Process of Denture Flippers
- Consultation: The process begins with a consultation with Dr. Senan Najar and Jin You, DPD at Sapphire Denture. During this appointment, your oral health will be assessed, and the need for a denture flipper will be discussed.
- Impressions: If it is determined that a denture flipper is the appropriate solution for your needs, impressions of your mouth will be taken. These impressions serve as the basis for creating a custom-fit flipper.

- Fitting: Once the denture flipper is created, you will return to Sapphire Denture for a fitting. Dr. Najar and Jin will ensure that the flipper fits securely and comfortably in your mouth.
- Adjustments: If any adjustments are needed for comfort or fit, they will be made during the fitting appointment. It’s essential to communicate any concerns or areas of discomfort during this stage to ensure the best results.
