Immediate Dentures in Omaha and Millard, NE

An immediate denture may be the best solution when complete extractions of your remaining teeth are unavoidable. An immediate denture allows you to avoid going without teeth while you heal. We begin preparing for this procedure before your teeth are extracted.

The first step is taking impressions of your existing teeth and gums to create accurate duplicates for placement after tooth removal. At your extraction appointment, your immediate dentures are inserted, creating a natural smile you can be proud of.

Preparing for Immediate Dentures

At your consultation, we will examine your teeth and gums, discuss the planned extractions, and explain what to expect from the denture while your mouth heals. Let us know about your medications and any questions you have about the procedure, aftercare, or the cost of future adjustments. Because the denture is made before your teeth are removed, its fit will change as your gums heal.

What You Should Know About Immediate Dentures

In most cases, we have no way of checking the fit of the denture in your mouth prior to extraction. Esthetic compromises may have to be made in some cases to compensate for inadequate space or structural concerns.

After Extraction

Great care should be taken to follow all postoperative instructions. Your gums and bone will recede after extraction, and regular check-ups and maintenance will monitor healing and reduce problems. Temporary linings or tissue conditioners will be required to create an optimal fit and may need to be adjusted or replaced a number of times during the healing period. A permanent denture reline will be required to ensure a comfortable and an exact fit after you have completed the healing process.

Caring for Your Mouth and Denture While You Heal

Follow the specific instructions we give you about when to wear and remove your immediate denture, how to clean it, and what to eat after your extractions. Some soreness and changes in fit are expected as your gums heal. Keep your follow-up visits so we can check for sore spots and make adjustments. Call our office if the denture causes significant discomfort or you have concerns about healing.
