Immediate Dentures in Niagara Falls
Having your teeth extracted can be a traumatic event in your life. It leaves you feeling self-conscious about the gaps in your teeth. If you’re a candidate for partial or complete dentures after a tooth extraction, your denturist may recommend immediate dentures. At Hi-Shine Denture Clinic, we provide comprehensive denture services, which include temporary and immediate dentures, at our clinic in Niagara Falls.
What Are Immediate Dentures?
Dentures take a while to manufacture, plus you will need to wait for your mouth to heal properly. Immediate dentures are more temporary devices that are inserted in your mouth on the day of a tooth extraction. This prevents debris from getting into the site and causing irritation in your gums. This means you can continue to go about your daily routine without feeling self-conscious about your missing teeth.
What Should You Expect from Immediate Dentures?
The general timeline for getting temporary dentures is as follows:
-
1-2 months before extraction, you dentist will take impressions of your mouth
-
Immediately after extraction, your dentist will attach your temporary dentures
-
You can expect some discomfort for the first few days as you adjust
-
It’s best to stick to soft food while getting accustomed to your temporary dentures
-
After a few months, the site will have healed and your immediate dentures will no longer fit
-
You will need to book an appointment to see your dentist and have them replaced
