Immediate Dentures
When complete extractions of your remaining teeth become unavoidable, an immediate denture is a solution. Our team at Halton Denture Clinic will help you avoid the inconvenience and discomfiture of being without teeth. Our denturist will initiate this procedure before your teeth are extracted. An impression is made of your existing teeth and gums prior to the extraction surgery and is used for the construction of your new dentures. From this our denturist is able to copy and construct a denture, duplicating your original teeth with any improvements as you so wish.
After the extraction appointment, your immediate dentures are inserted so that you have teeth during your healing period. There is no way of trying the denture in before your extractions are completed. In some cases, esthetic compromises may have to be made in favor of structural integrity or limited space. During the healing period, postoperative instruction from the Surgeon and Denturist must be followed carefully. Your gums and bone recede to a much smaller size, because of the tooth sockets closing. Regular check-ups and maintenance to ensure ideal healing are required. Temporary linings or tissue conditioners will be required to ensure a positive 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 or a new denture may be constructed to ensure a comfortable and an exact fit. The denturist 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 manufacturing the immediate denture.
