Immediate Dentures
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are a convenient solution for patients who need teeth removed and want to avoid going without a smile during the healing process. These dentures are prepared in advance and placed immediately after extractions, helping restore appearance, comfort, and confidence right away.
Before your procedure, our team takes detailed impressions and measurements to create dentures that fit as naturally and comfortably as possible. As your gums heal, we continue to monitor the fit and make adjustments to ensure long-term comfort and function.
What You Should Know About Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are designed before your teeth are removed, which means adjustments may be needed after placement to improve comfort and fit. Since your gums and bone naturally change during healing, follow-up visits are important to ensure your dentures continue to feel secure and function properly.
In some cases, minor aesthetic or structural compromises may be necessary to accommodate your oral condition and create the best possible result during the healing phase.
After Extraction
After your teeth are removed, proper healing and regular follow-up care are essential for the long-term comfort and fit of your immediate dentures. As your gums and bone naturally change during recovery, adjustments and relines may be needed to maintain a secure and comfortable fit.

Understanding Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are placed the same day your remaining teeth are removed, so you never have to go without teeth during healing. They protect the surgical site, help control swelling, and let you return to daily life with a complete smile right away.
The Benefits
- No time spent without teeth
- Protects gums and supports healing
- Lets you eat and speak sooner
- Acts as a guide while your mouth heals
What to Expect During Healing
Your gums and jawbone naturally shrink as they heal over the first several months. Because immediate dentures are made before extraction, they may loosen as this happens. Temporary relines keep them comfortable, and a permanent reline or new denture is made once healing is complete.
Is It Right for You?
Immediate dentures suit many patients, but the best choice depends on your oral health and goals. We evaluate your teeth and gums and walk you through the options so you can decide with confidence.

Immediate dentures are placed the same day your teeth are removed, so you are never without teeth. Conventional dentures are made after the gums heal, usually giving a more precise initial fit.
Your gums shrink as they heal, so immediate dentures may loosen over the first months. Temporary relines keep them comfortable until a permanent reline or new denture is made.
There may be added cost for relines during healing, but many patients feel the benefit of never being without teeth is well worth it. We will review the full cost with you upfront.
