Complete Denture Maxillary
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
Complete denture maxillary, commonly referred to as an upper denture, is a custom-made dental prosthesis designed to replace all missing teeth in the upper jaw. This procedure is typically performed on patients who have lost most or all of their upper teeth due to age, trauma, or dental diseases like periodontitis. The maxillary denture helps restore function and aesthetics, allowing patients to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
The process of creating a maxillary denture involves taking detailed impressions of the patient's upper jaw. These impressions ensure that the denture fits snugly, providing the best possible comfort and functionality. The materials used in the denture's construction typically include acrylic resins, which are both durable and lightweight. Dentists may also use porcelain for the denture teeth, which enhances the aesthetics by mimicking the natural look of real teeth.
In some cases, patients may require bone grafting or other preparatory procedures before getting their complete denture. This is especially true if there has been significant bone loss in the upper jaw, as dentures need a stable bone structure for proper retention. After any necessary preparatory work, the dentures are fitted and adjusted over a series of appointments to ensure the best possible fit, comfort, and function for the patient.
Procedure Duration
The process of receiving a complete maxillary denture typically takes several weeks and includes multiple appointments. The first step involves a comprehensive oral examination, during which the dentist will assess the patient's oral health, take x-rays, and evaluate the condition of the jawbone and gums. If any extractions are required, they will be scheduled, and the gums must heal fully before the dentures can be placed. Healing times can vary depending on the individual, but generally, it takes around 6-8 weeks for the gums to recover sufficiently for the next stage.
Following the healing period, the dentist will take detailed impressions of the upper jaw. This step is crucial, as it ensures the denture will fit properly. The impressions are sent to a dental laboratory, where technicians use the molds to craft the custom-fitted denture. The creation of the denture may take 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity and the materials chosen.
Once the denture is ready, the patient returns for a fitting appointment, where the dentist carefully adjusts the denture to ensure comfort and functionality. Several follow-up visits may be required to fine-tune the fit and resolve any discomfort. Patients can typically resume normal activities within a few days of receiving the denture, though some may require a short adjustment period as they get used to wearing it.

- India
India is known for its cost-effective dental care, particularly in cities like Mumbai and Bangalore. Indian dental clinics offer advanced treatment options, including complete dentures, at a fraction of the price charged in Western countries, making it a popular destination for medical tourists.
Risks & Considerations
- Discomfort and Soreness:
Some patients experience discomfort or soreness when adjusting to wearing a new denture. Follow-up appointments are essential to resolve these issues.
- Bone Loss Over Time:
Without the stimulation of natural teeth, the bone in the jaw may gradually shrink, leading to changes in the fit of the denture over time. Regular adjustments may be needed.
- Allergies to Materials:
Although rare, some patients may experience allergic reactions to the materials used in the denture, such as acrylic resin or certain metals.
- Reduced Taste Perception:
Wearing a complete denture can slightly affect the ability to taste food, especially if the denture covers the palate.
- Slippage:
Dentures may occasionally slip out of place while speaking or eating, especially if they do not fit properly. Using denture adhesive or undergoing adjustments can help mitigate this issue.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
When selecting a dentist and clinic for a complete maxillary denture, patients should consider several key factors. First and foremost, ensure the dentist has extensive experience in prosthodontics and the creation of complete dentures. It’s important to choose a dentist who regularly performs this procedure and can provide references or reviews from satisfied patients.
Patients should also look for a clinic with modern equipment and technologies, as this can greatly impact the accuracy of the impressions and the quality of the final denture. Additionally, hygiene standards and patient care protocols are critical considerations, particularly for international patients traveling for medical tourism.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
