Conventional Dentures

A Conventional Denture

When all your upper or lower teeth are missing, a full denture is a good treatment for replacing them.

With proper home care, regular adjustments and relines, your denture can provide a functional bite and a natural-looking smile.

Placing A Full Denture

The process of making a full denture varies in each case, and it usually involves a series of appointments. The first step is to take impressions of your mouth. An accurate model is made from these impressions, and the lab uses this model to create the denture base. In many cases, a wax rim is mounted on the base for you to test the fit. This helps confirm the correct relationship between the upper and lower teeth.

The lab then creates a wax replica of the final denture, called a wax-up. You will try the fit with the wax-up, and we will note any changes to the fit of the base and to the color, shape, and placement of the teeth. We then send the wax-up back to the lab, and they process it to create the final denture.

When the denture is ready, you will have a final fitting, and we make any necessary adjustments for your comfort.
