Immediate Dentures by Local Denturist
Immediate Placement Dentures
Immediate dentures are used when a patient requires the removal of all remaining teeth and needs a replacement set right away. They are placed immediately after extractions, allowing patients to leave the clinic with a complete smile rather than experiencing a period without teeth.
Because a mold of the teeth and gums is taken before the extraction procedure, the dentures can be pre-made to fit as closely and comfortably as possible. This approach offers both functional and emotional support during what can be a significant transition. We understand that facing tooth loss can be overwhelming, and immediate dentures help ease that concern by providing an immediate, natural-looking treatment. After healing, some patients may later transition to

What are immediate dentures?
Immediate dentures are a full set of dentures prepared in advance and inserted on the same day your remaining teeth are removed. This allows you to avoid being without teeth during the healing period while maintaining your appearance and basic function.
How are immediate dentures made before extractions?
Before your teeth are removed, we take detailed impressions and measurements of your mouth. Using this information, your dentures are fabricated in advance so they can be placed immediately after extractions, providing a smoother transition.
Will immediate dentures fit perfectly right away?
Immediate dentures are designed to fit as closely as possible on the day of placement. However, as your gums and bone heal, natural shrinkage occurs. Because of this, adjustments and possible relines are typically required to maintain comfort and stability.
How long will I need to wear immediate dentures?
Immediate dentures are often considered a temporary solution during healing. Most patients wear them for several months while the gums and bone stabilize. After healing, a reline or new set of dentures may be recommended for a more precise long-term fit.
How do I care for immediate dentures after surgery?
You will receive detailed instructions following your procedure. In most cases, dentures remain in place for the first 24 hours before removal for cleaning. After that, daily cleaning and careful handling are essential to support healing and maintain hygiene.
