Immediate Dentures

Losing a tooth doesn’t have to leave you feeling incomplete. Immediate dentures can give you a complete smile the same day your teeth are extracted.

As the name suggests, they are the immediate replacement for your extracted teeth. They not only fill the gaps left after tooth removal but also restore confidence, help you speak and eat with ease, and provide essential support to your healing gums.

Immediate dentures act like a placeholder while you decide on the perfect long-term solution for your smile. As they are placed soon after the removal of your teeth, they are prepared even before your teeth have been removed.

How Are Immediate Dentures Made?

We start by taking impressions of your mouth while your natural teeth are still in place. A denture is then prepared to resemble your teeth. If you need any modifications, you should let us know so that we can do any changes you request.

After your teeth are extracted, the dentist inserts your immediate dentures, ensuring the gap is filled right away.

Since these dentures can’t be tested in advance, chances are that you may find the appearance a little less appealing. However, the results are usually very satisfactory and effective.

When Should You Consider a Temporary Liner?

After tooth removal, the swelling subsides gradually. Your gums naturally shrink causing your dentures to loosen. This is the ideal time to use a temporary liner.

A temporary liner adjusts the fit of your dentures, ensuring they remain snug and comfortable while your gums are in their healing phase and are undergoing changes in their shape. Temporary liners serve as a short-term solution. When your gums and bone are ready for a more permanent option, we will recommend those that suit you the most. Your immediate dentures may need 3 to 5 temporary liners in the first 4-6 months as your gums heal.

Shift to Dentures

Moving to dentures doesn’t have to be stressful. Our goal is to guide you through the process with care and support, ensuring your experience is as smooth as possible. We work hand in hand with you to provide a quick and comfortable adjustment from natural teeth to dentures, giving you confidence every step of the way.

The Importance of Follow-Up Care for Your Dentures

Receiving your first set of dentures is just the beginning of your journey toward a confident smile and comfortable chewing. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to ensure your dentures continue to fit and function perfectly as your gums heal and adapt. Over time, natural changes in your gums and jaw may require adjustments to maintain the ideal fit. Think of these visits as fine-tuning for your dentures, ensuring they stay as comfortable and effective as the day you received them.

We, at Dentalnook, specialize in creating high-quality immediate dentures that combine outstanding comfort and ultimate fit.
