Complete Dentures with Extractions

What is a Complete (Full) Set of Dentures with Immediate Prosthesis?

A Complete (Full) Set of Dentures with Immediate Prosthesis refers to dentures that are placed immediately after tooth extractions, so the patient does not have to go without teeth during the healing period. These dentures are pre-made based on impressions of your mouth taken before the extractions and are fitted right after the teeth are removed.

This process allows patients to leave the dental clinic with a full set of functional and aesthetic dentures the same day their natural teeth are extracted. As the gums and jawbone heal, the dentures may need adjustments or a relining for a better fit. In some cases, after healing is complete, a permanent denture is made to replace the immediate one.

Main Benefits of Immediate Dentures

  • No Toothless Period – Patients never have to be without teeth during the healing process.
  • Immediate Aesthetic Improvement – Restores smile and facial appearance right away.
  • Protects Extraction Sites – Dentures act as a protective covering over healing gums.
  • Maintains Oral Function – Allows for speaking and light chewing even during healing.
  • Boosts Confidence – Helps maintain self-esteem and social interaction post-extraction.
  • Smooth Transition – Eases adjustment to dentures since patients wear them right from the start.
