To begin, your denturist will help you select the type of denture you need based upon your individual situation. One tooth, several teeth, or a full set of dentures may be in order. Then the custom fitting process begins. Fitting your dentures is a multi-stage process that will require several visits. At the first visit, your denturist will do a thorough examination of your mouth and make sure that your gum tissue and ridges are in the proper shape to support the dentures. If no surgical re-shaping is needed, your denturist will then take a soft bite impression of your upper and lower jaws. This impression will be used to make a wax bite impression that plastic teeth can be set into to get a working model for the final denture to be constructed from. Once the final denture is made and given your approval you are ready for permanent mounting.

Permanent dentures can be mounted in different ways. A partial denture ridge can be permanently mounted by bonding it to the abutment teeth which have been built up with crowns for added stability. This can be quite adequate to hold a partial denture in place, but there is another method that is even more secure because it doesn't depend on the natural teeth not decaying. This style is called the implant method.
