Conventional Dentures: A Solid Foundation
Conventional dentures are a reliable solution for complete tooth loss. Following tooth extraction, your dentist will allow your gums time to heal before creating customized dentures. This process involves creating a mold of your healed gums to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. While patients typically wait 8-12 weeks for their final dentures, this wait period allows for optimal gum healing and a personalized fit.

Immediate Dentures: Confidence without Delay
Immediate dentures offer a unique advantage: they’re placed on the same day as your tooth extraction. These dentures act as a protective bandage for your gums while promoting healing. While immediate dentures are typically more expensive due to increased preparation time, they offer several benefits:

• Maintaining Confidence: You won’t experience the social discomfort of being without teeth during the healing period.
• Speech Practice: Start adapting to speaking with dentures right away.
• Natural Appearance: Immediate dentures allow for more accurate replication of your natural teeth’s shape and color, especially while some of your original teeth are still present.
• Swifter Return to Normalcy: Enjoy comfortable chewing and eating sooner than with conventional dentures.

Remember, your mouth will naturally change as you heal. Regular dental visits are crucial during this time to ensure your dentures remain comfortable and functional through adjustments.
