Immediate Dentures: Never Be Without Your Smile
Transition to dentures with confidence. Immediate dentures are placed instantly after tooth extraction, ensuring you leave our clinic with a full smile.
What Are Immediate Dentures?
An immediate denture is a complete or partial denture inserted on the same day, immediately following the removal of natural teeth. The most significant advantage is that you don’t have to go through a healing period without teeth.
Besides aesthetics, the immediate denture acts as a bandage to protect the tissues and reduce bleeding after extraction. It establishes your speech patterns and chewing function early in the healing process.
Because bone and gums shrink during healing, immediate dentures establish a preliminary fit that will require relining or replacement once your tissues have fully stabilized (usually after 3-6 months).
Key Advantages
No need to appear in public without teeth
Acts as a protective "bandage" for gums
Helps minimize facial distortion
Allows you to adjust to speech early
Restores chewing function faster
Important Consideration
It is crucial to understand that as your gums heal and shrink over the first few months, the fit of the immediate denture will change. You will likely require a denture reline (resurfacing) or a new permanent denture after the healing process is complete. Our team will guide you through this entire journey.
