Try-in stage. Pictures below.

Using pink modelling wax, the denture teeth have been placed into the existing spaces where teeth are missing. The wax with teeth attached are placed in the mouth to check that the occlusion (the bite) is correct. We also check that the colour is suitable. This was all correct so the dentures go to the finish stage.
All upper teeth and the lower tooth with the blue cross are to be extracted before the dentures are inserted.
Continued in June.

Plaster models mounted (below)

Here are the plaster models mounted ready to have the already missing teeth positioned using pink wax. This is done to check the bite and to get an idea of the levels required for the denture teeth.

Before photo for my records

A before photo taken for records. 
This client was referred by a dentist for denture construction.
This lady wants to look the same as her old teeth only better. We chose a lighter colour. The teeth are coming out because of gum disease.

Start here! Immediate dentures. What are they and how are they made?

2/5/2016

 
An "immediate denture" is a denture made before the teeth are extracted. I am currently constructing a full upper and part lower denture. "Immediate dentures" are a little bit tricky because you can't try the denture in the mouth before it is finished. You make it and hope the patient likes it! All upper teeth are to be extracted. One lower tooth is to be extracted. We are keeping the rest. I will post up progress notes and photos over the next few weeks to show how it's done.
