Following on from question 3, “How close is the dental laboratory to the clinic?”, in our series of 9 key questions you should ask the dentist making your dentures, here is question 4:

Impressions tend to distort, what do you do to prevent this?

Good answer: There are some very good impression materials that if sent to the laboratories straight away distort less. Ideally the laboratory will be close-by so the impression will not have to lie around for too long.

TDIC answer: We cast the denture impression up straight away as we have the laboratory on site. We believe this provides the most accurate results. We also border mould the impressions which makes for better impressions and therefore a better fitting denture.

We will publish question 5 soon, but if you want to get a copy of all 9 questions contact us now to order a brochure.

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. If you are in any doubt we offer a free consultation with no obligation, you are more than welcome to come along and get another opinion.
