When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dentures<\/a> are perhaps one of the most recognizable and popular treatment options around. In fact, it\u2019s estimated that over 40 million people in the US alone wear these life-changing restorations. That said, if you\u2019re considering this option yourself to replace your missing teeth, you might have questions about the process and timeline for receiving them.  Here\u2019s a brief overview of the dentures process, so that you have a better idea of how long it\u2019ll take to restore your smile and quality of life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. The Initial Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need to visit your dentist and speak with them about your smile goals, and after they\u2019ve evaluated your mouth, they can begin drawing up your customized treatment plan. Since there are different types of dentures, all with varying purposes, they\u2019ll want to be thorough in their examination; however, it often only takes a single appointment to determine if dentures are a viable option. Some patients might need to undergo tooth extractions beforehand, or others might have oral health concerns such as gum disease that need to be cleared up before dentures become an option.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Taking Impressions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t receive a restoration that looks and feels natural without impressions. Luckily, this process has changed quite a bit over the years, and what was previously uncomfortable and cumbersome has now been streamlined and made quite easy thanks to advancements in dental technology. Essentially, your mouth can be mapped out digitally, which leads to even more precision when creating the dentures themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Delivery of Restorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You shouldn\u2019t have to wait very long for your final restorations to be created and delivered; it usually takes a few weeks, and you\u2019ll likely be given temporary dentures if needed in the meantime. Once they\u2019ve arrived any last-minute changes and adjustments have been made, you can receive your permanent long-term dentures. They\u2019ll closely resemble your natural teeth in terms of look, feel, and function. Traditionally, dentures are stabilized, and the majority of patients need about a month or so to become fully accustomed to wearing their dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dentures are life-changing for the better, and knowing a little about the process beforehand can help you feel comfortable about committing to rebuilding your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
