If all the teeth have disappeared or all the extraction sites have healed (for up to eight weeks or longer), the dentist can make a complete traditional denture. The denture process takes about one month and five hours: a preliminary diagnosis; a vertical dimension and a correct jaw position; a "try on" to ensure proper color, shape and fit; and after a small adjustment, the patient is placed The final denture.
The new denture wearer needs time to adjust to the new "teeth," because even the most suitable denture can feel embarrassed. Although most patients can begin speaking normally within a few hours, many patients will feel unwell after a few days to a few weeks of eating. It is customary to chew with new dentures, starting with soft, easy-to-chew foods. In addition, denture wearers often notice slight changes in facial appearance, increased saliva flow, or slight irritation or discomfort.
