Immediate Dentures
A transitional denture inserted at the appointment when planned teeth are removed.
Overview
Understanding immediate dentures
Immediate dentures avoid an initial period without teeth, but gums and bone change rapidly during healing. Relines, adjustments, and often a later remake are expected parts of the process.
The care pathway
What an appointment may involve
The exact sequence can change with your diagnosis, health, anatomy, and treatment plan.
Treatment stage
Remove the planned teeth and insert the prepared denture.
Completion and follow-up
Monitor healing and complete pressure adjustments and relines.
Personalized care
What shapes a recommendation
A clinician may consider these factors alongside your symptoms, priorities, and reasonable alternatives.
- Number and location of planned extractions

- Understanding of follow-up adjustments and future remake needs
