There are several advantages that come with these dentures. The first one is of course that the patient doesn’t have to spend any time without teeth. The fact that they’ve lost all their teeth can influence the emotional state of many people. With these dentures, patients avoid that unwanted moment. Another thing that this denture does is that it protects the extraction wounds in the mouth. It will act as a healing cover that will prevent food from getting in and also will control the bleeding. The dental technician and dentist have a better chance of replicating the teeth in the denture because some of them are present in the mouth. The patient avoids an edentulous period, so all the functions like chewing, speaking and swallowing are much easier with immediate dentures.
Procedure:
Immediate dentures can be both partial and complete. The procedure usually requires four to five visits to the dentist. During the first visit to the dentists, they will be able to let you know whether you are an eligible candidate for an immediate denture. The following step includes planning of the type of denture the patient will get, whether a partial or a complete one. If there is a need for extractions, that will also be included in the plan. The process starts with impressions, that give exact molds of the situations. Based on the molds, dental technicians will create the dentures. On the same day when the dentures are done, the patient is scheduled for extractions. Once the extractions are done, he gets the immediate dentures together with proper instructions.
