Hello,
That depends on each body of healing. You want the bone and tissue to heal which generally takes about 8-12 weeks to start the denture fabrication process.
However, you can talk to your provider about also doing what are called “immediate dentures” which can be inserted the day of your front teeth extractions. Immediate dentures are not a long term solution however as the denture does not change shape but the tissue/bone changes shape over the course of healing.
Hope this helps!

Hello,

As long as it has been permanently cemented you should in theory be able to chew gum there. I would refrain from gum chewing if it is a temporary bridge or if the bridge is temporarily cemented on. Otherwise, please wait at least 24 hours after permanent cementation before eating anything sticky or chewy on the side of the bridge.
Hope this helps!

Make sure you follow your provider’s post op instructions carefully and attend your follow up appointment.
Hope this helps!
