Immediate dentures provide a seamless transition for patients who need to have their remaining natural teeth extracted. Rather than going without teeth during the healing process, immediate dentures are placed the same day as your extractions, allowing you to leave your appointment with a complete, functional smile. In addition to restoring your appearance right away, immediate dentures help protect the extraction sites, support the healing tissues, and allow you to continue speaking and eating with greater confidence while your mouth recovers.

At our Roseburg denture clinic, the process begins before your teeth are removed. Our experienced denturists take detailed impressions and measurements of your existing teeth and gums to create a custom set of immediate dentures that closely matches your natural smile and facial features. On the day of your extractions, your dentures are inserted immediately, eliminating the need to spend weeks or months without teeth. As your gums and jawbone heal, periodic adjustments and relines may be recommended to maintain a comfortable, secure fit as your mouth changes.

Your immediate denture protects your gums and restoring your smile while your mouth heals following extractions. Because significant changes naturally occur in the shape of your gums and jawbone during the healing process, this temporary denture may eventually become loose, even with routine adjustments.

Once healing is complete, typically several months after your extractions, we recommend a second, permanent set of custom dentures based on the fully healed contours of your mouth. This final denture is designed to provide a more precise fit, enhanced comfort, improved stability, and optimal function for years to come. Choosing a dual-set approach helps ensure you never have to go without teeth while also giving you the highest quality long-term fit and appearance.
