What does it involve?
The process of Immediate Dentures begins with a thorough examination of the patient's oral health and a discussion about the impending tooth extraction. Prior to the extraction, measurements and impressions are taken to ensure precise fitting of the dentures. On the day of the extraction, the immediate dentures are inserted immediately after the removal of natural teeth. This swift transition not only provides an esthetic solution, preventing the patient from being without teeth during the healing period, but also supports facial contours and maintains essential functions such as speech and chewing. It is important to note that immediate dentures may require adjustments as the gums heal and reshape over time, necessitating post-operative check-ups and potential modifications.
How does it work?
Post Immediate Dentures involve healing time after extractions and prior to the denture fitting starting. The benefit is more detailed fit and chewing function and the patient is able to give feedback on the final cosmetic look. Post Immediate dentures are more accurately fit and have less after care for sore spots and discrepancies in fit. Post immediate denture care includes regular follow up appointments and to monitor the healing process.
