Welcome to Moore Denture Clinic Clinical Laboratory

             Complete dentures are needed when you have no remaining natural teeth. Every mouth is different and each person will respond differently to dentures. At the beginning of your denture treatment, your providing denturist will do an examination of your mouth to establish the treatment plan. Your denturist will also use the evidence from this exam will provide a prognosis, the denturist's professional opinion on how they believe you will adapt to being a denture wearer. Even in some complicated conditions, we have seen the mouth be incredibly adaptable - if you're willing to work hard during the adapting period, which can be anywhere from 1-6 weeks, you can have many years of denture success! We are here not just to make you your new teeth, but to walk alongside you and help you on this journey.
