Dentures require approximately three to five visits, depending on the type of denture to be made. During the first appointment, the dentist first takes measurements and makes models of the patient's jaws. The second visit measures and customizes the bite and height of the denture, after which the patient will return for a third visit for the dentist to note the final preferences to the denture. After all necessary amendments and adjustments, the denture is ready for collection on the fourth visit.
Do note that even if you wear dentures, you still must take good care of your mouth. Brush your gums, tongue and palate every morning with a soft-bristled brush before you insert your dentures to stimulate circulation in your tissues and help remove plaque. All dentures should also be removed and placed in a cup of water before retiring for the night.
