The only thing I can think of that might come up is if any teeth had
to be removed. If all this has already happened and he's just being
fitted for them, I'd just go ahead with a series. If I noticed
something in the cranium early like stuck sutures, I'd address it as
part of neck work at the end of a session (or where ever you do neck
work).

I wouldn't do a mouth session until after he'd been fitted with the
dentures and worn them for a while. Maybe for a month or more if I
had to make up a timeframe. And I would work on him without the
dentures being in his mouth.

How are your cranial skills? Depending on the amount of prep-work
needed to fit him for dentures, he may need some torsions and other
things unwound after the fitting is complete and he's worn the things
for a while.
