If you’ve ever planned a wedding, you understand the amount of work that goes into it. From the clothes to the table settings, every detail matters. Things like booking a venue, hair, makeup, and even the photographer are often necessary a year in advance. Then comes the dress or suit shopping (which is an all-day affair), as well as visiting a florist and tasting cakes at a bakery. Between all these appointments and payments, planning a wedding is both exhausting and incredibly worthwhile. In some ways, getting new dentures is the same! The denture process is a lengthy and multi-step procedure that involves multiple appointments. Between the consultation, planning, impressions, fabrication, and trying it on, it can take weeks or even months to restore your smile! Fortunately, Riviera Dental Care has an amazing denture center that fabricates and fits your denture in just one day!

Your Day at Our Denture Center

If you’re in need of a brand-new denture, visit our denture center in Foley, AL! In just one day, we can create a custom prosthetic and send you home with a fully functional smile.

The process is simple and is typically done between a few sessions spread throughout the day.

Morning Appointment

In the morning, you’ll come in for your consultation with Dr. Hanson, the lead dentist at our comprehensive denture center.

Here, we’ll discuss your goals and desires to ensure your new denture looks the way you want it to. Additionally, we will take impressions of your smile to get a detailed image of your teeth. With this image, Dr. Hanson is able to create a model for your new smile, tailoring the design to your preferences.

Mid-Morning Appointment

Our in-house denture center utilizes innovative technology, such as CAD/CAM and 3D printing. With these tools, we fabricate your denture from high-quality materials built to last.

Using your impressions and the denture model as a guide, these machines craft your smile with incredible attention to detail. Their precision technology allows us to create a prosthetic that fits perfectly in your smile, sitting comfortably on your gums.

During this appointment, we’ll do a try-on with the teeth set in wax to check the fit and appearance. From there, we’ll make any necessary adjustments to your denture design before finalizing your prosthetic.

Afternoon Appointment

Once your final denture is complete, you’ll return to our office in Foley, AL, that afternoon for a final denture fitting. We’ll check the alignment of your bite, the look, and the feel of your dentures to ensure your comfort. If you encounter any issues, we’re typically able to correct them immediately.

Before sending you off with your new smile, we’ll provide comprehensive after-care instructions on how to care for your dentures. Maintaining your oral hygiene routines and visiting us at Riviera Dental Care for regular dental visits ensures that your smile will remain happy and healthy for years to come!

The Benefits of Same-Day Dentures

At our denture center, we offer a same-day denture process that provides numerous advantages over traditional denture procedures. These include:

Fewer appointments: Although you will have a few appointments throughout the day, our same-day dentures reduce the total number of visits. Rather than spending hours in the dentist’s chair over a few months, you’ll be in and out of our denture center in just one day!
Less waiting: The traditional denture process involves waiting weeks, if not a month, without teeth. Fortunately, we’re able to significantly reduce this timeline, restoring your smile in a single day.
Immediate function: Because patients like you typically have to wait a while for functional teeth, they have to deal with the consequences of tooth loss for longer. This means that while you wait for your denture, you’ll still struggle to speak clearly or chew effectively. With same-day dentures from Riviera Dental Care, you can begin chewing and speaking normally that very same day!
