Quick answer

Completely customized dentures at North Hill Denture Clinic are fabricated in-house by a regulated denturist across four appointments - starting with a complimentary consultation, progressing through precise impressions and a wax try-in, and finishing at insertion. All adjustments and repairs are handled by the same professional who made the denture, with follow-up at two weeks and continued support every six months.

The process to fabricating dentures requires 4 appointments, including the complimentary initial consultation. The 1 st appointment is for taking impressions of your mouth; the 2 nd is for more complex impressions and measurements; the 3 rd is to have a Wax Try In of the denture for verification fitting with the 4 th appointment for insertion of your new denture/s. There will follow an appointment within 2 weeks to ensure the fit and function that you can expect of a customized denture. After , we will follow up with you in 6 months for continued support as well as annual check-ups.

All of our dentures are made in house by a regulated denturist. All adjustments and repairs are done in-house by the denturist who originally met with you. You can be guaranteed of truly personalized care with no wait times for an outside laboratory to do this work.

Frequently Asked

Common Questions

  • How many appointments does it take to get new dentures?

    The standard process involves four appointments: a complimentary consultation, initial and detailed impression appointments, a wax try-in to verify fit and appearance, and a final insertion appointment. A follow-up check is scheduled within the first two weeks after you receive the denture.

  • Why is it important that dentures are made in-house?

    When fabrication happens on-site, the same denturist who takes your impressions also crafts and adjusts your denture. This continuity means faster turnaround, no communication gaps with an outside lab, and a practitioner who knows your case at every step.

  • What happens at the wax try-in appointment?

    A wax model of the denture is placed in your mouth so you and the denturist can check the fit, bite, and appearance before the final denture is processed. Any changes to tooth position, size, or color are made at this stage while adjustments are still straightforward.

  • How often should I return for check-ups after getting new dentures?

    A check-up within two weeks of insertion catches any pressure points or fit issues early. After that, six-month visits for professional polishing and annual evaluations to monitor gum and bone changes are the standard schedule.
