An immediate denture may be the best solution when complete extractions of your remaining teeth are unavoidable. An immediate denture will allow you to avoid the embarrassment of living without teeth. We will begin the preparation for this procedure before your teeth are extracted.

 

The first step is taking impressions of your existing teeth and gums to create accurate duplicates for placement after tooth removal. At your extraction appointment, your immediate dentures are inserted creating a natural smile you can be proud of.

What you should know about immediate dentures

 

In most cases, we have no way of checking the fit of the denture in your mouth prior to extraction. Aesthetic compromises may have to be made in some cases to compensate for inadequate space or structural concerns.

After Extraction

 

Great care should be taken to follow all postoperative instructions. Your gums and bone will recede after extraction. Regular check-ups and maintenance will be useful in monitoring your healing, in order to reduce problems. Temporary linings or tissue conditioners will be required to create an optimal fit and may need to be adjusted or replaced a number of times during the healing period. A permanent reline will be required to ensure a comfortable and exact fit after you have completely healed.

  • The professionals at Port Arthur Smiles will advise you of the procedure that best suits your individual needs.
