Clip-on Affordable Dentures

The Traditional Denture Process

A significant drawback of traditional dentures is how long the process takes. Regardless of whether you’re getting complete or partial dentures, you’ll need multiple trips to the dentist, regardless of the type of dentures. Lets’s take a look at the typical denture process for most patients:

Step 1: Initial appointment In the first appointment, your dentist will check your mouth to see what shape it’s in. If you have no teeth left, then impressions will be made to create the molds for your dentures. However, most people will have some teeth in their mouths still. As such, this appointment will mainly focus on what needs to happen to the existing teeth. If they’re stable, impressions can be taken. If they’re loose, then you’ll need to be booked in for a follow-up appointment to extract the teeth.

Step 2: Tooth removal This step will be skipped if no teeth need to be removed, but most denture patients will need some teeth removed at this stage. From here, you have to wait for your gums to heal before moving onto the next steps - this can take a few weeks!

Step 3: Impressions and bite molds If you’ve had teeth removed, you will get your impressions at this stage. You’ll also have to bite down on some wax blocks to see your biting action. This is a way of ensuring that your dentures fit your specific bite when they’re put in.

Step 4: Wax try-ins Sometimes referred to as wax models, these are wax replicas of the final dentures. Your new teeth will be put in the wax models, and you get to put them in your mouth. Effectively, this helps the dentist be certain that the dentures are going to fit.

At this point, you are four appointments in and still haven’t received your dentures. What’s more, many weeks or months may have passed in this time!

Step 5: Fitting Finally, you receive your finished denture and it is fitted. But, the appointments don’t stop there. In some cases, the dentures might not be a perfect fit. This can be because your teeth have shifted between appointments, or it may be down to a mishap in the lab. As such, your dentures will need to be adjusted to fit better.

Then, you will have to go for a follow-up appointment in a few weeks/months to ensure your dentures still fit properly.

Needles to say, this entire process is lengthy and highly inconvenient. You’ll need to take multiple days off work to visit the dentist, and you spend a lot of time with things thrust into your mouth.
