A Guide to Denture Preparation at Reno Oral Surgery

Taking the steps to acquire dentures is a significant decision toward restoring both functionality and aesthetics to your smile. At Reno Oral Surgery, Dr. Daniel Muff provides expert care in denture preparation, ensuring a comfortable and personalized experience for every patient.

Understanding Dentures
Dentures are custom-made removable appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in two primary types:

• Complete Dentures – Used when all teeth are missing.
• Partial Dentures – Suitable when some natural teeth remain.

The Denture Preparation Process
A well-fitting denture requires careful planning and precision. At Reno Oral Surgery, Dr. Muff follows a meticulous process to ensure optimal results:

Initial Consultation and Examination
A comprehensive oral examination is conducted to assess your dental health, discuss your needs, and determine if dentures are the right solution.

Impressions of the Mouth
Accurate impressions of your upper and lower jaws are taken using high-quality dental materials. These serve as the foundation for crafting well-fitted dentures.

Bite Registration
Wax blocks are used to record the relationship between your upper and lower jaws. This step ensures that your dentures align correctly for optimal chewing and speaking function.

Selection of Tooth Shape and Color
Dr. Muff will guide you in selecting the best tooth shape, size, and color to ensure your dentures look natural and aesthetically pleasing.

Wax Try-In
A preliminary version of your dentures, set in wax, allows you to test the fit, comfort, and appearance before final fabrication. Adjustments can be made to guarantee the best results.

Final Denture Fabrication
The final dentures are crafted using high-quality, durable materials. They are polished and adjusted to ensure comfort and function.

Denture Fitting and Adjustments
Dr. Muff will fit your new dentures and make necessary adjustments to eliminate pressure points and ensure maximum comfort.

Preparing for Your Denture Appointment
To ensure a smooth and efficient denture preparation process:

• Maintain Oral Hygiene – Keep your gums and mouth clean, especially if extractions are needed.
