Same-Day Dentures Guide

After having your natural teeth extracted by our dentists, you can get same-day dentures, also called immediate ones. You can choose this option if you want temporary teeth replacement immediately to prevent further damage to the gums.

The following are some things you need to know about same-day dentures. 

What Exactly Are Same-Day Dentures?

Conventional dentures are regular dentures that you can wear regularly. This replacement appliance can be made a day or even a month in advance. On the other hand, same-day dentures are made on the same day that the teeth were extracted. The dentist makes these dentures, so you can have them as soon as you get to the dentist's office or a few hours after surgery.

They are usually dental appliances made for immediate use. These are dentures designed and created by the dentists on the same day the patient has their teeth extracted.

It is different from regular dentures in that they are a temporary solution for the patient to wear. This is necessary while their gums are still healing from extraction. 

How Do You Get Same Day Dentures?

Same-day dentures are very easy to get. All you need to do is contact your dentist and schedule your appointment with them. After you visit the dentist, you will have the dentures made. You can have them right after the meeting or a few hours later.

The dentist will take impressions of your mouth and make the dentures. The dentist will ensure that the fit is correct and comfortable for you to wear. After this, the dentist will schedule another appointment for you to come back in two to four weeks to adjust the new dentures, if necessary.

Why Do People Choose Same-Day Dentures?

In choosing this, you give your mouth time to heal after your natural teeth are extracted. The advantage of having these same-day dentures is that you can immediately eat your favorite dishes and enjoy your life with dentures in your mouth. 

How Long Can You Wear Same-Day Dentures?

You can wear the same-day dentures for about 4 to 6 weeks. This is the time that the gums are healing from the extraction. You can have the same-day dentures replaced with the permanent dentures once the healing stage is done.

Are Same-Day Dentures Safe to Wear?

As long as you are allowed by your dentist to wear the dentures, it is safe to wear them. You must wear the same-day dentures every day until your next appointment since same-day dentures are designed to be used directly after extraction. You must report to the dentist immediately if you feel something is wrong with the fitting. 

Conclusion

Same-day dentures are an excellent option for patients who want their teeth replaced as soon as they are removed. This is a great way to prevent further damage to the gums. After this, you will immediately receive a more permanent dental replacement and can smile and eat again.
