Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions regarding their treatment options. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following denture-related questions:

1. What type of denture is right for me?
   
   
2. Will I have to have any teeth removed?
   
   
3. How many visits will it take to prepare my teeth and mouth for my denture?
   
   
4. Will I need to have a root canal treatment before a denture can be placed?
   
   
5. Will I have to go without teeth for a while? For how long?
   
   
6. How should I care for my denture?
   
   
7. How often should I schedule an appointment to check the fit of my denture and make any necessary adjustments?
   
   
8. How often will my denture need rebasing or relining?
   
   
9. How long is my denture likely to last?
   
   
10. Are there any alternatives to dentures for replacing my missing teeth?
