Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are provided on the same day as your tooth extraction, ensuring you're not without teeth during the healing process. They are pre-made before your extraction appointment and adjusted for a temporary fit over your gums as they heal. This option is convenient for those looking for an immediate solution to tooth loss but will require adjustments or replacement with permanent dentures once healing is complete.

Who Should Consider Immediate Dentures?

Individuals planning to have their remaining teeth extracted and wish to avoid the embarrassment of living without teeth.
Those needing a temporary solution while awaiting the fabrication of permanent dentures.

Process of Getting Immediate Dentures

01. Pre-Extraction Planning

Impressions and measurements of your current teeth are taken to design the dentures.

02. Denture Fabrication

Based on your oral measurements, immediate dentures are crafted to resemble your natural teeth or improved according to your preference.

03. Tooth Extraction

Scheduled extractions are performed by your dentist or oral surgeon.

04. Denture Insertion

The immediate dentures are inserted immediately after extractions, often while the mouth is still under local anesthetic.

05. Adjustment Period

Follow-up visits are essential for adjustments and to monitor the healing process.

06. Temporary Liner Additions

As gums shrink and heal, temporary liners may be added to ensure a proper fit.

07. Permanent Reline or New Denture

After the healing period, a permanent reline or a new denture may be necessary for a long-term solution.
