Are you a good candidate for immediate denture?

If you have severe gum disease or caries, your remaining teeth may need to be extracted. In this situation, a set of immediate dentures can be fabricated and placed in your mouth at the same time as the tooth extraction. As a result of having immediate dentures placed, you will be able to leave your appointment beaming with confidence. If you have few remaining teeth and are worried about going toothless while your gums and jawbone heal, speak with a prosthodontist about immediate dentures. This will help alleviate any anxiety you may have about going toothless.

 Is it possible that you could benefit from an immediate denture?

 Not everyone is a candidate for immediate dentures . It’s possible that you won’t need to get replacement teeth if the only teeth that are gone are your molars or a few of the teeth on the side. During the time that it takes your gums to heal, you do have the option of going without teeth for a few months. On the other hand, ninety percent of patients favor having temporary dentures. The best solution for you would be to get an immediate denture, whether you are missing just one front tooth or all of your teeth. When wearing immediate dentures, some individuals have problems with their gag reflexes. Because they aren’t custom-fitted to your mouth, they have the potential to slide around and touch the back of your mouth, which will cause the reflex to kick in.

Process of getting immediate dentures.

 The following is a rundown of the process of immediate dentures :

 Step 1: Consultation, as well as initial thoughts and impressions 

• For the first immediate denture process, a member of the dental team will take X-rays of the patient’s teeth.
• Your dentist will perform an in-depth oral exam and then devise a treatment strategy that is specifically geared toward meeting your requirements.
• The dental team will discuss price ranges, different types of materials, and different tooth colors with you after they have determined your needs.
• Your impressions will be submitted for the dentist’s and the lab supervisor’s approval after they have been examined.

 Step 2: Wax try-ins (this step isn’t required for the majority of immediate procedures). 

• If you already have an upper or lower denture but need to have teeth extracted for a second denture, a wax model of your mouth will be crafted in the morning before your teeth are removed so that it can be used to create the new denture. If this is not the case, step two is skipped.
• Due to the fact that every patient’s requirements for their dentures are different, some dentures are more challenging to make and require more time in the lab.
• Before bringing the model back to the workshop, it will go through any necessary modifications first.
• The purpose of the wax try-in is to evaluate the fit of your new denture as well as its appearance.

 Step 3: Denture delivery

• In the next immediate denture step, you are going to have some of your teeth extracted, and then your dentures will be fitted for you.
• After all of your teeth have been extracted, the dentist will then place your denture, make any necessary adjustments, and give you instructions on immediate denture aftercare and your mouth in general.
