What Is an Immediate Denture?

An immediate denture is made before your teeth are removed and is placed the same day as your extractions.

The advantage is that you leave your appointment with teeth instead of waiting during the healing process.

Because your gums and bone change as they heal, immediate dentures usually require adjustments and, in many cases, a reline or replacement after healing is complete.

We’ll explain whether an immediate denture is the right option for you before treatment begins.
