the denture development process takes about three weeks to 1. 5 months and several appointments. once your dentist or prosthodontist (a dentist who specializes in the restoration and replacement of teeth) determines what type of appliance is best for you the general steps are to: make a series of impressions of your jaw and take measurements of how your jaws relate to one another and how much space is between them. create models wax forms and/or plastic patterns in the exact shape and position of the denture to be made. you will "try in" this model several times and the denture will be assessed for color shape and fit before the final denture is cast. cast a final denture adjustments will be made as necessary
