What to Expect When Getting Dentures
Your denture process starts with a consultation
Getting dentures is a personal decision, and the process begins with an exam and conversation. Dr. Baker will evaluate your mouth, discuss your goals, and explain whether a full denture, partial denture, or another replacement option may be appropriate.
Planning the fit and appearance
Dentures are designed to fit your mouth and support your smile. During planning, measurements and impressions may be taken so the appliance can be made to fit as comfortably as possible. Dr. Baker will also discuss the appearance of the teeth and how the denture should support your smile.
Learning to wear dentures
New dentures can take time to get used to. Speaking, eating, and removing the denture may feel different at first. This adjustment period is normal, and follow-up visits can help improve the fit and comfort as your mouth adapts.
Follow-up and adjustments
Dentures may need one or more adjustments after they are delivered. If you notice sore spots, looseness, or difficulty chewing, call the office. Small adjustments can make a meaningful difference in comfort and function.
