2. Initial Consultation and Examination Flexible dentures are an increasingly popular choice for patients needing removable partial or complete dentures, particularly for those with sensitive gums. Their soft, lightweight materials provide comfort and improved aesthetics. Understanding the step-by-step process involved in creating flexible dentures can help patients appreciate the craftsmanship and technology behind these prosthetics. This guide outlines the key stages in the making of  flexible denture , from the initial consultation to the final fitting.

3. Impressions and Measurements Creating Accurate Models Once the patient’s needs have been assessed, the next step involves taking impressions of the patient’s mouth. Key Activities: Impression Taking : The dentist uses a soft, moldable material to create an impression of the gums and any remaining teeth. This process may involve using both upper and lower arch impressions. Measurements : The dentist measures the size, shape, and relationship between the upper and lower jaws to ensure a proper fit. Bite Registration : A bite registration is taken to document how the upper and lower teeth come together, ensuring that the dentures will function effectively.

4. Fitting the Dentures Initial Try-In Appointment After the dentures are fabricated, an initial try-in appointment is scheduled to assess the fit and make necessary adjustments. Key Activities: Try-In Fitting : The patient tries on the dentures to evaluate their fit, comfort, and aesthetics. Adjustments : The dentist makes any necessary adjustments to the fit and alignment, ensuring the dentures sit comfortably without causing irritation. Function Testing : The patient may be asked to speak and chew to evaluate the functionality of the dentures.

5. Follow-Up Care Ensuring Long-Term Comfort After the dentures are delivered, follow-up care is essential for maintaining comfort and function. Key Activities: Regular Check-Ups : Patients are encouraged to schedule regular dental visits to monitor the fit and condition of the dentures. Adjustment Appointments : If necessary, adjustments can be made during follow-up visits to ensure ongoing comfort and function. Patient Feedback : Patients are encouraged to communicate any concerns or issues they experience with their dentures to ensure they receive appropriate care.
