Ask The Denturist: Volume 10

For the 10th installment of “Ask The Denturist”, we discuss the concept of “Dentures in a Day” and realizing a new smile with immediate dentures.

Q. Can you have teeth pulled out and dentures put in on the same day or in the same week?

A. Yes, it is possible to have your teeth removed and dentures put in the same day. Also called temporaries or transitionals, these dentures are placed immediately after all teeth are extracted. Not only do the Immediate Dentures help in healing the gums, but also allow you to have a set of teeth while your mouth adjusts and heals and your muscles are “trained” for wearing a denture. As the mouth heals and swelling subsides, temporary liners are used to ensure a proper fit. Once your Immediate Dentures are in place, we will begin to craft your permanent dentures, which will last for years.

To learn more about immediate dentures or our Dentures in a Day program, please contact a Denturist to discuss a plan for your new smile.
