We recommend having immediate dentures made. So the answer is same day.
The immediate denture should have been made before removing the teeth. So, immediately.
Same appointment. If your dentist is not doing that, then find another dentist that knows how to do it.
Without making this more complex, with a discussion of "immediate dentures", the typical complete healing time for a tooth socket of the average person is about eight weeks from the extraction day. That's when the denture work can reliably begin (ideally). Then depending on your dentists treatment protocol for dentures, that will determine how long it will take for you to actually begin wearing your dentures.
Immediate denture can be delivered the same day of extraction until the conventional denture is fabricated which should be initiated 3 months after teeth extraction. The process of the conventional denture usually take 4-5 appointments depending on the complexity of the case
It varies but normal is 10 to 12 weeks
It is possible to have your dentures fabricated before the removal of your teeth and then can be delivered at the time of your extractions. Your dentures will need a reline 6-12 months after the extractions, as your gum tissues will tend to shrink and tighten up, causing your dentures to be loose and/or develop pressure spots that will become sore.
This depends on the number of teeth that are to be removed. The bone changes significantly were the teeth were for the first 6 weeks after removal. This remodeling continues, but at a slower pace forever, this is why dentures get loose after a time. Generally we wait 6 weeks after extractions to start denture impressions.
if you have had all your teeth removed, you can get dentures anytime
You can get an immediate dentures right after extractions but for permanent dentures it’s better to wait couple of weeks for healing and they will still need relining because bone keeps changing until about 6 months after extraction.
There are options to have healing dentures made so that you don't have to go without teeth during the several month long healing process. It is best to wait 6 months due to all the tissue and bone changes. It is possible to get a denture made sooner, but you should expect to have it relined due to changes from healing.
In most cases immediately but you may need a reline or new dentures after the bone changes
You can get minimal stability after 8 weeks from the time of extraction.
Depending on the situation, immediate dentures may be an option. This means you can get a denture the same day the teeth are extracted. If you need to heal, I recommend waiting 3-6 months after extractions.
Hi,
If treated correctly, with proper pre-op evaluation and moldings, immediate dentures can be made and delivered at the time of extraction. Normal protocol post extraction is 4-6 weeks for conventional dentures. After the 4-6 weeks we start making the permanent dentures. Both immediate and conventional dentures are normally recommended. A full evaluation is needed to confirm a treatment plan.

You can get them immediately if the dentist thinks it’s the right thing to do.
It depends on the type of dentures you're getting. If you are getting an immediate denture, that means the teeth are removed on the same day you get your denture. That sounds wonderful. BUT, usually the back teeth are removed and you wait 8-16 weeks BEFORE even starting to make the denture to allow the bone to heal and shrink back a bit. Normally, only front teeth may be kept while making an immediate denture for esthetics reasons. The alternative is to take out whatever is coming out and allowing you to heal, again for 8-16 weeks, and then start making the dentures. Whichever you do, good luck.
Good question! You can either have your denture on the same day or in some cases you might wait for healing and insert [have your dentures put on] after healing.
There are instances when teeth are extracted and dentures are delivered on the same day. This is called an Immediate Denture. After a period of healing (about 2-3 months), these Immediate Dentures are then relined to properly adapt to your healed oral tissues. If you want to wait and not have an Immediate Denture made, then a 3 month wait should be enough.
After the teeth have been removed, it is better to wait at least 4 weeks to make sure the bone has remodeled completely. This is before the initial mold is taken. If you try to rush it, you might get a gap between the gums ands the dentures, which will need to be relined.
Hope that helps.
