What Are Dentures?
Removable dental appliances that replace lost teeth, come in two forms: full and partial. Patients who require full dentures are often missing all of their upper and lower teeth while partials are great for instances where only a few teeth are gone.
Traditionally, dentures are made soon after tooth removal if teeth are not already missing. If needed, immediate dentures can also be placed right after teeth are extracted. Our dentists can discuss your treatment plan with you so you’re aware of what to expect.
The fabrication of a pair of dentures may take a few weeks. We’ll start by taking digital impressions of your jaw and make a note of how your jaws fit together. A temporary model will then be made which we’ll have you try to assess the color, shape, and fit. Finally, the final full or partial dentures are created and adjustments are made.
Things to Expect After

You can expect the following with new dentures:

- Minor irritation or soreness
- Excess saliva (for a temporary period)
