Immediate dentures are recommended when there are remaining natural teeth that are scheduled to be extracted, and you don’t want to go without teeth while healing.

Immediate dentures are made before your teeth are extracted and inserted at your extraction appointment.

Immediate dentures tend to feel quite big and bulky quite quickly as bone shrinkage occurs with healing. This means that the denture may need to be relined after a period of time.

Denture adhesive may be required while healing, as the bone shrinkage during healing is unpredictable.

Immediate dentures come with some risks due to the fact that it is made without the traditional try-in appointment. The risk lies in the inability to see how the denture fits, functions, and looks before it is finished.

A new set of dentures is sometimes recommended after 12 months, after healing is fully completed. This is determined on a case-by-case basis.
