What is the difference between conventional and immediate dentures?
Conventional dentures are made and inserted after teeth have been removed and the tissues have healed. Healing may take several months. Immediate Dentures are inserted immediately after teeth have been removed. To do this, our participating dentists take measurements and impressions of your mouth during a preliminary visit. An advantage of immediate dentures is that the wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing period. However, bone and gums can shrink over time, especially during the first six months after teeth have been removed. When gums shrink, immediate dentures may require relining or even replacing to fit properly. A conventional denture can then be made once the tissues have healed. Healing may take at least 6-8 weeks.
