The Process to a Complete Smile
The road to dentures is simple and relatively fast. Unlike other restorative procedures that can take months, you’ll have your dentures in a matter of weeks.
The process is simple and can be completed in a few steps:
- During your consultation, Dr. Hindi will examine your oral health to ensure you’re a good candidate for dentures
- You’ll pick the shade of your dentures, measurements will be taken, and a mold will be made and sent to the lab. Your dentures will be crafted to the exact specifications
- Once your dentures arrive, you’ll come in for a fitting and we’ll make any last adjustments
- You’ll leave our office with your new smile
Denture Care
Caring for your dentures is simple and can easily be incorporated into your routine. To get the most out of your dentures, you’ll want to follow a few steps:
- Handle your dentures with care because porcelain tends to be fragile
- Remove and rinse dentures after eating
- Brush your dentures daily
- Avoid hot liquids that can warp your dentures
- Soak dentures overnight
- Store dentures in a protective container away from children and pets
- Schedule biannual appointments
- Contact our office If you have a loose fit or develop a sore
In addition to these tips, you’ll want to continue a healthy oral hygiene routine by brushing your gums, tongue, and roof of your mouth with a soft-bristled toothbrush every morning. When you first get your dentures, it may take some time to adapt to the new appliance, but the more you practice, the easier it will be to adjust.
