The Denture Process
Getting dentures is a step-by-step process that can lead to a healthier, more confident smile. It begins with a dental exam and consultation to assess your needs. If extractions are needed, they’re done first, followed by a healing period. Impressions are then taken to create a custom fit. Once your dentures are ready, you’ll try them on for comfort and adjustments.

Caring for Your Dentures
Caring for your dentures is easier than you think—and it makes a world of difference in comfort and confidence! Remove and rinse them after meals to keep them clean and debris-free. Gently brush them daily with a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive cleanser. Soak them overnight in a denture solution to maintain shape and freshness. Don’t forget to clean your gums and tongue, too. Regular dental checkups help ensure a snug, healthy fit.
