Immediate Dentures
Immediate Dentures at At Georgia Dental Group
Losing teeth can be a challenging experience, impacting both your oral health and your self-confidence. At At Georgia Dental Group, we understand the importance of restoring your smile quickly and comfortably. That's why we offer immediate dentures, a solution that allows you to leave our office with teeth on the same day as your extractions.
What are Immediate Dentures?
Immediate dentures are dentures that are placed immediately after the extraction of remaining teeth. Unlike conventional dentures, which are placed several weeks or months after extractions, immediate dentures provide you with teeth right away. This offers several significant benefits.
Benefits of Immediate Dentures
- Immediate Smile Restoration: The most significant benefit is that you don't have to go without teeth while your gums heal. You'll leave our office with a complete smile the same day as your extractions.
- Improved Comfort During Healing: Immediate dentures act as a bandage, protecting the gums and reducing swelling and discomfort after tooth extractions.
- Faster Healing: The dentures help to control bleeding and promote faster healing of the gum tissue.
- Maintenance of Facial Shape: Immediate dentures help to maintain the natural shape of your face and prevent the sunken-in appearance that can occur after tooth loss.
- Psychological Benefits: Having teeth immediately after extractions can significantly improve your self-esteem and confidence during the healing process. You won't have to feel self-conscious about missing teeth.
- Easier Adaptation: It can be easier to adapt to dentures when you start wearing them immediately after tooth loss, as you're adjusting to the feel of dentures from the beginning.
The Immediate Denture Process at At Georgia Dental Group
- Consultation and Evaluation: We'll thoroughly evaluate your oral health, discuss your needs and goals, and determine if immediate dentures are the right option for you. This will include impressions and measurements.
- Tooth Extractions: If necessary, we will perform the tooth extractions. We prioritize your comfort and will ensure the procedure is as gentle as possible.
- Denture Placement: Your immediate dentures, which were fabricated prior to your extractions, will be placed immediately after the extractions.
- Healing Period and Adjustments: Over the next several months, your gums will heal and shrink. We'll schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and make any necessary adjustments to your dentures to ensure a comfortable and proper fit.
- Relining or Rebasing (Long-Term Solution): Because your gums will change shape during healing, immediate dentures are considered a temporary solution. After the healing process is complete, we'll discuss options such as relining (adjusting the fit of the existing denture) or creating a new, permanent denture for a more precise and comfortable long-term fit.
