Immediate Dentures

An immediate denture may be the best solution when complete extractions of your remaining teeth are unavoidable. It will allow you to avoid the embarrassment of living without teeth. We will begin preparing for this procedure before your teeth are extracted.

The first step is taking impressions of your existing teeth and gums to create accurate duplicates for placement after tooth removal. Your immediate dentures are inserted at your extraction appointment, creating a natural smile you can be proud of.

What you should know about immediate dentures

In most cases, we cannot check the denture’s fit in your mouth before extraction. In some cases, aesthetic compromises may have to be made to compensate for inadequate space or structural concerns.

After Extraction

Great care should be taken to follow all postoperative instructions. Your gums and bones will recede after extraction, and regular check-ups and maintenance will monitor healing and reduce problems. Temporary linings or tissue conditioners will be required to create an optimal fit and may need to be adjusted or replaced several times during the healing period. A permanent denture reline will be necessary to ensure a comfortable and exact fit after you have completed the healing process.
