Home Dentures: Convenient and Personalised Solutions by Expert Dentist

Dentures are typically made over the course of several visits to the dentist's practice. However, in our practice we give our patients the option of getting dentures made in their homes because of technological improvements and a desire to offer convenient dental treatment. An outline of how a dentist might create dentures for clients to wear at home is provided below:

Initial consultation: At the dentist's office, the procedure starts with an initial consultation. The dentist will evaluate the patient's dental health, take impressions of the mouth, and go through the patient's particular requirements and preferences for their dentures at this appointment.

Treatment strategy: The dentist will develop a strategy for treating the patient based on the consultation. A full or partial denture, the materials to be utilised, and any additional treatments that could be required, like as teeth extractions or gum reshaping, are all part of this process.

Impressions taking: Dental putty or digital scanning technologies will be used by the dentist to obtain accurate imprints of the patient's mouth. The contours of the gums and the size, shape, and alignment of the teeth are all captured in these impressions. In order to guarantee that the dentures fit correctly and work properly, the dentist may additionally take measurements of the patient's bite and jaw movements.

Fabrication: After taking the impressions, the dentures are made by specialised workers at a dental laboratory. The dental laboratory could be housed there or in a different building. The technicians will make a personalised mould or model of the patient's mouth using the impressions as a reference.

Denture fitting session: A fitting session will be scheduled at the patient's home by the dentist once the dentures are complete. The dentist will check the fit, comfort, and appearance of the dentures during this appointment and make any required revisions. Trimming extra material, perfecting the bite, and taking care of any sore spots or pressure points are all examples of adjustments.

Final adjustments: The dentist may arrange one or more follow-up appointments after the initial fitting to make any necessary final modifications to the dentures. This enables fine-tuning of the fit and guarantees ideal comfort and performance. In order to ensure that the dentures live up to the patient's expectations, the dentist will work closely with them, addressing any issues and making any adjustments that are required.
