At Christina Brinda DDS in North Canton we believe in helping our patients understand every step of their journey to a restored smile. Dr. Christina Brinda is a dentist who specializes in dentures  and is excited to walk you through how these life changing appliances are meticulously crafted.

Step 1: Your Initial Consultation and Impressions

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation at Christina Brinda DDS. During this visit, Dr. Christian Brinda and her staff will walk you through the following steps.

Assess Your Oral Health

Dr. Christina Brinda will examine your gums as well as jawbone structure.  She will also look at any remaining teeth to determine the best treatment plan.  These steps will help Dr. Brinda guide you through the best options for you and your smile.

Discuss Your Needs and Goals

Once the assessment is complete, Dr. Christina Brinda will sit with you and will talk about your preferences for appearance, comfort and the overall outcome you desire.  Understanding your lifestyle as well as habits will help shape the treatment plan.

Take Impressions

Precise molds, with the help of impressions are taken of your mouth. These impressions are crucial as they serve as the blueprint for your custom dentures. We may also take measurements of your jaw relationship and how your upper and lower jaws fit together.

Step 2: Creating a Wax Bite Block

Based on the initial impressions, a dental lab creates a wax bite block. This isn’t your final denture, but a temporary model that helps us capture the exact relationship between your upper and lower jaws. During your next appointment, Dr. Christina Brinda will use this to help with the following steps.

Determine Your Bite

Establish the correct vertical dimension and how your teeth should meet when you bite down.

Select Your Teeth

You’ll help choose the size, shape and shade of the artificial teeth.  This ensures they look natural and complement your facial features.

Step 3: The Wax Try In: Your First Look!

This is an exciting step! The dental lab sets the chosen artificial teeth into a wax base, mimicking the final shape of your denture. You’ll get to try on this wax try in.

Evaluate Aesthetics

This is your chance to see how the teeth look in your mouth. We’ll check the color, shape and alignment to ensure you love your new smile.

Check Fit and Function

Dr. Christina Brinda and her dental lab staff will assess the fit against your gums and how you speak and bite. Any necessary adjustments to the fit, bite or appearance can be made at this stage. Your feedback is incredibly important here, as this is the closest preview you will get of your finished dentures.

Step 4: Final Processing and Finishing

Once you and Dr. Brinda are completely satisfied with the wax try in, the partial denture goes back to the dental lab for final processing.

Heat-Cured Acrylic

Meanwhile the wax base is replaced with durable, gum-colored acrylic resin, which is then heat cured to create a strong, long lasting denture base.

Polishing

The finished denture is carefully polished to ensure a smooth and comfortable surface.

Step 5: Delivery and Adjustments

Your final, beautifully crafted dentures are now ready! During your final appointment at Christina Brinda DDS and her staff will perform the last steps.

Initial Placement

Dr. Brinda will place the dentures in your mouth, checking for comfort and fit.

Final Adjustments

Minor adjustments are often needed to ensure maximum comfort and a perfect bite. We’ll provide detailed instructions on how to care for your new dentures.
