For patients requiring replacement of all teeth in the upper and or lower arch of the mouth, removable dentures are an excellent treatment option. They provide improved aesthetics by replacing the missing teeth in the mouth and improved overall function for eating and speech. It will typically take multiple appointments for your doctor to design and fit a set of removable dentures for you. Removable dentures are a prosthesis placed in the mouth containing replacement teeth typically mounted in a base made of a pink gum-colored resin formed to an exact fit over your existing gums. They're designed to be removable without the assistance of a dental professional. The process of creating the dentures begins with your doctor taking several impressions of your gums. These impressions are then sent to a laboratory where an expert technician builds a model of your mouth. The lab then works closely with your doctor to design your prosthesis using the model as a base. As each phase of the design is completed, your doctor will meet with you to check for proper fit and bite alignment. It usually requires multiple incremental try-in fittings to ensure the best final result for you. After a brief period of adjusting to the feel of the dentures in your mouth, they will begin to feel natural to you, making eating easier and your speech clearer. Once your dentures are finished and you have fully adjusted to them, you will have a removable restoration specially designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth that improves the overall function of your mouth.
