Fixing your smile helps you feel better and makes daily life much easier. Many people in Dallas choose dentures because they are a reliable way to replace missing teeth. Knowing exactly what to expect at each stage of your care at Easy Dental Dallas can make the process seem less overwhelming. This guide tells you what to expect at each stage.
Your First Exam and Consultation
The journey starts with a comprehensive assessment of your oral health. Our team examines your gums and any remaining teeth at our Dallas office. We use digital images and X-rays to clearly see your jawbone.
This part is important because a healthy bone structure helps the dentures stay in place. During this time, we talk about whether full dentures or partial dentures work best for you. We build a plan that matches your mouth and looks like your original teeth.
Making Your Custom Dentures
After we decide on a plan, we take a mold of your mouth. We carefully capture detailed impressions so your final dentures fit securely and comfortably. These molds go to a lab to create your custom set.
You will come back for a fitting before the work is finished. You try on a test version so we can check how your teeth line up when you bite. We also check the color and shape of the teeth. This visit gives us a chance to make changes so your dentures feel right and look real.
Adjusting to Your New Dentures
New dentures always feel a little odd during the initial weeks of use. The mouth takes some time to adapt to the feel. You may experience increased salivation or some sore areas as your muscles adjust to the dentures’ placement. To help adjust more easily, eat soft foods and practice speaking aloud.
Our team will walk you through how to maintain the cleanliness of your dentures daily. By doing this, you will prevent bacteria from forming and ensure that your gums are healthy.
You will still have to come into our Dallas office for routine visits. As your jaw keeps changing, we can provide modifications that will allow for a better fit on your dentures.
