Remember the warning "Your mouth is going

In Twana Wellman's family of talkers, free expr<

doubts about her outspokenness until she landed \

Wellman, 26, is the assistant campaign director 1
Winston-Salem's United Way office. She chanc

All Dentures Are
Many people assume that all dentures are the
same, whether you pay five dollars or five hundred
dollars. However, Dr. M.P. Nicholson,
D.D.S. is of a different opinion. With 32 years of
experience in the field of dentistry, he specializes
in lower dentures and those that are hard to fit.
The laboratory work for all dentures is done in
Dr. Nicholson's office at 620 Monmouth Street.
The two lab technicians are fully qualified, one
with 45 years experience, the other 8 years. Of
course. Dr. Nicholson himself takes all impressions,
registers bites and places all dentures. He
also makes all adjustments in the patient's mouth.
The process of making dentures is quite interesting.
Consider the fact that everyone's
mouth, jaw and teeth arc unique, like fingerprints.
On a particular day this week, one lab technician
worked meticulously placing six interior or
biting teeth and eight posterior or chewing teeth in
position on a wax model of the gums. The wax fits
over a stone reproduction of the mouth, made for
the patient after Dr. Nicholson takes an impression
of the ftbth (if there are any) and mouth.
The stone cast of the mouth is articulated, or
put on a hinge device that simulates the jaw movement.
Then the wax bite is fitted on the mold.

About four hours later, the teeth have been invested
with plaster, the wax boiled out and the
gum mixture packed in place over the teeth. Then
everything is placed in a bronze flask for the last
step - packing and curing.
After the teeth have cured in boiling water, thex
are taken out and the teeth and gums are separated
from the plaster. After a little hammering, the
pink gums and properly placed teeth emerge from
the plaster and are ready to be polished before the
final fitting.
