What to expect
WHAT TO EXPECT
We extend our sincere gratitude to you for choosing Lima Denture Clinic for your denture needs. Your trust is valued, and we are committed to ensuring a smooth and satisfying experience throughout the fabrication process. As outlined during Your discussions with the denturist, the creation of your new dentures will involve approximately four appointments, each serving a specific purpose:
​
Appointment 1: CONSULTATION
​
Your initial meeting with the denturists will include determining the most suitable denture for you. A detailed quote will be provided, and should you decide to proceed with the treatment plan, impressions will be taken. To initiate the process, a 50% deposit of the total amount will be collected, and a second appointment will be scheduled.
​
Appointment 2: BITE REGISTRATION AND TOOTH SELECTION
​
Selection during this session, the denturist will use a bite block prepared for you to capture your bite registration, determining the optimal placement of the teeth. Simultaneously, the most fitting tooth—considering color, size, and shape—will be selected.
​
Appointment 3: TRY-IN
​
This crucial step involves checking for:
-
Proper occlusion (contact between teeth) and bite
-
Appearance of the teeth and denture in relation to your facial features
-
Color and shape of the teeth to complement your complexion
-
Phonetics (speech sounds), a pivotal aspect of denture fabrication
We encourage you to bring a relative or friend to share their opinion on your new denture. Any necessary adjustments will be made to meet your needs. If required, an additional appointment may be scheduled for a further try-in after adjustments.
​
APPOINTMENT 4: INSERT
​
The awaited day has arrived—your new denture is ready. During this appointment, your occlusion/bite will be rechecked, and any minor irritation or pressure points will be addressed. You may experience temporary differences in speech, but rest assured, you will quickly adapt to the changes.
Thank you once again for choosing Lima Denture Clinic in Perth. We look forward to providing you with a denture that not only meets but exceeds your expectations.

Warm regards,
Caner Karaceper DD
