If you\u2019re getting dentures for your missing teeth, you probably want them right now. After all, having them sooner means a faster restoration<\/a> of your smile! Following your first dental visit, though, you\u2019ll have to wait a while before you can wear them. As you might imagine, dentists can\u2019t make dentures in just a single day. For a better idea of the treatment time, take it from your Sommerville dental practice. Here are the four major factors involved in getting dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Whether You Need Tooth Extraction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you need teeth pulled from your mouth, it\u2019ll take longer to get your dentures. That fact is only natural, as a dentist can\u2019t place the prosthetic until your extraction sites heal. Furthermore, this recovery process can vary depending on the situation. Based on the sites\u2019 size and your oral health, healing could take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Denture Creation Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once your dentist approves the treatment, they\u2019ll take impressions of your mouth ridges and measurements of your \u201cbite\u201d pattern. These things and a wax mockup will be sent to a lab that makes your final prosthetics. In particular, they\u2019ll form the specifications that ensure personalized and well-fitted false teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fitting & Adjusting the Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the measurements are taken, you\u2019ll visit the dentist a few times for adjustments to the mockup. This way, your future dentures will fit correctly and match your face. It certainly wouldn\u2019t do if your false teeth were too big, long, short, or narrow for your mouth. They\u2019d harm your looks in such scenarios, so adjustments are necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Placing the Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the adjustments, your dentist will place the dentures in your mouth. They shouldn\u2019t feel uncomfortable for you, but it\u2019s not uncommon to have some initial sore spots. Plus, your mouth needs to adapt to wearing, eating, and speaking with them. Once you adapt to these things, though, your new smile will look and work like your old one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if it\u2019s annoying, the wait for your future dentures is well worth it. As such, try to be patient while you work towards your restored smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
