PREPARATION OF DENTURES

Whether partial or full, getting dentures made for the mouth or fixed to the gums is a detailed process which needs to be carried out correctly. There are a number of ways in which this can be done, many of which include the removal of teeth and a number of days for the gums to heal.

The tooth extraction process has changed in recent years, mainly to help the dentist themselves. The mouth is now separated into quadrants (the teeth on the left side of the mouth, the teeth on the right side, the top front teeth and the bottom front teeth). Usually only one quadrant can be removed per week (one day, with a few days left to heal) although the top and bottom front quadrants can be done all in one day. The extraction procedure is always carried out under anaesthetic (usually local, where the patient is awake but numbed) although the options are negotiable.

The gums then need time to heal, which can take 6 months. If dentures are fitted immediately then they�re likely to loosen as the gums shrink and heal. The patient can either wait months without the use of dentures (awkward and aesthetically unappealing), or have dentures fitted but need to have them adjusted later (which is expensive). Most dentists in the US today don�t accept Medicare, and while some dental associations can help you to find funds from a charity organization, there is sometimes no option but to pay.
Once the teeth have been extracted and the gums have healed then the wax impression of the patient�s mouth is taken. From this a cast is made which the dentist then puts under pressure which simulates the biting action. Once this is rendered satisfactory a �final cast� is made and assessed before the dentures are made and finally given to the patient.
