What to Expect When Receiving Dentures Roseville, CA
During your denture consultation, Dr. Sara Zeidan will thoroughly assess your oral health and help determine which type of dentures best suits your needs. This process typically involves discussing full or partial dentures as well as implant-supported options, depending on your specific situation. From this initial visit, our skilled dentist will begin designing a custom set of dentures tailored to fit comfortably and restore your smile.
The process of receiving dentures can require multiple appointments to ensure a perfect fit. During the first visit, preliminary impressions of your mouth will be taken to form a casting. This casting is used to create trays for the more detailed impressions taken later. These precise impressions are essential in crafting the base of your dentures. Additionally, your bite will be measured to align the denture teeth accurately, ensuring both functionality and appearance.
Once the custom dentures are ready, we will invite you for a “try-in” session. This visit is a chance for you to wear the dentures temporarily and assess how they look and feel. We encourage bringing a trusted friend or family member along to provide feedback during this stage. If adjustments are needed — whether to the alignment, comfort, or appearance of the teeth — we can make those changes. Sometimes, a second try-in appointment is necessary to refine the fit before finalizing the appliance.
When you approve the design, our dentist will finalize your dentures by securing the teeth into the base. At the final fitting appointment, your new dentures will be carefully adjusted to provide a snug, comfortable fit. However, as your mouth and gums adapt, further adjustments may be needed in the following weeks.
Adjusting to Wearing Dentures
It is normal to experience some discomfort as your mouth adjusts to wearing new dentures. You may feel pressure or tightness, and it can take time to get used to eating and speaking comfortably. In the first few days after you’ve been wearing dentures, we recommend that you eat soft foods. We also encourage you to practice speaking aloud to help you adjust more quickly. Some soreness or minor irritation is also expected, but this should improve as your mouth gets used to the appliance. If you experience more severe discomfort, please contact our team right away so that we can make adjustments to your dentures.
Our team will be available to help with any necessary adjustments during this transition. Regular follow-up visits can ensure your dentures continue to fit comfortably over time.
