Dental Procedure for Dentures

The dentist initiates the procedure for dentures through a complete dental examination. It helps the dentist to analyze if the patient is an appropriate candidate for dentures. The impression of the mouth is obtained, which is sent to the laboratory for the fabrication of the dentures. 

Dentures contain an acrylic base and artificial teeth. The dentist places the fully fabricated denture inside the mouth. It stays on the gums with the help of suction. The dentist check for any adjustments that are required for the proper fixture of the prosthetic device. 

Aftercare for Dentures

The patient should handle the denture with care. It should be carefully removed and placed in cleansing water when not in use. The dentist advises the patient to brush the denture with a soft-bristled brush. After each meal, the denture should be rinsed under water to remove leftover food. In case of any damage to the denture, the patient should avoid repairing the denture by themselves. They should visit the dentist at the earliest for repair. 

Dentures are an excellent replacement option for patients who prefer a non-surgical procedure.
