Denture fabrication is a dental procedure that involves creating custom-made prosthetic devices to replace missing teeth and restore oral function and aesthetics. Here's an overview of the denture fabrication process: Initial Consultation and Examination: The process begins with an initial consultation with a dentist or prosthodontist who specializes in restorative dentistry. During this appointment, your dentist will assess your oral health, review your medical history, and discuss your treatment goals and preferences. Treatment Planning: Based on the examination findings and your preferences, your dentist will develop a customized treatment plan for denture fabrication. This plan may involve partial dentures (for replacing some missing teeth) or complete dentures (for replacing all teeth in one or both dental arches). Impressions and Measurements: Once the treatment plan is established, your dentist will take impressions (molds) of your mouth to capture the precise shape and size of your dental arches. These impressions are used to create models of your mouth, which serve as a blueprint for designing the dentures. Denture Design: Using the impressions and models of your mouth, a dental laboratory technician will design the dentures to fit comfortably and securely in your mouth. The design process takes into account factors such as tooth size, shape, and color, as well as the contours of your gums and oral tissues. Try-In and Adjustments: Once the initial denture design is completed, you will have a try-in appointment to test the fit and appearance of the dentures. Your dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper fit, comfort, and aesthetics. Final Fabrication: After the try-in appointment, any final adjustments are made, and the dentures are sent to the dental laboratory for final fabrication. The dentures are fabricated using durable materials that mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth and gums. Delivery and Fitting: Once the dentures are fabricated, you will return to your dentist for the final fitting. Your dentist will ensure that the dentures fit properly and provide instructions on how to care for and maintain them. Follow-Up Care: After receiving your dentures, you will have follow-up appointments with your dentist to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and function. Dentures can significantly improve your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. With proper care and maintenance, dentures can last for many years, providing you with a functional and natural-looking solution for missing teeth.
