What does getting partial dentures involve?
The process of getting partial dentures requires several appointments, usually over several weeks. Highly accurate impressions (molds) and measurements are taken and used to create your custom partial denture. Several “try-in” appointments may be necessary to ensure proper shape, color, and fit. At the final appointment, your dentist will precisely adjust and place the completed partial denture, ensuring a natural and comfortable fit. It is normal to experience increased saliva flow, some soreness, and possible speech and chewing difficulty, however this will subside as your muscles and tissues get used to the new partial dentures. You will be given care instructions for your new partial dentures. Proper cleaning of your new dental appliance, good oral hygiene, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new partial dentures.
