COMPLETE AND PARTIAL DENTURES |
|
Dr. Olson always encourages people to save their teeth whenever possible.
However, if your teeth cannot be saved, or if you already wear a denture,
Dr. Olson can provide you with high quality new or replacement dentures.
Dr. Olson will spend the needed time with you to fully understand your dental condition and listen to your unique concerns so that he can attain the best possible fit and natural appearance for you. Creating a well-made denture with an excellent fit is usually a four-step process*. |
STEP ONE |
|
Dr. Olson makes accurate impressions and bite records of your mouth.
Next, he invites your participation in selecting the color, size,
and shape of your new denture teeth. He then sets your chosen
denture teeth in wax; and, with them placed in your mouth, he reviews
their natural appearance with you. He will continue to work with you
until you are completely pleased with the appearance of your new teeth.
This process may take two to three appointments. |
STEP TWO |
|
During the next several days, Dr. Olson makes further refinements
to your wax denture and prepares it for final processing into a completed
denture. |
STEP THREE |
|
You return for a fitting of your new denture. At this appointment, Dr. Olson uses a special pressure-indicating
medium that allows him to make adjustments for minor changes that
may have occurred during processing of your denture. He also makes
adjustments for changes that have occurred to your mouth tissues since
impressions and bite records were made. These extra steps ensure the best possible
fit. |
STEP FOUR |
|
Your treatment includes 12-months of follow-up care. This care includes
examinations of your mouth tissues and the fit of your dentures. Adjustments
to your dentures are made as needed to provide you with the best possible
oral health and comfort. Long-term success with your dentures depends on the technical excellence of the treatment as well as a combination of a healthy lifestyle, daily home-care, and periodic professional maintenance. During your appointments we will show you how to protect your investment by properly caring for your dentures.

*Dr. Olson will recommend a transitional denture if you have remaining teeth. He will fabricate it in his lab and you will receive it at the same appointment that you have your front teeth removed. You will never be without teeth. Your transitional denture is worn while your mouth tissues heal and reshape.
