What does getting dentures involve?
Getting dentures requires several appointments and begins with having impressions and precise measurements taken, which are used to create your custom dentures. A series of appointments may be necessary to try on the dentures and ensure that they fit properly and are the appropriate color and shape. The final appointment involves more adjustments and placing the completed dentures to ensure that they fit comfortably and naturally. Many patients report experiencing increased saliva flow, difficulty with speech and chewing and some soreness initially. Over time, this goes away as your tissues and muscle grow accustomed to the new dentures.
