The First Fitting
An initial “test run” wax denture is made using the artificial teeth that will be used in the final denture. Wax is used for the initial and temporary fitting as it is quite malleable and easy to modify in the interest of comfort and formed fit . Any changes that are required will be made by the dentist and upon a second consultation the final denture will be ready for final fitting.
Final Fitting
Generally speaking from this point on the denture fit should be complete. Some small modification may still be required but these can be completed whilst the patient is still present. Keep in mind that dentures will usually take some getting used to. Temporarily patients may experience sore gums, an extra weight in the mouth, gagging, saliva build up and an alteration of speech. Although rare and mostly only temporary these concern should be addressed with Dr Sih as solutions can be sought.
