Dentures

Immediate dentures

An immediate denture is inserted around the time remaining teeth are removed so the patient is not without teeth.

A request does not guarantee that a nearby practice offers this service or has availability.

What the appointment may involve

Records are made before extractions; the denture is delivered the same day and adjusted during healing.

Good to know before choosing care

Because gums and bone change rapidly, temporary liners and a later reline or replacement are often needed.

Questions worth asking a practice

  • What exam or records are needed before confirming that immediate dentures is appropriate?
  • What alternatives, material choices, risks, and likely follow-up should I consider?
  • Who will perform the procedure, and does my situation call for a specialist?
  • What does the estimate include, and how will insurance benefits or financing be verified?
