Understanding Dentures: The Traditional Approach
Before diving into the innovation of same day dentures, it’s essential to grasp the conventional denture process:
- Initial Consultation: Discussing your dental history, needs, and expectations.
- Impressions and Measurements: Creating molds of your mouth to design dentures that fit perfectly.
- Surgical Procedures (if necessary): Extracting damaged or decayed teeth.
- Fitting Sessions: Multiple visits to adjust and finalize the dentures.
- Final Placement: Receiving your complete denture set after several weeks.
While effective, this traditional timeline can span several weeks to months, requiring multiple appointments and leaving patients without teeth for an extended period. This is where Same Day Dentures with Surgery revolutionize dental care.
