Dental prosthesis under anaesthesia

Obtaining a denture, also called dentures, is a multi-step process. Below is an overview of the process:

1. Consultation: The first step is a visit to the dentist or dental prosthetician, who examines the teeth and determines whether a denture is suitable for the situation.
2. Read about the prosthesis: research for yourself what the advantages and disadvantages of a prosthesis are, search online or ask others who already have this for their experiences. The dentist or practitioner can of course also tell you more about this. Below this list are a number of disadvantages and advantages of a prosthesis.
3. Making impressions: Impressions of the jaw are made using an impression tray and special impression material. These impressions serve as the basis for fabricating the denture.
4. Bite registration: To ensure that the upper and lower jaws fit together properly, a bite registration is done. This can be done using a wax plate or other device.
5. Trial denture: The dental technician makes a trial denture based on the impressions and bite registration. This is tried on in the mouth to check whether it fits properly and no adjustments are necessary.
6. Final denture: After any adjustments are made, the final denture is made. This is fitted again and, if necessary, adjusted until it fits comfortably and functions properly.
7. Aftercare: It is important to have regular checkups with the dentist or prosthodontist to make sure the denture still fits properly and to identify any problems early. In addition, it is essential to clean and maintain the dentures properly.
   This is a brief overview of the process of getting dentures. Some steps may be combined or skipped depending on the practitioner and his working method, or for example, in case of an urgency, or when making an emergency denture.
