Dentures St Clair

Your First Appointment

At your first appointment, your dentures dentist will take moulds or impressions of your mouth so that a custom tray can be created.

Then, your dentist will go through the treatment process and give you advice on the choice of teeth and materials that best suit your individual needs and budget.

Custom-Made Tray

Secondary impressions are then taken using our custom-made, special trays, in addition to wax bites. These wax bites are taken to map out the relationship between your upper and lower jaw.

From this point, a trial denture is created to replicate your mouth’s shape and the positioning of the completed false teeth dentures.Your dentist will then assist you to select both the colour and the quality of your new denture.

Try on your dentures

Wax-based dentures are applied in your mouth to determine the appropriate fit, shape, and colour. Then, the final denture is crafted.

Your Final Appointment

A common sensation experienced by those who gets dentures for the first time is one of mild discomfort (many describe it as “odd” or “strange”). This is because your mouth, tongue, and facial muscles must learn to adapt to the shape and positioning of the false teeth dentures, however you can rest assured that it is a sensation that naturally resolves itself over a few weeks. In your final appointment your dentist will talk to you about aftercare and answer any questions you have.

Aftercare

Just like natural teeth, you should have regular check ups at Dental Society to ensure that your dentures, as well as your entire oral health, are in the best shape possible.
