If you have any decayed or damaged teeth that need to be removed, they will be extracted, followed by a period of healing. Later, your dentist will take a mold of your remaining gum structure, as well as the roof of your mouth. This mold will be sent to a dental lab for denture fabrication. When the dentures are completed, you will return to your dentist for a final fitting. Keep in mind that it may take some time to adjust to dentures as you learn how to use the muscles in your cheeks and tongue to keep them in place. But over time, you should begin to feel more comfortable.
Your dentures will need to be removed nightly, cleaned and brushed daily, and you should also brush your gums daily to prevent infections caused by bacteria.
