How Are Partial Dentures Made and Fitted?, Bentleigh East
Partial dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly. Understanding the process of how they are made and fitted can help you feel more confident about your dental treatment.
The Initial Consultation and Impressions
The process of creating partial dentures begins with a detailed consultation at Grant Foxwell Denture Clinic. During this appointment, our skilled technicians assess your oral health, discuss your needs, and determine the best type of partial denture for you. After this, impressions of your mouth are taken to create a model. This model helps to design the most comfortable and functional partial dentures.
Our team will carefully measure the size, shape, and alignment of your remaining teeth to ensure the dentures fit properly. This stage is essential for crafting dentures that look natural and feel comfortable. We work closely with you throughout the process to make sure your preferences and needs are met.
Creating and Fitting the Dentures
Once the impressions are complete, our lab team at Grant Foxwell Denture Clinic creates your custom partial dentures. The dentures are made from high-quality materials such as acrylic or metal, depending on your chosen design. After the dentures are fabricated, you’ll return to our clinic for the fitting. During this appointment, we ensure the dentures fit comfortably, make any necessary adjustments, and check that they align correctly with your bite.
Our team may ask you to wear the dentures for a short period to make sure there are no pressure points or discomfort. Once you are happy with the fit, we provide care instructions to help you maintain your partial dentures and keep them in excellent condition. Regular check-ups are also advised to ensure your dentures continue to fit properly.
