Making a denture is a process that usually takes about 6-12 weeks; this can vary from one patient to another. It also depends on the type of denture and the technique the dentist or the laboratory technician uses to make the denture.
Complete dentures are made using your mouth as a model. First, the dentist will take an accurate impression of the upper and lower arches of your mouth. This impression is then sent to the dental laboratory. At the next visit, the dentist will record the relationship of the arches that best resemble your original bite and help you select the shape and color of the denture teeth and gums. Keep in mind that the color of everyone’s gums varies. To make a more natural denture, the dentist will help you choose the shade that best matches your mouth. In the subsequent visits, the dentist will adjust your bite, test your speech and check the appearance and functionality of the denture teeth and gums. After a satisfactory fit and appearance is achieved, the denture is then sent back to the laboratory for fabrication.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is permanently cemented over a tooth, in order to restore the tooth's strength, shape and size, and improve its appearance. The crown will cover the visible portion of the tooth above and right at the gum line once it is cemented into place. Crowns are used to hold weak, broken or cracked teeth together to avoid further fracturing. Crowns are also used to support large fillings, attach a bridge, or cover discolored or deformed teeth. Crowns may also be placed over dental implants.
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by "bridging" the gap where teeth are absent, using the healthy teeth on either side as anchors. These anchoring teeth, known as supporting teeth, are fitted with crowns that hold everything securely in place.
Immediate Dentures
If you've suffered severe tooth decay, injury, or gum disease and need your remaining teeth replaced, an immediate denture can help relieve you of some concerns you may have after the extraction process is complete. An immediate denture, as its name implies, is a denture that is placed in your mouth immediately after your teeth are removed. It makes the transition to dentures less noticeable and also helps keep you performing everyday functions, like chewing and speaking.

Immediate dentures are made using your mouth as a model. First, the dentist will take an accurate impression of the upper and lower arches of your mouth and establish a bite that best resembles your original bite. The dentist will also help you select the shape and color of the denture teeth and gums. This impression is then sent to the dental laboratory.
During the next visit, the dentist will adjust your bite, test your speech and check the appearance and functionality of the denture teeth and gums. Sometimes it is necessary to repeat this step to ensure that everything is just right.
After a satisfactory fit and appearance are achieved, the denture is then sent back to the laboratory for fabrication. At the subsequent visit, the remaining teeth will be removed and the denture will be delivered. Please note that the extractions may be performed at one visit or they may be removed in two or more visits, depending on the number and condition of the teeth to be extracted, the shape of your jaws and your health condition. The dentist will best advise you of the preferred timing for your extractions.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are replacement teeth for people who have lost one or more of their teeth. Partial dentures can be taken in and out of the mouth and consist of a denture base, which closely resembles the color of your gums, and denture teeth, which are attached to a supporting framework. The partial denture then attaches to the existing teeth via a clasp or some other retentive device.
LEARN MORE:
Partial dentures are made using a model of your mouth. Making a partial denture requires about 6-8 weeks; this can vary from one patient to another. It also could depend on the type of denture and the technique your dentist or the laboratory technician uses.
The first step in making a partial denture is the preparation of the teeth. During this phase, your dentist may prepare the teeth that the partial denture will use for support. Next, your dentist will take an accurate impression of the upper and lower arches of your mouth and record your bite. The impressions are then sent to the dental laboratory.
At the subsequent visits, your dentist will evaluate your bite, test your speech and check the appearance and function of the partial denture teeth and gums.
After the final satisfactory fit and appearance are achieved, the denture is then sent back to the laboratory for final fabrication.
The Stayplate (Temporary Dentures)
If you are scheduled to have a tooth pulled before getting your partial denture, then your dentist may advise you to get a temporary partial denture or a stayplate while your gums and their supporting bone are healing. A stayplate will replace the missing tooth or teeth and can help you with your chewing and speaking until a more permanent solution is achieved. A stayplate will also help maintain your appearance when in public and keep your existing teeth from shifting in your mouth and creating bigger problems.

Stayplates are made using your mouth as a model. First, your dentist will take an accurate impression of the upper and lower arches of your mouth and establish a bite that best resembles your original bite. Your dentist will also help you select the shape and color of the stayplate for your teeth and gums. This impression is then sent to the dental laboratory.
At the subsequent visit, the teeth will be removed, and the stayplate will be delivered.
Please keep in mind that there is no such thing as a perfect stayplate. After delivery, it may require a few adjustment visits and some time for you and your stayplate to adapt to each other.
Stayplates can also alter your eating; you will not have the same chewing efficiency as you had with your natural teeth. Stayplate will also alter your speaking and it may require a bit of practice before you get comfortable.
The most important point to remember is that adjusting to your stayplate is a process, and a stayplate is a temporary replacement until another form of treatment, such as an implant, bridge or a partial denture, can be made.
Implant-Supported Denture
There are new advances in making dentures: one such advance is an implant-supported denture that stabilizes the denture. This kind of denture requires the placement of implants in your mouth before making the denture. An implant-supported denture is a modern restorative solution designed for patients who want more stability than a traditional denture can provide. Unlike a standard denture that rests directly on the gums, this version is securely anchored to the jawbone by dental implants.
