Immediate Dentures
Immediate Dentures
An immediate denture is a great option when your remaining teeth need to be removed. It allows you to avoid going without teeth, helping you maintain your appearance and confidence right after extraction.
Before your procedure, impressions of your teeth and gums are taken to create a custom denture that fits your mouth. On the day your teeth are removed, the denture is placed immediately, so you leave with a complete, natural-looking smile.
This approach ensures a smoother transition, helping you speak and function more comfortably while your gums heal.
What You Should Know About Immediate Dentures
Since immediate dentures are made before your teeth are removed, their fit cannot be fully tested in advance. In some cases, minor adjustments or aesthetic compromises may be needed to ensure proper fit and function after placement.
After Extraction
Following your extraction, it’s important to carefully follow all aftercare instructions. As your gums and bone heal, they naturally shrink, so regular check-ups help monitor progress and keep everything on track.
During healing, temporary liners or tissue conditioners may be used to improve the fit of your denture. These may need adjustments or replacement a few times as your mouth changes. Once healing is complete, a permanent reline is typically done to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
