Immediate Dentures​

When natural teeth can no longer be saved and extractions are required, this denture is placed into the mouth immediately after the extractions are completed. 

In most cases, an immediate denture is the first full or partial denture a patient will receive. Immediate dentures are fabricated to replace the loss of natural teeth and inserted immediately after the removal of the natural teeth by the dentist. Naturally, any loss of your natural teeth is bothersome, but it happens to many of us. Fortunately, dentures have come a long way in the past 2 or 3 decades. 

With immediate dentures, we are able to record your existing bite and redesign your new smile through a tooth selection process, and using the natural contours of your mouth to find the best fit possible.

Benefits of Immediate Dentures

  • The patient can usually carry on daily obligations without interruption
  • Immediate dentures control bleeding and swelling and act as a splint
  • Protect the gum ndges from trauma and outside sources of debris
  • Allows the patient to adapt to the new dentures while healing is taking place with marginal discomfort

Although the advantages of immediate dentures exceed the disadvantages one cannot overlook these primary disadvantages:

  • More office visits are required for adjustments, especially during the first few weeks after insertion
  • There is no opportunity to observe the appearance of the denture before insertion, therefore the denture cannot be fully assessed until insertion is complete, sometimes resulting in less favourable results.
