What
are Immediate Dentures? |
When
extraction of some or all of your teeth becomes
unavoidable, an immediate denture is a solution.
This process will help you avoid the embarrassment
of being without teeth.
Impressions
are taken of your existing teeth and gums prior
to extraction and these are used for working models
and for the construction of your new dentures. From
these models we are able to copy and construct a
denture, duplicating your original teeth or construct
a denture that will improve your appearance. (see

At
your extraction appointment, your immediate denture
(which we have pre-made), is inserted by your Dental
Surgeon avoiding the embarrassment of having no
teeth during your healing period. |
What
you need to know about Immediate Dentures
Immediate
Dentures are often transitional Dentures, which
are replaced after 12 months. We, in most cases,
have no way of trying the dentures in before your
extractions are completed. In some cases, aesthetic
compromises may have to be made in favour of structural
integrity or limited space.
During
the healing period, postoperative instructions from
the Dental Surgeon and us, must be followed carefully.
Your gums and bone will recede to a much smaller
size, because the tooth sockets are closing. Regular
check-ups and maintenance to ensure ideal healing
are required. Temporary linings or tissue conditioners
may be required to ensure a better fit. This procedure
may be repeated a number of times based on your
physiological rate of healing.
|
At
the completion of the healing period, a permanent
reline (new fitting surface) or a new denture may
be constructed to ensure a comfortable and an exact
fit. |
|
We
will advise you of the procedure that best meets
your specific needs
Temporary liners, tissue conditioner and relines
are additional services requiring payment beyond
the service of supplying the immediate denture(s)
Irreparable damage can be caused to the oral tissues,
if the dentures are not replaced/relined after initial
gum shrinkage, which usually occurs between three
and twelve months.
|
Placement
of Implants to retain dentures (particularly lowers)
and Implant Overdentures
is the only way to have dentures remain stable,
with anything else being a compromise.
