What is an immediate denture?
An immediate denture is a denture that will be made prior to a
dentist extracting your natural teeth. We will require a few
appointments before you have your teeth removed to take
impressions, bite registrations, amongst other discussions and
procedures on what your expectations and our limitations are on
your functional and aesthetic needs. We have endless
possibilities and smiles we can create for you to give you the
smile you deserve, and are very willing to work with you to
make sure we can achieve the smile you want. We want to
please you, so any insight, desires or ideas you have, whether it
is an idea, or a picture, please share them with us and we will
do what we can to accommodate you.
Insertion and post insertion of an Immediate Denture:
When we are finished your Denture you will be required to take
it with you to your dentist's office the day of your extractions for
the dentist to insert. After the insertion of your new immediate
denture we will bring you in for a 24 hour post insertion exam,
please leave your denture in for the 24 hours this is very
important to contain the tissue and aid the heeling process. We
will remove it for you and make any adjustment we can to make
the denture as comfortable as possible. We understand that this
may be uncomfortable but a very important part of the process
to a comfortable, well-fitting denture. New dentures may take up
to 6 weeks to seat and settle so be patient and don't be alarmed
if they feel too loose or too tight. Whatever the case, we can
help.
Adjustments:
For the first days, weeks, and possibly months, your tissue will
be going through changes; unfortunately the denture will not
change without our help. You may need several adjustment
appointments on a regular basis, weekly or monthly is not
uncommon. Fortunately we are only a phone call away and are
happy to accommodate and help you through the hard times if
any. There is no charge for adjustment appointments, but we do
ask that you call us in advance to make an appointment so we
can schedule enough time to cater to your needs.
Relines:
As your tissue heals it will also shrink, unfortunately your
denture will not shrink with it. Some patients experience rapid
tissue shrinkage and others very little shrinkage. At the 24 hour
post insertion exam we will have a better insight of how much,
or how little you may or may not experience, but unfortunately
we can never be certain of these changes, don't panic, we can
and will help. If the heeling process is fast or longstanding we
can use temporary lining material to tighten up the denture while
the tissue is heeling to make things more comfortable for you.
After your tissue is fully healed (this may take several weeks or
months) we can reline or rebase the denture permanently to get
the tightest fit possible with comfort. There is a charge for the
final reline after everything is heeled, so it is best to be
patient during this time, follow the treatment plan, and let your
tissue fully heal. We will help you in every way possible to
determine if you are ready for the final reline, if it is done to
early it may have to be repeated so be patient.
Post care:
Your tissue is constantly changing so adjustments are a normal
part of wearing a denture so please calls if something is
troubling you and we are more than happy to help you. Please
be diligent cleaning your denture, food particles under your
denture can be the cause of many sore spots, and possible
infection. Please be sure that you wear your denture for as long
as possible prior to your adjustment appointments, we can
quickly and accurately adjust sore spots if we can see them. It is
recommended that you have your dentures checked once a
year for fit, function, and structure to make sure you maximize
the life expectancy of 5-7 years of that denture. If your prone to
calculus build up we have a great in office cleaning system we
offer, please call and we will book you for a cleaning. Make sure
to use denture specific products only on dentures, natural tooth
paste is strongly not recommended, it is very abrasive and will
break down your denture, and change the fit. Please avoid the
use of denture adhesive a minimum of 12 hours prior to any
appointments, some of the ingredients in adhesives can disrupt
the impression materials, or products that we use, also it's
messy and can hinder how we asses sore spots and the
accuracy of what we can do for you and may require
rescheduling of your appointment.
