5. We conduct the pre-completion check
We will have you put in the wax dentures in order to conduct a pre-completion check.
+ Esthetic check ... check the shape and color of teeth, etc.
+ Fit check ... check to see that dentures fit right and do not jostle
+ Pronunciation check ... check to make sure you can pronounce words correctly
+ Bite alignment check ... check to see that you can bite firmly without difficulty
These are the types of things we check for.
After this we replace the wax dentures with ones made of long-lasting hard materials (synthetic resin and metal). The retention of the dentures will be completely different from when you had your teeth. There will be nothing but a foundation in your jaw.
Full dentures use the water-film phenomenon (the same mechanism that causes 2 layers of glass to stick together firmly when a layer of water lays between them) to ensure that they will not fall out.
This is why we must make your dentures so that they match up perfectly with the contours of the shape of the gums in your jaw. This operation is called polymerization. After polymerization, the dentures are completed after they have been buffed and polished.
