Get to know the denture process

  1. Initial consultation: Meet with us to discuss your dental health, assess your needs, and determine the type of dentures suitable for you.

  2. Impressions and measurements: Precise molds and measurements are taken of your mouth to create custom-fitted dentures.

  3. Tooth extraction (if needed): If any remaining natural teeth need removal, this may occur before denture placement.

  4. Temporary dentures (if necessary): You may receive temporary dentures while waiting for your custom ones to be fabricated.

  5. Fitting: Once ready, try on the dentures for adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit.

  6. Final placement: Your custom dentures are securely placed, and any necessary final adjustments are made.

Frequently asked questions about dentures

  • Wearing removable dentures can take some getting used to. Initially, dentures can feel a little strange in your mouth, but this will pass with time.

    You may also experience a small change in your speech, excessive salivation, and different taste with new dentures. Again, this usually goes away over time but if it continues, reach out and let us know.

    Helpful suggestions to help you adjust to a new denture:

    • To adjust to chewing with new dentures, start with soft foods and work up to harder ones. Chew on both sides. 

    • Eat with your back teeth, so you don't dislodge your dentures.

    • Use adhesives until you can control your tongue and lips. 

    • You may have gum soreness as you adjust to your new dentures. If you develop a sore spot, rinse your mouth with warm salt water and return to us for adjustments.

  • Clean them daily with a soft brush, soap and water, or denture cleaning products. Brush on both sides to eliminate bacteria. When you take your dentures out at night, soak them in water or a denture cleaner.

  • You should replace them every five to seven years. Visit us regularly so we can check your denture's fit, offer denture care and hygiene suggestions, and assess any potential issues.


  • Traditional dentures are removable. They also take time to get used to, limit what you can eat, and offer no support for your jawbone. If you’re missing many teeth, we may recommend an implant-supported option to ensure the long-term health of your jaw and an improved lifestyle.
