What Are Immediate Dentures?
Immediate dentures are a type of dental prosthesis designed to be placed immediately after your natural teeth have been removed. We prepare your same-day dentures in advance based on impressions taken before your teeth are extracted so you can receive them at the same time as your procedure. This means you won't have to go without teeth during the healing period. Immediate dentures offer several benefits, such as:
- Preserving your appearance and ability to speak normally
- Protecting your gums during the healing process
- Helping to minimize gum bleeding
- Allowing you to have a functional smile on the same day as your extraction
Types of Immediate Dentures
Depending on your unique situation, your immediate dentures could be temporary or your final prosthetic. Most often, a transitional denture is given until you are fully healed, at which point we can craft your final set of dentures. The two most common types of immediate dentures include:
- Full dentures replace all of your teeth in one or both dental arches. We craft these dentures to fit the entire gum ridge, helping maintain facial structure and chewing function while your gums heal.
- Partial dentures are designed to fill in gaps left by missing teeth when you have some remaining natural teeth. They typically have metal or acrylic clasps that use the remaining natural teeth for stability.
Our Same-Day Dentures Process
We strive to make getting your immediate dentures as smooth as possible. During your initial appointment, we'll discuss your oral health, the need for extractions, and your goals for tooth replacement to develop a personalized treatment plan. We will then take detailed impressions of your smile to create custom-fitted immediate dentures that fit comfortably and securely.
We work closely with a partner in our group to perform any necessary tooth extractions. Once your extractions are complete, we will fit you with your same-day dentures. You can rest assured that we do everything we can to ensure they are comfortable and feel natural so you have a functional smile immediately after your extractions.
Benefits of Our In-House Denture Lab
We are proud to craft all our dentures in-house, so we can take care of all your denture needs swiftly and efficiently. If at any point your immediate dentures need a relining or repair while your gums are still healing, we can help. As your gums heal and stabilize, we work with you to transition from your immediate dentures to a more permanent solution without the waiting period or hassle of working with an outside denture lab.
FAQs About Immediate Dentures
If you're facing tooth extraction, it's natural to be concerned about the transition period and have questions about immediate dentures. Our team is here to help you feel confident in your care and be by your side throughout the process. Some common questions our team receives include:
Most of the time, immediate dentures are designed to be a temporary solution to replace missing teeth while your gums heal. During the first few months after tooth extraction, your gums will likely undergo significant changes in shape and size. Once they are healed, usually after 3-6 months, we can begin to transition to a more permanent solution.
Many patients experience initial discomfort with their same-day dentures, but this is often temporary. You can expect an adjustment period as your gums begin to heal. If your immediate dentures continue to cause discomfort and make it difficult to have a functional smile, our team can help adjust them.
Clean your immediate dentures regularly as directed by our denturist, and avoid particularly hard, crunchy, or sticky foods to avoid damaging the dentures or your gums. Additionally, it's important to maintain good oral health while your gums heal.
