 Frequently Asked Questions:

 

What Is Express Service?

  • We believe nothing can replace service and patient satisfaction.  Appointments are recommended. Be in at 8AM, and in most cases, have your dentures the same day.  We understand the need for promptness.
  • Be prepared though.  After your impressions are taken, we ask that you remain in the office for approximately 45 minutes more so that additional measurements may be taken if necessary.  We will try our best to have you out of the office by 11:30AM.

 

Will You Make Just A Single Denture?

  • Absolutely!  But, please keep in mind that if you already wear dentures or partials and have an existing older denture or partial that you want to wear together with a new one, the Doctor must evaluate the existing in order to be sure of feasibility.
  • We do not take this matter lightly.  Wearing an old denture with teeth that are worn from years of chewing, in combination with a brand new denture, could possibly cause serious irreparable damage to the supporting bone and mandibular joint (jaw).

Why A Custom Denture?
  • Custom dentures are first made up in wax, allowing you a chance to try them in.
  • At this fitting you can change the tooth size, whiteness or position, make the denture longer, fuller, wider or smaller, to give you that "special personalized look."
  • Once you are satisfied - only then will the denture be processed according to your wishes.  You personally control the outcome of the final appearance.

 
What Is A Custom Denture?

  • Each custom denture is master-crafted, which means to you, no pre-made matrixes are used .  You will receive authentically personalized dentures which will be properly fitted to your mouth . 
  • We offer complete general dentistry service.  Through prompt courteous service we dedicate ourselves to you .  We have highly trained doctors, technicians and support staff .  .  .  people who understand what you want and deserve . 
  • Each of the doctors and staff pledge to you, all of their attention, skill and care and stand ready to serve you any way they can . 

 

What Are Adjustments?

  • Adjustments are traditionally made to a new denture or partial denture at no charge for the first three months after its acquisition. 
  • The simplest way to explain an adjustment is when the Doctor or assistant take from the denture in areas that have been causing the wearer soreness, agitation or discomfort.  For example, during chewing or biting, if one side of the denture hits before the other side, or inflamed areas of the gums appear after wearing the denture, or if you feel like the denture is gagging you because of its length, all would be just cause for an adjustment.
  • Adjustments and relines are not the same.  See, What Is A Reline?
  • Adjustments are made Monday thru Friday, starting at 1:00 PM on a first come first serve basis and by appointment.

 

What Is A Reline?

  • A reline refers to a laboratory process that literally relines the inside of a denture or partial denture with new acrylic material for a tighter fit.
  • A patient who has an "Immediate Denture" inserted after extractions or surgery will find that after about 3 months or so, the denture will have become loose and require a reline.
  • In the case of an older denture or partial denture, a reline may help improve the fit, but only to a degree.  In many cases, it's just time for a new denture or partial.   
  • Giganti Dental will not reline a foreign denture (a denture not made by us).
  • There is a charge for relines, please call for information.

 

Will I Need The Full Amount Of Money Due For Services Rendered On The Day Of My Appointment?

  • Yes.  Since many of the services provided are completed the day of the appointment, along with the fact that Giganti Dental does not accept personal checks, insurance or payment plans as forms of payment, payment in full for services rendered are expected that day.

 

How Much Money Will I Need To Bring?

  • Please keep in mind that it is extremely difficult to know exactly what type of work needs to be performed on a patient over the telephone, especially when every person has a different way of explaining their particular problem.  Please call our office with a brief description of what type of work is needed.  The receptionists will do their best to give price ranges and also some hard figures. 
  • In many instances, only a consultation with one of our doctors would allow an accurate estimate, after all, the doctor is the one making the diagnosis with the help of x-rays.
