Designing and Creating Custom Dentures
Our step-by-step approach to creating dentures at our Indianapolis dental office ensures that you are completely satisfied with the final results:
- Initial Consultation — Our dentists evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, explain your options, and make recommendations in your best interest.
- Digital Imaging and Measurements — Our advanced technology allows us to take precise measurements of your mouth, ensuring your dentures fit comfortably and function properly.
- Design and Appearance — We work with you to ensure you are happy with every detail, from the shade of the gum-colored base to the shape and positioning of individual teeth.
- Wax Try-In Appointments — Before finalizing your dentures, we provide wax models that allow you to preview their appearance so we can make adjustments before preparing the final version.
- Final Denture Fitting — We work with a trusted custom dental lab to fabricate your replacement teeth to our specifications. When we deliver your final dentures, we ensure they fit properly and that you are delighted with the result.
The initial adjustment to new dentures typically takes several weeks. During this time, your mouth adapts to the new appliance while you develop confidence in speaking and eating. Remember that this adjustment period is normal and temporary—with patience and practice, your dentures will begin to feel natural.
