Denture oral examinations and consultations are crucial steps in ensuring the proper fit, function, and overall oral health of individuals who wear dentures. These sessions typically involve a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s oral cavity, dentures, and surrounding tissues.
At Michael Delsaut Denture Clinic we follow a personalized protocol for our denture oral examinations and consultations. Michael Delsaut DD brings his expertise and experience to ensure that each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs. His consultations may include discussions on various denture options, materials, and techniques to achieve the best possible outcome for your oral health and overall well-being.
Our Examination and Consultation Protocol:
- Initial Assessment: The process begins with a thorough examination of the patient’s oral health history, including any existing medical conditions or medications that might impact their oral health.
- Evaluation of Existing Dentures: If the patient already wears dentures, the denturist will assess their fit, stability, and overall condition. This involves checking for signs of wear, damage, or poor fit that could affect the patient’s comfort and oral function.
- Oral Examination: The denturist will carefully examine the patient’s oral tissues, including the gums, palate, and any remaining natural teeth. This helps identify any issues such as gum disease, oral lesions, or bone resorption that may impact denture fit or function.
- Discussion of Concerns and Goals: During the consultation, the patient is encouraged to discuss any concerns they have regarding their dentures or oral health. This could include discomfort, difficulty chewing or speaking, or aesthetic preferences.
- Recommendations and Treatment Plan: Based on the examination findings and the patient’s goals, the denturist will recommend appropriate treatments or adjustments. This could range from simple adjustments to the existing dentures to the fabrication of new dentures if needed.
