Immediate Dentures

An immediate denture is an excellent alternative to being without your teeth because your smile is restored directly after your extraction. The finished immediate denture is inserted after your tooth or teeth are extracted, usually while your mouth is still frozen. An Immediate denture will also protect the sensitive gum tissues at the extraction site and works like a bandage to:

• Control swelling and allow the healing to progress
• Help keep the gums and tissues free from debris and food that may cause irritation.
• Prevent dislodging of extraction site blood clots that are necessary for healing.
