Providing Immediate Dentures in Edmonton
An immediate denture is a complete denture or partial denture inserted on the same day, immediately following the removal of natural teeth. Northview Denture Clinic provides immediate dentures in Edmonton.
Advantages of Immediate Dentures
-
Patients do not have to go through the embarrassment of not having teeth during the healing process
-
We can easily replicate the appearance of your natural teeth (if desired)
-
The denture will act as a Band-Aid to protect tissues and reduce bleeding
-
Immediate dentures allow for better chewing, allowing for good nutrition during the healing process
Disadvantages of Immediate Dentures
-
The aesthetics cannot be accurately experienced as the denture cannot always be tried in before the extractions
-
The dentures will require more appointments as they will need to be regularly relined temporarily due to the healing and resorption of your ridge and tissues
-
After an adequate healing time (usually 6 months), a permanent reline will be required that is not included in the initial cost of your dentures
It is important to follow the instructions of your dental team (denturist, dentist, and/or dental surgeon) to allow for proper healing and to achieve the best fit of your dentures after the healing process is complete.
