Teeth form an important part of your overall appearance. False teeth can, therefore, be seen as a major change in how a person is viewed. Lassus Tandartsen has specialized in the development of dentures for quite some time. Our certified personnel will ensure that you receive high-quality prosthetic teeth designed to have a natural and impressive appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the first appointment, a preliminary impression is taken of your mouth using a stock tray that is filled with alginate, a sort of liquid rubber. The preliminary impression is sent to our dental laboratory where it is filled with gypsum. A preliminary cast and a custom tray are created that will be used for a precise-impression that is required for your dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the second appointment, the custom tray is used to make the individual impression from which the dentures will be made. This way we can be sure that the edges and boundaries of the dentures won\u2019t cause problems. The custom tray contains a hard layer that will record the muscle attachments. With a liquid silicon material, we\u2019ll use the custom tray to make the precise and definitive impression. The most used mouth movements will be simulated so that we\u2019ll know which final design your prosthesis will require.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The third appointment focuses on the measurement and bite determination. With help from the new impression model, the positions and sizes of the teeth are measured. We also register the distance and position between the lower and upper jaw and can decide where your teeth will be placed. This appointment can also be used to discuss the shape and color of the teeth that will be used in the dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the fourth appointment, the dentures are almost ready. The purpose of the fourth appointment is to test the prosthesis to make sure that it fits properly and that the aesthetics meet your expectations based on the choices you made during the third appointment. If any adjustments are required these will be sent to the dental lab technician who will take these into account and will make your new dentures with the help of artificial materials. By the fifth appointment, you\u2019ll receive your new definitive and final prosthesis to take home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
