Steps for making a Denture:

There are five appointments that are usually needed for dentures to be made:

• At the First and second appointments, impressions are taken. 

• The third appointment, measurements are determined to set the vertical, "position of your teeth".

• Fourth appointment is a try-in with the teeth set in wax and any necessary changes are made at this time.

• And at the fifth appointment the denture or dentures are now completed and ready to be put to use by the patient.

It is common to have an adjustment period to the dentures.  Sore spots can occur that require adjustments by the dentist. Chewing ability and speech comes with practice over time.  The time frame for the initial five appointments is usually about 3 weeks.
