Surgical/Immediate Denture

Surgical Dentures are temporary false teeth that are placed immediately after tooth extraction. These post-extraction complete dentures offer several benefits over conventional ones:

• Natural Appearance: They fill the gaps left by missing teeth, enabling you to smile and socialize comfortably while your mouth heals.
• Improved Speech: When properly fitted, surgical dentures help maintain the natural shape of your lips and cheeks, which can sag after tooth loss, thus improving speech.
• Increased Comfort: Immediate dentures protect the extraction sites, reducing discomfort and speeding up recovery.
• Preserved Facial Contours: A lack of teeth may result in sagging facial muscles, leading to an aged appearance. Immediate dentures help maintain a youthful look by supporting facial structures.

Who is a Candidate for Immediate Surgical Dentures?

Surgical immediate dentures are not suitable for all patients. Our dentists consider the following factors during your consultation:

Oral Health: Good oral hygiene and strong jaw bones are necessary to support the dentures.
Bone Strength: Adequate bone volume in the extraction areas is essential for optimal denture placement and stability.
Number of Missing Teeth: Immediate dentures may be suitable for those patients who need to extract all their teeth or remove several in one area.
