at your first appointment. The different materials will affect the price and there are other pros and cons which, along with your dentist’s advice, may influence your decision.

For example, acrylic dentures are considerably lighter than porcelain and gentle on your teeth and gums. However, they are not as durable. Porcelain dentures have a very natural appearance, but they are more expensive than acrylic.

Once you have made your decision on the materials, impressions will be made of your mouth and sent to the lab to make your dentures. When your dentist will receive your new dentures from the lab (one or two days, or even same-day with CAD/CAM technology), and you will return to have them fitted. Your dentist will make sure they fit well and that you are happy with them before you leave the office.
