After all, they could restore your smile, fill out the appearance of your face and profile, plus allow you to eat and speak much better than you can without teeth. If they sound like the improvement you\u2019ve been looking for, your next thought might be to wonder how long the process will take from your consultation until your new restorations are in your mouth. Keep reading to understand the timeline for getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carrollbutlerdds.com\/dentures.html\">dentures in Kerrville<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Determine If You\u2019ll Require Teeth\nExtractions <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If no teeth extractions are needed, the\nprocess usually takes 3-4 appointments. Otherwise, it will be longer \u2013\nextraction sites can take several months to heal. Once your mouth has\nrecovered, your dentist can start making the dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan to Have Your Temporary Set for a Period <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist begins by making\nimpressions of the ridges in your mouth. They will take measurements to ensure\nyour bite pattern is correct. It is important that prosthetic teeth are the\nright length and width, or they can change your appearance. Your dentures will\nbe fabricated in a lab, so for 2-3 weeks, you\u2019ll have temporary dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re Ready: Placement &amp;\nAdjustment as Needed <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your new ones are placed in your mouth, sometimes further adjustments are required. To avoid sores from ill-fitting dentures, patients may have them adjusted regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You a Viable Candidate for Dentures? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019re familiar with the process of getting them, how do you know if this is the oral health solution that aligns with your needs? Individuals who have suffered moderate-to-severe tooth loss may be candidates for full or partial dentures. Any necessary preliminary treatments like tooth extractions or gum disease therapy must be addressed before you are approved to get them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In advance of committing to traditional\nfull or partial dentures, you should ask your dentist about implant dentures.\nThey gain support from small titanium posts surgically implanted in your jaw\ninstead of natural suction or metal attachments. Implant dentures are sturdier\nand feel more natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When considering a new addition to your\nmouth with dentures or anything of the sort, it is important to understand what\nthe process will entail and the right reasons to make a specific move. However,\nthe only way to know for sure about what is the right choice for your smile is\nto schedule a consultation with your dentist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carrollbutlerdds.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Carroll Butler<\/a> has been working hard for the smiles of Kerrville patients since 1997.
