If you are thinking about investing in dentures, it pays to know more about how the process goes and how long it will take till you have your new false teeth. Continue reading to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Long Does the Process Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The number of appointments required until you have your dentures depends on numerous different factors. The main thing that you need to consider is whether or not you have teeth or tooth roots that need to be extracted. If you aren\u2019t in need of either of those, you can probably expect to see your dentures in about 3 to 4 appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the Process for Getting Dentures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As much as you\u2019d like to be in an out of the office with a new smile, it doesn\u2019t work that way. Here are the different steps of the process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teeth Extractions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t required for every patient, but many are in need to have remaining teeth extracted from their mouth. After the procedure, the mouth will need several months to heal. Then, you and your dentist can move on with the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sizing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first step when it comes to creating dentures is getting impressions of the ridges for your mouth. Measurements will also be taken to ensure that the bite pattern is correct. This process may also include a wax mockup of the prosthetic teeth so the dentist can ensure that the dentures will fit correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjustments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each time that you visit the dental office, the mockup will need adjustments to ensure that the dentures will match the patient\u2019s facial features. Your prosthetic teeth will need to be the right length and width so that you don\u2019t end up with an unwanted altered appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denture Placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your dentures will be placed as soon as the final adjustments are complete. Sometimes, you may need additional adjustments made for optimal comfort and functionality. By communicating with your dentist about the fit of your dentures and any discomfort that you may have, any appropriate changes can be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won\u2019t get your dentures overnight, but having a new smile that fits comfortably in your mouth will be well worth the short wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
