How long do Immediate dentures last?

Custom-Fitted Immediate Dentures

An Immediate denture can be a Complete or Partial denture. It is inserted immediately following the extraction of teeth. This same-day procedure can become necessitated for patients who have substantial teeth problems and would like to return to a semblance of normalcy right away, rather than going some weeks without teeth, and experiencing the challenges that come with that.

For example, a patient has 10 upper teeth that require removal. In the past, the client had to wait several weeks for the mouth to heal before a denture could be fabricated. Imagine having no teeth for that long! Instead, thanks to Immediate dentures, we can start the denture procedure by taking an impression of your teeth couple of weeks before extractions, while they are still in your mouth and use them as a blueprint for the dentures, making modifications as we need to. That way we’re ready to insert the Immediate dentures during the same appointment as teeth extractions. It is vitally important to follow our instructions to ensure proper healing after the operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Immediate dentures are a type of denture which are fabricated prior to getting your teeth extracted so that following the extraction you won’t be without teeth. As a general guideline, it’s recommended that you keep your Immediate dentures in for a minimum of 24 hours.

Adjusting to immediate dentures is a process that typically unfolds over several weeks as your mouth heals and adapts. While the benefit of not going without teeth is a major advantage, it’s important to understand that wearing immediate dentures comes with a healing curve. Most patients experience swelling, mild discomfort, and changes in fit during the first weeks, followed by gradual improvement in function and comfort.

While immediate dentures allow you to avoid going toothless, adjusting to eating and speaking with them takes time. Right after placement, your mouth will be healing, and the new appliance may feel bulky or awkward. However, with patience and practice, most people regain the ability to eat a varied diet and speak clearly within a few weeks.

Immediate dentures are fabricated and designed to closely resemble your natural teeth and are practically indistinguishable from normal teeth due to a careful colour matching process. The materials used in Immediate dentures are made to look and feel just like your regular teeth.

When removing your Immediate dentures for the first time, use warm water to swish and loosen them. Lower Immediate dentures can be lifted straight up, while Upper Immediate dentures are best removed with a forward and downward direction.

Generally, immediate dentures last 6 to 12 months before requiring replacement or major adjustments. As your gums and bone heal, your denturist may recommend transitioning to a permanent set that better fits your new anatomy.
