Will my new denture feel perfect the day I get it?+
Often it won’t feel routine right away. The finished denture is checked at delivery, but follow-up adjustments are a normal part of the process as your mouth adapts.
What if it starts rubbing after I’m already home?+
Call the clinic and describe where it hurts. Sore areas should be adjusted, so avoid altering the denture yourself, even if coming back takes some planning.
Should I wear it overnight during the first few days?+
Follow the directions you received at delivery. Most patients are told to take a denture out for a period each day so their tissues can rest.
Is the finished denture different from what I saw at my trial?+
The trial exists so tooth position, smile, speech and bite can be evaluated before processing. If something seems different at delivery, say so at the appointment.
Will I need help learning how to clean it?+
Feel free to ask at delivery. The general idea is to remove and brush it with an appropriate brush and cleanser, and to clean your mouth as well.
Whom do Stony Mountain residents contact to arrange delivery?+
