What is an Immediate Denture?
An immediate denture, as its name suggests, is inserted immediately after the removal of natural teeth. This is required when either some or all of the natural teeth need to be removed. The key advantage here is that the patient is not left without teeth during the healing process, which can take up to weeks and sometimes months.
Why would you recommend an Immediate Denture?
The immediate denture allows for the gums to heal before fitting a more permanent denture. It also avoids the self-consciousness some people feel when they are missing teeth.
A further advantage is that the immediate denture acts as a band-aid to promote healing and minimise swelling. A follow up appointment will be required to adjust your dentures as your gum and bone heal.
An impression of the mouth is made prior to the removal of teeth in order to determine the exact shape and colour of your teeth.
