There are many steps and appointments required to complete the full denture procedure. The exact length of time can vary depending on many factors including how many teeth are being replaced, the condition of the gums and jawbone, and the complexity of the treatment plan. A typical procedure would follow these steps:   -       Removal of Existing Teeth: Full dentures may require existing teeth to be removed. The patient’s gums must also heal before the first denture fitting consultation can take place. This tooth removal and the healing process can take 8-12 weeks or more. -       Initial Consultation/Examination: This first appointment will be up to an hour long and covers the introductory phase of the denture procedure. -       Impressions/Measurements: During this appointment, your teeth, gums, and jawbone are measured and impressions are taken. Expect this appointment to take about an hour. -       Trial Denture Fitting: A temporary denture is placed in your mouth and adjustments are made to correct the fit and bite. This appointment is about an hour long. -       Final Denture Fitting: This hour-long appointment involves the fitting of the final denture. Adjustments are made where required, and you are provided with instructions on how to care for and use the dentures.   The full denture procedure can take from several weeks to several months to complete.
