Immediate Denture

An immediate denture may be the best solution when complete extractions of your remaining teeth is unavoidable. An immediate denture will allow you to avoid the embarrassment of living without teeth.

We will begin the preparation for this procedure before your teeth are extracted. The first step is taking impressions of your existing teeth and gums to create accurate duplicates for placement after tooth removal.

At your extraction appointment, your immediate dentures are inserted creating a natural smile you can be proud of.

Great care should be taken to follow all postoperative instructions. Your gums and bone will recede after extraction, and regular check-ups and maintenance will monitor healing and reduce problems.

Temporary linings or tissue conditioners will be required to create an optimal fit and may need to be adjusted or replaced a number of times during the healing period. A permanent reline will be required to ensure a comfortable and an exact fit after you have completed the healing process.

We will advise you of the procedure that best suits your individual needs. Temporary liners, tissue conditioner and relines are additional services that may have separate fees. Consult our practice with questions about the benefits of an immediate denture .

Testimonial

Before my dental reconstruction, my smile was in bad shape. Not only did I have several missing teeth, the teeth I did have were just as embarrassing. They were discolored, cracked and broken. I had four or five crowns that were failing and the porcelain was falling off of a few of them.

As a person who loves to joke and laugh, I could not help but try and cover my mouth when I would smile or laugh. Every picture I took was a closed mouth smile. I was very uncomfortable and unhappy about my appearance. In addition to my bad smile, I was very much overweight and was having a hard time finding a good job. I always worked, but was only working as a contractor in the IT Support field. I always felt that my appearance was hindering my professional life and would be more successful if I looked more presentable.

Once my reconstruction began, things started to change. The process instigated a loss in weight where I lost about 12 pounds in two weeks. This inspired me to change my diet and I went on to lose over 60 pounds over the next three or four months. I now had a smile that I could be confident with and an overall appearance that allowed me to do something I haven’t done in years - look people in the eye and smile.

The employer that I had been contracting with hired me full time and just recently I interviewed for a great position with a high powered law firm and I got the job!! The interview was amazing. I was looking my new boss in the eye and I was smiling and feeling so confident that I would nail this interview and I did!! I am absolutely convinced that my new smile was the catalyst for all the positive changes in my life. Before all of this I felt that when I was at a job interview it was over before it started because really of my appearance.

Furthermore, I am a youth basketball coach and love kids, but I always felt that they were looking at my teeth and not hearing me whenever I was talking to them. Now my relationship with the kids and their parents is better than I can ever remember.

Dr Tim made this all possible. In many ways he saved my life, or at the very least made it far more worth living. I can’t help but thank him every time I see him. He’s my dentist but way more importantly, he’s a great friend.-Matt. M.
