Preparation for denture placement is a multi-step process that ensures the dentures fit well and function optimally. It begins with a thorough examination of the patient's oral health to assess the condition of their gums, jawbone, and any remaining teeth.

Impressions of the gums and teeth are taken to create an accurate model of the patient’s mouth. Based on these impressions, custom dentures are designed to ensure the best possible fit, comfort, and aesthetic appearance. In some cases, tooth extractions may be necessary prior to denture placement, and a healing period may be required.

The preparation process also includes discussing denture care and maintenance with the patient to ensure they know how to properly clean and care for their dentures after placement.
