Immediate Dentures
(Healing Denture) - Sometimes all the teeth need to be removed and replaced
with dentures at the time they are extracted.
This type of denture is called an immediate denture or temporary
denture. There are multiple steps the
dentist must complete before the immediate dentures can be fabricated by the
laboratory and the teeth extracted.
Although immediate dentures work well to give a new smile and replace
teeth immediately, they have many challenges.
For someone receiving complete dentures that has no teeth, denture teeth
are tried in the patient’s mouth to verify the smile. This is not always possible with immediate
dentures because the natural teeth still remain. The dentist fabricating the immediate dentures
makes educated guesses on the stone models of your teeth in order to make the
immediate dentures prior to the extractions.
