Restore Your Smile with

Immediate Dentures in Nanaimo

If you’ve been advised that all your remaining teeth need to be extracted and you need an immediate set of dentures made, Harbour City Denture Clinic in Nanaimo can help you. Immediate dentures are made before your teeth are extracted and are inserted once the teeth are removed. The dentures are placed over the incision sites, allowing you to avoid having to go without teeth while your mouth is healing.

What Is an Immediate Denture?

If you are worried about eating or speaking comfortably after your teeth are extracted, fret not. An immediate denture is a type of denture which is fabricated before you go for a teeth extraction process. The denturists take an impression of your teeth and craft a denture for your unique dental needs. The dentures are inserted into your mouth immediately after your extraction and save you from having to go with gaps in your mouth. These dentures serve to restore your smile immediately, and maintain your lip and cheek support.

The immediate dentures at Harbour City Denture Clinic look and feel natural. They help you get your smile back the same day you undergo an extraction procedure. You can also gradually go back to eating what you love with these dentures!

Things You Should Know

About Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures may sound ideal, but it is important to understand the limitations of the process so you can decide whether they are the best choice for you. Since you cannot "try-in" the teeth before they are finished there are aesthetic compromises that will have to be accounted for. When it comes to immediate dentures, you also need to keep in mind that during the first year there will also be significant bone loss.

As your dentures become looser (and there is more movement), you will need to have temporary liners applied by the denturist to keep your denture fitting properly. Then approximately 6 to 8 months after extractions, you will need a permanent reline done so your dentures will fit the new contours of your jaw.
