Final Custom Dentures
Dr. Frey utilizes a comprehensive approach to develop comfortable final dentures, which give a pleasing facial and dental appearance along with acceptable function. Denture stability and one’s ability to chew varies greatly from one individual to another; therefore, Dr. Frey will start your final denture as a “treatment denture” which will be used to condition your oral tissues, to improve dental and facial appearance, and to develop acceptable chewing function.
Every effort will be made so that you will not have “the denture look”. When the denture is first delivered to you as a treatment denture, it will have a soft treatment liner between the base and your gums. This soft liner material will help rehabilitate your tissues back to health and at the same time will produce a functional impression of your ridge while you chew. Over time, a series of these liners will be placed, each of which will contribute to the ultimate fit of the final denture.

When you are completely comfortable, you really like the appearance, and you are satisfied with the degree of function that has been accomplished for your particular oral conditions, the last tissue conditioning in the series will be used as a blueprint for the final reline which will produce your final permanent denture.
