Trusted Denture Clinic Offering Immediate Dentures in Edmonton
Are you worried about being without teeth after an extraction? Immediate dentures can be helpful for you. An immediate denture is a complete denture or partial denture inserted on the same day immediately following the removal of natural teeth. Not only does it smoothen the transition to permanent dentures, but it can also help heal after an extraction. At Northview Denture Clinic, we are committed to offering quality immediate dentures in Edmonton.
Immediate dentures are also known as surgical dentures, as they are placed directly after the tooth extraction. They are an effective way to immediately replace your missing teeth so that you can return to your confident smile.
At Northview Denture Clinic, we also provide other denture treatments in Edmonton, such as partial and complete dentures, implant-supported dentures, denture relines and repairs, and sports guards. Get in touch with us for more information.
Advantages of Immediate Dentures
Once you have immediate dentures, then you can experience the following advantages:
Immediate dentures protect your gum ridges from trauma and debris.
We can easily replicate the appearance of your natural teeth (if desired).
Patients do not have to go through the embarrassment of not having teeth during the healing process.
The denture will act as a Band-Aid to protect tissues and reduce bleeding.
Immediate dentures allow for better chewing and good nutrition during the healing process.
Don't hesitate to get in touch with our office to see if immediate dentures are suitable for you.
Are Immediate Dentures Right for You?
Immediate dentures might be the right solution if your natural teeth are in poor condition and require extraction. Following a thorough evaluation and discussions with your denturist and dentist, you may find that opting for extractions and the immediate placement of dentures aligns with your needs. True to their name, these dentures are available right after extraction, allowing you to wear them immediately and avoid the discomfort of being without teeth.
​
Depending on your specific circumstances, your denturist may propose two primary options:
​
-
Complete immediate dentures: These serve as a temporary replacement for all your teeth, covering the entire mouth.
-
Partial immediate dentures: Designed for those with some remaining natural teeth, these provide a replacement for one or more missing teeth.
-

If you find yourself uncertain about which denture option suits you best, rest assured. We offer a diverse range of dentures in Edmonton, and our approachable staff is ready to assist you in selecting the most suitable option for your unique requirements.
Post Immediate Denture Care
Even though immediate dentures are inserted the same day, they require follow-up treatment. Here are a few care tips for you to take better care of your immediate denture:
You must not remove your dentures for 24 hours after your extractions. Once you have seen your denturist for a postoperative assessment, you can remove your dentures and clean them with mild soapy water and the provided denture brush. At this point, you also are advised to rinse your mouth regularly with warm salt water, which helps to expedite the healing process.
​
Initially, you can have soft foods in your diet, gradually changing to firmer foods as you feel comfortable. Remember, healing varies from one person to another based on your dental and oral condition.
In the months following your extractions, as your gums heal, your denture will be relined with a temporary material to improve fit and function. Once your tissues are fully healed (usually at least 6 months later), your denture will require a permanent reline.
The cost of your permanent reline procedure is not included with the cost of your immediate denture treatment.

Implant-Supported Dentures for Enhanced Stability and Comfort
Consider upgrading to implant-supported dentures for a more secure and natural feel. At Northview Denture Clinic, we offer advanced implant-supported denture solutions in Edmonton. Once a dentist places dental implants into your jaw, these dentures clip onto the implants providing improved stability and support and preventing movement that may occur with traditional dentures.
