What will the NHS dentist do?
The process of making dentures will usually require 4 visits to the practice over 4-5 weeks. >> First impression (mould) of patient’s teeth >> Second impression (mould) in a specially made tray and bite registration – to make the fit of the dentures more accurate >> Try-in of the artificial teeth in your mouth and any adjustments can be done at that stage >> Fitting of the dentures As the dentures are desinged to be removable they will often feel like foreign bodies in the your mouth to begin with. They will never be completely fixed but with time and patience you will get used to them. Think of it like getting used to a new pair of shoes and don’t give up! However, it is common that patients have to return to the dentist for minor adjustments if they rub and cause ulcers or are to loose or tight.
