Impressions for dentures...?!


Question:

Impressions for dentures...?

I have an appointment tomorrow to get my impressions done for my top denture. I have several questions about this process...

How long will my appointment be?

What exactly do they do during this appointment?

I asked them about how long my appointment will be, and they said if I am ontime, around 45 minutes. Is that start to finish, or what?

Thanks all!


Answers:

If they do it right they have to find a tray that fits your mouth. Then put some goop in the tray and press it against your upper mouth and let it stiffen so it takes the shape . Then they will do one or two with softer goop. The hard stuff mis shapes your gum tissue. the soft stuff is more gentle. Then they have to make a thing like the denture and put it in your mouth and you bite against your lowers and they take measurements and trim it and stuff so you get the right bite and they find your lip line so when you talk and smile and laugh you will look the best that they can make you. They may even take an impression of your lower teeth so they can make the top teeth fit the lowers and you can chew properly. any thng less and you will have to make several trips or they aren't doing a good job.
