Immediate dentures can be described as removable dentures. This type of dentures can be adhered to the mouth right away and removed at any time. This will have an immediate impact on a patient's confidence after having their natural teeth removed. Along with that, the individual is able to return to daily life immediately with these new dentures. 

Benefits of Immediate Dentures

One of the biggest benefits of immediate dentures is that the patient can walk away with a full smile that same day. This is very exciting for patients who may feel self-conscious after having other teeth removed. Immediate dentures are a great solution for people who have had many tooth extractions. For patients who are unable or unwilling to get oral implants, dentures are a great solution to avoid other dental prosthetics. 

Most people do not want to be seen missing a tooth or many teeth. This can make social interactions difficult as they believe others are staring at their missing tooth. With the use of dentures, it is also easier to match the natural teeth’s color and shape, if there are some remaining in the patients mouth. When a dental professional provides a patient with immediate dentures, this can help to safeguard the tissues and diminish bleeding after a tooth extraction. Having dentures can prevent facial distortion which can take place in cases when teeth are removed from the mouth. This will also help the teeth chew better as opposed to someone who is missing a tooth. Read More.
