Bespoke Dentures

Denture Consultation

The denture options best for your particular gaps, concerns and lifestyle will be discussed.

Primary impressions/Scan

At this appointment the dentist will record the position of the remaining teeth and the shape of the mouth.

Teeth preparation

You may require this appointment to provide any adaptations that may be needed to your teeth, in order for the denture to fit more snuggly with the remaining teeth.

Definitive impressions

These are the final impressions from which your mouth moulds will be made and from which your dentures will be created. There are an accurate fit of your mouth.

Jaw registration

This stage records the position of your jaws and the type of ‘bite’ that you naturally have. This is unique to each individual and the more accurately this is assessed, the more comfortable your dentures will feel when you use them to chew. This is a very technical part of the process. A shade for your teeth will also be selected at this stage and any particular cosmetic features will also be recorded to allow your denture teeth to appear natural to you.

Trial dentures

A ‘mock-up’ of your dentures will be created in wax and made available for you to ‘try’. These are not the final set, but allow for any changes to be made. Here you and your dentist will be checking for any cosmetic alterations, and how well the dentures allow you to chew and bite. Changes can be made following this assessment, before the dentures are set into their durable and permanent material, ready for the final fit.

Final fit of denture

At this stage too, changes can still be made and are often required to ease the dentures into your mouth. Full instructions regarding denture care and hygiene will be given. You will then be asked to take them away and use them and function with them for further assessment of their comfort. The proof is in the pudding!

For most people, changes will still be required and small tweaks are easy to make. This will be reviewed, a couple of weeks later. Dentures are to be left out at night.

Review of dentures

Any further adjustments can be made to address any areas that are rubbing or not quite bedding in. You may have small ulcers, where the dentures need to be slightly smoothed and polished. Don’t worry, this is a normal part of the process to denture comfort.
