Immediate Denture

An immediate denture is a denture that's made before your teeth are removed and placed right after the extractions. The idea is that you leave your appointment with teeth in place.

Your denturist takes impressions first and has the denture made ahead of time. Because it's made before the teeth come out, it can't be tried in your mouth beforehand.

After extractions, your gums change shape and shrink a bit, so you can expect follow-up visits to adjust the fit. Many people later move to a new denture once healing settles, and some immediate dentures can be relined and kept longer term.

Before your extractions, your denturist plans the denture with you. Our surgical partner does the extractions. Your denturist can't promise how the denture will look or fit until your gums have healed.

If you're facing extractions, many people want to know what the day will be like. Your denturist can explain what to expect, including the follow-up visits.
