How do you get fitted for dentures?
comprehensive oral exam
Your dentist will determine if dentures are right for you at your consultation. Your dentist in Grants Pass, OR, will examine your mouth, take x-rays, and decide if your gums are healthy enough to support dentures.
Treatment Planning
After you’ve been approved for treatment, your dentist will create a plan for your dentures and go over it with you so you know exactly what to expect. From there, our team will schedule your impressions and tooth extraction appointments.
Impressions
Next, your dentist will take impressions to ensure that your dentures will sit completely to your gum line and fit comfortably in your mouth once they are ready to be worn.
Tooth Extraction
During the extraction process, your dentist will numb your mouth with anesthetic and/or use sedation to ensure a comfortable, painless procedure. Temporary dentures may also be provided after the extraction to protect your gums during the healing process.
Healing & After Care
After the extraction procedure, make sure to get plenty of rest for at least 24 hours. Your dentist will provide detailed instructions so that you can remain comfortable and pain free while you heal. While your prosthetic is being made, you will discuss with your dentist the shade, size, and shape of teeth that you want for your new set of dentures.
Fitting and Adjustments
When your dentures are complete, you will return to the office to begin the fitting process. Adjustments can be made to ensure your dentures are as comfortable and functional as possible. Plan on returning to the office for yearly checkups on your dentures, but know that a set of dentures can last you up to 10 years if you take good care of them.
