What Happens During Your Free Consultation
Your first visit to Shreve Denture Clinic follows a clear process. We gather important information about your oral health and address your specific denture needs.
Your Oral Health Check
Your denturist examines your mouth, jaw, and gums. This check finds any dental problems and shows which dentures work best for you. The exam looks at your gum health, jaw alignment, and remaining teeth. Our in-house lab technician will measure your jaw and checks how your upper and lower teeth meet. This information helps create dentures that fit properly and work naturally when you eat and speak.
Your denturist checks for gum disease, bone loss, or tissue problems. Finding these issues early helps create a better treatment plan. Some conditions need treatment before you get dentures. Our professional team explains any needed steps clearly.
Discussion About Your Needs
Next we have an open conversation about any of your concerns, and next steps. Our professional denturists will cover:
- Problems with eating, speaking, or smiling
- Foods you want to eat again
- How you want your dentures to look
- Worries about the denture process
- Your daily lifestyle needs
This talk helps Kristin and her team understand your goals and current lifestyle. Some patients want natural-looking dentures. Others focus on eating better. Shreve Denture Clinic creates solutions based on these options, and what matters most to you.
Taking Impressions of Your Mouth
Your denturist takes impressions during the consultation. These impressions show the exact shape of your gums, jaw, and teeth. Accurate impressions help your dentures fit well, and if they start to slip we offer relines and repairs.
Modern materials make the denture lining more comfortable, and with less irritation when eating. We explain each step of the denture making process so you feel at ease. No matter if you need Full Dentures, or just partials.
Your Personal Treatment Plan
Your denturist creates a treatment plan based on your exam and impressions. This plan shows which denture type you need, how many visits are required, and the timeline.
Your plan fits your situation. Someone needing tooth removal gets a different plan than someone who already has no teeth. Shreve Denture Clinic makes sure your plan matches your needs.
Your Denture Options
During your free denture consultation, you learn about different denture types and which works best for you.
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all teeth in your upper or lower jaw. These removable dentures help you eat, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. Modern full dentures look natural and fit comfortably. They support your face and prevent the sunken look that happens with tooth loss. Full dentures restore your ability to enjoy meals and speak without worry. You can eat most foods again and smile freely in social situations.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures fill gaps from missing teeth. They keep your remaining natural teeth in place. These dentures attach to your existing teeth with clasps. This gives you a secure fit that helps you eat and smile. Partials stop your teeth from shifting and keep your jaw aligned.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants in your jawbone. This option gives you more stability than regular dentures. Your dentures will not slip when you eat or talk. Shreve Denture Clinic specializes in implant-supported dentures. Kristin Shreve Swayze offers affordable implant options for patients who want the most secure dentures.
Cost and Timeline Information
Your consultation includes a clear talk about costs and time. Shreve Denture Clinic tells you upfront what your treatment costs and how long it takes.
You get a cost breakdown for your treatment plan. This includes any prep work you need. The clinic discusses payment options and works with insurance providers to help cover costs.
Timeline estimates help you plan around work and family. Full dentures need several visits over a few weeks. Same-day repairs take just hours. Your denturist gives you realistic timeframes for each step.
After Your Consultation
Once you decide to get dentures, your treatment follows planned steps.
Making Your Dentures
Your impressions go to the dental lab where technicians create your dentures. Shreve Denture Clinic employs Joanna Leong, R.D.T., who has over 23 years of experience making dentures. This in-house work ensures quality and faster results.
Making dentures involves creating models from your impressions. Technicians select teeth that match your natural tooth color and shape. They set these teeth in a base that looks like gum tissue. Every detail matters to make your dentures look natural and work well.
Trying On Your Dentures
Before finalizing your dentures, you try on a test version. This wax try-in lets you see how your dentures look and feel. You can request changes easily at this stage. You give feedback on tooth color, size, position, and overall look.
This step is important for your satisfaction. Patient reviews show the clinic takes time to help select teeth that look natural. Your feedback during try-in ensures your dentures look the way you want.
Final Fitting and Follow-Up
When your dentures are ready, you return for final fitting. Your denturist checks the fit, bite, and appearance. You get instructions on how to care for your dentures and keep your mouth clean.
Follow-up visits handle any needed adjustments as you get used to your dentures. Shreve Denture Clinic provides same-day adjustments and repairs to keep you comfortable.
If you got immediate dentures after tooth removal, you return for a follow-up once your gums heal. Your denturist may suggest relines or create new dentures that fit your healed gums.
