Immediate dentures in Nashua, NH

How immediate dentures work

With conventional dentures, patients usually wait several weeks to months after extractions for the gums to heal before the final denture is made. Immediate dentures remove that waiting period. We take impressions and measurements while your natural teeth are still in place, and the denture is made in advance. On extraction day, the denture goes in right after the teeth are removed. It also acts like a bandage, protecting the extraction sites and helping control bleeding and swelling.

What to expect while you heal

In the first days, keep the denture in as directed. We'll usually see you within 24 to 48 hours to check it and make adjustments. As your gums and bone heal over the next several months, they shrink and change shape, so the denture will start to feel loose. We'll make adjustments and temporary soft relines along the way. Once healing is complete, you'll need a permanent reline or a new denture for a lasting fit.

Benefits and trade-offs

The biggest benefit is never going without teeth, at work, with family, or in public. Immediate dentures also help you adjust to speaking and eating with dentures while you heal. The trade-off is that they need more adjustments and follow-up visits than conventional dentures, and there's no chance to try in the final teeth before extractions. Some patients choose to use their immediate denture as a temporary while planning implant-supported teeth.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, with care. For the first few days, stick to soft, cool foods and liquids. Avoid very hot, hard, spicy, or sticky foods while the extraction sites heal. Cut food into small pieces and chew on both sides. You can gradually return to a more normal diet as your gums heal.
For the first 24 hours, it's usually best to keep them in to control swelling. After that, we'll give you instructions. Most patients then remove dentures at night to let the gums rest, and clean and soak them. Follow our specific directions, since they may vary with your healing.
After teeth are removed, the gums and underlying bone shrink as they heal, mostly in the first several months. The denture was made to fit your mouth before that change, so it gradually loosens. Relines and adjustments keep it comfortable until a permanent reline or new denture is made.
