If you’re considering getting dentures, we’re sure you have a lot of questions. Are they going to look natural? Will they stay in place? How long does it take to get them right? These concerns are all valid. Knowing how dentures are made at a denture studio in Naples will help you feel more confident about what’s ahead.  

How Are Dentures Made? 

1. It Starts with a Personalized Consultation 

Before anything is crafted, the dentist will meet with you to discuss your needs. Whether you’re getting full dentures, partials, or implant-supported options, the consultation helps map out a plan. Your dentist will take impressions of your mouth when you start your denture to ensure your new dentures will fit properly and look great. 

2. Wax Models Help Preview the Look 

Your dentist will create a wax model of your dentures using your impressions. This step lets you preview the shape, color, and alignment of your new teeth. It’s also an important chance to make adjustments before the final version is made. 

3. High-Quality Materials Are Used to Build the Final Dentures 

Once the wax model is approved, your dentures are crafted using durable acrylic, acrylic with metal or resin materials. Each tooth is carefully positioned, and the base is shaped for comfort. Technicians take time to ensure the dentures match your natural features and bite. 

4. Final Fitting and Adjustments Make the Difference 

Once your dentures are ready, you’ll return for a fitting. Small tweaks will be made to ensure the dentures sit comfortably and function well.  

Things to consider when getting a new denture are that no two dentures will feel the same. Bone loss progresses over time. If you’ve been missing teeth for a long period of time or have had periodontal disease with severe bone loss, generally, the fit of the dentures will be poorer.

A dry mouth can also affect the fit of dentures, as saliva helps with suction. We fit your new dentures with detailed molds of your mouth, but some anatomy works better with dentures than others. At our denture studio, we will make every effort to fit your dentures or partials as well and comfortably as possible, but there are limitations, and we will make sure to discuss that with you every step of the way.
