Schedule VisitThe Denture Process
Getting custom full or partial dentures is a carefully planned process designed to restore your smile and ability to speak and chew properly.
Step 1: Comprehensive Exam and Consultation
Your Richmond dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine whether full or partial dentures are the best option.
Step 2: Impressions and Measurements
Detailed impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth are taken to ensure a precise, comfortable fit.
Step 3: Tooth Preparation or Extractions (if needed)
If damaged teeth must be removed, extractions are completed and time is allowed for healing before final denture placement.
Step 4: Wax Try-In and Fit Check
A sample denture is created for you to try on. Personalized adjustments are then made to improve comfort, bite, and appearance.
Step 5: Final Denture Placement
Your custom denture is crafted and fitted. Your dentist will ensure it sits securely and feels natural.
Step 6: Follow-Up Adjustments
After wearing your denture, minor adjustments may occasionally be needed to eliminate sore spots and improve fit. We will assess your appliance at every routine checkup to ensure it stays in great shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for dentures?
Dentures may be a good option for patients who are missing several teeth or all of their teeth and want to restore their smile, chewing ability, and confidence. They can be a practical restorative solution for patients looking for a reliable way to replace multiple missing teeth and improve daily function.
What is the difference between full dentures and partial dentures?
Full dentures are used when all teeth in the upper or lower arch need to be replaced. Partial dentures are used when some healthy natural teeth remain. The right option depends on how many teeth are missing, the health of the remaining teeth, and your long-term restorative goals.
How do dentures help restore your smile?
Dentures help restore the appearance of your smile while also improving everyday function. They can make it easier to chew, speak more clearly, and support facial structure after tooth loss. For many patients, dentures also improve confidence in social and professional settings.
