First things first: we assess the situation. Any broken or loose teeth? We'll either fix them or remove them to clear the path for your new smile. A deep clean is also key—just like prepping a canvas for a masterpiece. Clean teeth = accurate measurements, and accurate measurements = a denture that fits like a glove!
Now, we take the primary measurements using standard trays. Think of this step as the rough sketch for your new smile. These measurements are sent to the lab to create a custom tray (our “special tray”) designed just for you. This custom tray sets the stage for precision in the next step.
With your special tray ready, we gather detailed measurements and register your bite. Using a mix of trays and wax, we map out how your upper and lower jaws work together. It’s like fine-tuning an engine so everything runs smoothly—because your smile needs to feel as good as it looks!
Here comes the exciting part: the try-in stage! This is your sneak peek at the final look. You and the dentist work together to ensure the shape, color, and fit of your teeth are just right. If there’s anything off, we send it back for a tweak. But if it’s perfect, we’re ready for the grand finale.
It’s time to take your new smile home! At the final fitting, your dentures are ready to wear. We remind you to give them time—about 2 weeks to a month—to settle into your mouth like a new pair of shoes. Practice makes perfect!
Finally, we check in with you after a few weeks to make sure everything feels and functions as it should. If any adjustments are needed, we’ll take care of them in the office. By now, you’ll be rocking your new smile with confidence.
Practice makes perfect!
