Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
Your dentist will examine your mouth, discuss your needs and preferences, and determine the most appropriate type of denture for your situation.
Preliminary Impressions
Initial impressions of your mouth are taken to create custom trays for more precise final impressions.
Detailed Impressions
Using the custom trays, detailed impressions are taken to capture the exact contours of your gums and any remaining teeth.
Measurements and Shade Selection
Jaw relations are recorded, and the most appropriate tooth shape and shade are selected to complement your facial features and create a natural appearance.
Try-in Appointment
A wax version of your denture is created for you to try in, allowing adjustments to be made to the fit, appearance, and bite before the final denture is fabricated.
Final Fitting
Your completed denture is fitted, with adjustments made as necessary to ensure comfort and function. Your dentist will provide detailed care and usage instructions.

Aftercare
Clean your dentures daily by brushing with a soft denture brush and mild soap or denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste, which can be abrasive). Soak dentures overnight in water or a denture-soaking solution. Handle dentures carefully over a folded towel or basin of water to prevent damage if dropped. Remove and rinse dentures after eating. Continue to brush your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth. Visit your dentist regularly to check the fit of your dentures and the health of your mouth, as dentures may need adjustment or replacement over time as your mouth naturally changes.

"My partial denture from Confidental Clinic has exceeded my expectations. It fits so well that I forget I'm wearing it, and it blends perfectly with my remaining teeth. The process was thoroughly explained at each stage, and any adjustments were made promptly. I'm very pleased with the result and the care I received."
