Once you’ve had a consultation, it’s time to plan your treatment with your dentist. Your dentist will take x-rays and molds of your mouth to plan out your extractions and to start the design of your new smile that you’ll receive the day that your natural teeth are pulled. We use a 3D CT to digitally run through your surgery ahead of time. This really helps reduce complications! How can you get false teeth? Pick a doctor and ask him to make a good plan.

Step 3: Design Your Healing Denture

After your dentist plans your surgery, he uses your molds to start making your new teeth. In our office, Dr. Bec scans the molds into his digital denture lab and designs your healing phase temporary dentures there. Some offices design every denture the same. Other dentists love to customize each one to what the patient wants. At our office, we make each denture according to what the patient wants. We’ve made all sorts from new Hollywood smile dentures to removable dentures that look exactly like your smile when it was healthy.

Step 4: Schedule Surgery

Making an appointment is obviously no big deal. However, if you want sedation during your surgery, you’ll want to be sure to schedule the surgery on a day off from work. You’ll also want to coordinate a driver. After sedation, you’ll want a family member or friend to pick you up and drive you home. Don’t underestimate the importance of rest during the healing process. It’s better to heal healthy than to be a hero.

Step 5: Get Your Extractions & A New Smile!

Getting a beautiful new set of teeth is truly transformational and brings a lot a relief and joy when you’ve been suffering with miserable, ugly teeth for a long time.

Step 6: Healing & Denture Comfort Adjustments

The process of getting false teeth doesn’t end the day you get them. The next 3-6 months are a healing phase when your gums and bone will be changing a lot. As your mouth changes, your new teeth will need to be adjusted and relined several times to keep them stable and comfortable.

Removable dentures do have a learning curve. It takes everyone a while to learn how to talk and eat with artificial teeth that sit on top of the gums instead of in them. If you’re frustrated, don’t hesitate to talk to you dentist about it. Some of the difficulty and discomfort is just normal healing and other times something needs to be adjusted. New denture wearers forget that their dentist can’t read their mind. Each person’s experience is a little different and your dentist needs you to communicate what’s working and what’s not.
