How long for dentures to be made?
Hi, does anyone know how long it takes to make full dentures (from the initial appointment with the dentist to fitting)? My mum needs dentures but is worried if she goes to the dentist now they wont' be ready before she goes on holiday in February.
If she still has teeth, she would need an appt for 1)exam/x-rays 2)Impressions for the lab to make the teeth then 3)extractions of all her teeth and deliver the dentures. It takes a lab 2-3 weeks to make the dentures once the impressions are taken.
If she already has dentures, it takes at least 3 visits: 1)impressions 2)wax tryins(with the new teeth set in wax) to make sure her bite is correct and she likes her new smile then 3)Delivery of her new teeth. Usually 1-2 wks between each visit.

She needs templates taking first, then all her remaining teeth out, then she needs to heal, then she needs to go back for fitting. Allow at least 2-3 weeks for this.

If she explains to the dentist they should be able to hurry it up
