Following on from question 6, “How do you ensure the appearance of the denture is life-like?“, in our series of 9 key questions you should ask the dentist making your dentures, here is question 7:

If the finished dentures need adjustments how is this done?

Good answer: If the dentist does not use pressure indicating paste I would expect him to explain that adjustments should be carefully done with a minimal amount of adjustment i.e. it is better for you to come back two or three times than have too much taken of the denture in one go.

TDIC answer: We use a special paste to shown up any high spots, as minimal adjustment is very important to ensure the strength of the denture.

The above questions are really suggestions to stimulate a discussion between the dentist and patient. If the dentist is willing to spend time answering these questions and is knowledgeable about the answers it is more likely he will spend more time with you to ensure the best results.
