Dental Evaluation: The process begins with an initial consultation with a dentist or prosthodontist. During this appointment, the dental professional evaluates your oral health, discusses your specific needs, and takes impressions or digital scans of your mouth.

Treatment Plan: Based on the evaluation, the dentist develops a personalized treatment plan that outlines the type of dentures needed, the materials to be used, and the overall approach. This plan is tailored to address your unique oral health and esthetic goals.

Tooth Extraction (if needed): If any remaining damaged or decayed teeth are present, they may need to be extracted before proceeding with the denture placement.

Impressions: Precise impressions or digital scans of your gums and any remaining teeth are taken. These impressions serve as the foundation for creating custom-fitted dentures.

Temporary Dentures (if needed): In some cases, temporary or “immediate” dentures may be provided. These are placed immediately after tooth extraction, allowing you to have teeth during the healing process.

Denture Fabrication: A dental laboratory fabricates your dentures based on the impressions and treatment plan. The laboratory uses materials like acrylic, porcelain, or a flexible polymer, depending on the type of dentures and esthetic preferences.

Fitting Appointment: Once the dentures are ready, you return to the dentist for a fitting appointment. The dentist ensures that the dentures fit comfortably and make any necessary adjustments to achieve the ideal fit.

Bite and Appearance Adjustments: During the fitting appointment, the dentist checks your bite to ensure it’s even and comfortable. They also make any necessary adjustments for the best appearance.

Instruction and Care: You receive detailed instructions on how to care for and clean your dentures. Proper denture hygiene is crucial to maintain oral health and the longevity of the dentures.

Follow-Up Appointments: The dentist schedules follow-up appointments to monitor the fit and function of your dentures. Adjustments may be needed as your mouth adjusts to the new prosthetic.
