An immediate denture may be the best solution when complete extractions of your remaining teeth are unavoidable. Having an immediate artificial set of teeth will allow you to avoid the embarrassment of living without teeth. We will begin the preparation for this procedure before your teeth are extracted. Dentures benefit those who wish to replace all or most of their teeth. They are custom-made to provide a natural appearance and comfortable fit in your mouth. Dentures may restore your confidence and allow you to smile freely.
Depending on your need, you may benefit from a full or partial denture:
Removing all of your teeth may be valuable to your oral health. When your gums are healed, your dentures are placed in your mouth, and adjustments may be made. Your dental team strives to make this process as comfortable as possible.
Immediate dentures are placed instantly after your teeth are removed. These sets of false teeth are recommended for those who have suffered from tooth decay, gum disease, or dental injuries. Immediate complete dentures speed up the wait time for healing without teeth. Follow-up appointments will have to be made to adjust dentures if needed.
Partial dentures are used to replace several missing teeth. Having a partial set of teeth will prevent the shifting and erupting of the other teeth. You should care for your false teeth just like you would for your teeth. They should be brushed daily to remove food particles and plaque. Brushing can also help prevent the teeth from staining. You must also keep regular appointments with your dentist to screen for oral cancer, correct the ill-fitting set of teeth, and contribute to your overall health.
