Fast Acting Dental Relief
Immediate dentures are an ideal solution for patients requiring full extractions of their remaining teeth, offering the advantage of not having to go without teeth during the healing process. With immediate dentures, we can begin the preparation before tooth extraction by taking impressions of your existing teeth and gums. These impressions are used to create accurate duplicates, ensuring that your dentures fit well and look natural after extraction. At the time of your extraction appointment, your immediate dentures will be inserted, allowing you to walk out of the office with a natural-looking smile.
Sustaining Immediate Dentures
While immediate dentures are designed to fit your mouth as closely as possible, there are a few things to keep in mind. Since we cannot test the fit of the denture before extractions, some esthetic compromises may need to be made due to limited space or structural considerations. After the extractions, it is important to follow all post-operative instructions carefully to promote optimal healing. Your gums and bone will naturally recede as they heal, so regular check-ups and maintenance will be required to monitor the healing process and ensure the dentures fit well. Temporary linings or tissue conditioners may be needed during this time, and adjustments or replacements may be required. Once healing is complete, a permanent reline of your dentures will be necessary to achieve the best possible fit and comfort.
