Introduction
Congratulations, and welcome to the Celara

Denture System! The Celara System was developed to
help dental professionals to successfully treat the expanding population of denture patients.
Traditional denture techniques are lengthy, cumbersome and often lead to unpredictable results. In
addition, over the last several years, denture training is being de-emphasized in dental schools. The
bottom line is that fewer dentists would like to treat denture cases, while the demand for denture
treatment is increasing.

Replacing a Patient’s Existing Denture
“Why Start From Scratch?”
It is accepted practice that patients should have their complete dentures replaced every 5–7 years
to compensate for shrinkage of the ridges and the wear of the teeth. Making a new denture for
existing denture wearers can be one of the most challenging procedures dentists can perform.
Why? Patients often have trouble adapting and adjusting to the new denture — especially
when the dentist starts from scratch — when few, if any, attributes of the old dentures can be
adequately communicated to the laboratory. The Celara Denture Technique enables dentists to
routinely fabricate dentures in three simple appointments with better patient satisfaction and fewer
adjustments. This is all accomplished with precise communication between the patient, the doctor,
and the dental laboratory.
