FIRST CONSULTATION
During the first consultation you can indicate your wishes to Jane. She will discuss the options with you and provide you with an estimate. If you accept the offer, a follow-up appointment can be scheduled.
During this appointment, an impression will be made of the upper or lower jaw if you only have a denture above or below or of the upper and lower jaw if you have a denture on both the upper and lower jaw.
From this impression a model is made on which a mould is fabricated to examine the exact edge of the denture, to make it fit comfortably.
BITE REGISTRATION
You will then come back for the occlusal assessment. This is necessary for the proper functioning of your jaw joints and to prevent wear and pain. Together with Jane, you determine the desired colour, position and shape of the teeth and Jane will start fabricating your final denture.
FITTING
The next appointment you will try the model. The position and colour of the teeth can be adjusted if necessary as this model is made of wax.
PLACEMENT
When the final denture is cast and ready it is placed during the final visit and any spots causing discomfort or pain can be adjusted.
AFTERCARE
Your denture must be cleaned, just like your natural teeth. Not cleaning can result in the inflammation of your gums. The best way to clean your denture is with a special brush and water and soap. Do not use toothpaste as it will abrade and damage your denture. You can also use special cleaning agents. For cleaning your gums you can use a soft toothbrush and some toothpaste.
