Denture Process
Patients who qualify for dentures have some missing teeth or need to replace all teeth. Dr. Patel will meet with patients for a comprehensive consultation to perform an oral exam and various other tests to see if they are a candidate for complete or partial dentures. Dr. Patel will answer any questions or concerns the patient may have during this appointment.
The denture process may take several appointments to complete. Dr. Patel will need to take impressions of the patient’s mouth or exisiting teeth to create the custom dentures. The molds will be sent to the laboratory to create the custom dentures for the patient. Once the dentures have been created, Dr. Patel will have the patient try on the dentures to ensure the proper fit, color, and shape. At the final appointment, Dr. Patel will adjust and place the denture. Dr. Patel will give patients aftercare instructions on denture care. Dr. Patel patients schedule routine check-ups to Valley Alder Family Dentistry to maintain all dental treatment results.
