Tissue Conditioner:
Home Care:

Tissue conditioner is used in an effort to restore the health of your tissues for the denture foundation.
The material will remain in your denture for 7 days after which time, mast impressions will be taken to start the fabrication of your dentures.
Tissue conditioner is also used to extend the borders of your current denture in areas that are currently not being utilized. These areas can be aide in providing the maximum retention of the new or about to be relined denture(s).
We also use tissue conditioning material with immediate dentures. It helps with the fit of the dentures during the healing process of the extraction sites before a hard reline is required.
Please Remember!
Tissue conditioner is NOT A PERMSNENT SOLUTION!
It needs to be monitored and/or changed regularly.
Please Read!
This material takes 24 hours to completely set/harden. Before you leave from the tissue conditioner appointment, we will attempt to smooth out any material that may have flowed over the borders of your denture that may cause some minor discomfort. Should you still require an adjustment the following day to smooth any rough edges, please simply stop by the clinic. No appointment necessary.
