The Process of Getting Dentures
What is the process of getting full dentures?
When you need high quality full dentures that you can rely on, you can trust the team at Pearl Denture Studio. We use the latest techniques and materials when crafting and delivering your dentures. We trust and use the reputable Bio-functional Prosthetic System (BPS®) which ensures a durable set of teeth for years to come. Our team are highly experienced in working with a range of patients and can be trusted to deliver quality dentures which add to your quality of life.
When you have full dentures in place, you will have an acrylic base with your acrylic or composite teeth affixed in the dentures. These full dentures are removable to allow for better cleaning and maintenance and are manufactured to a high standard using the BPS® system. Unlike your natural teeth, your dentures are supported by your gum tissue.
Getting full dentures, a patient can expect to have a primary impression taken of their mouth. With this impression, a custom tray is constructed to your specific arches. This Impression replicates the structure of your gums and supporting tissues, enabling precise and accurate mould of your mouth. Your dental prosthesis will also determine the precise dimension of your bite.
