What is an immediate denture?

Does “immediate” mean it’s made in one day?

No. The denture is built before your extraction date, not on it. “Immediate” describes when it goes in, not how fast it’s made.

An immediate denture is a complete or partial denture made in advance of your extractions and inserted the same day your teeth come out, so you’re never without teeth. It’s also called a surgical denture. Because it’s fitted to a mouth that hasn’t healed yet, it needs adjustments and a reline as your gums settle.

What’s different about immediate dentures

Should you get immediate dentures?

You can have a denture ready for extraction day, or you can have the teeth removed, let your gums heal for several months, and have a conventional denture made once everything has settled. Neither one is wrong. They suit different people.

What to Expect, Step by Step

How the Immediate Denture Process Works

Who does what, from your first visit to the day your teeth come out.

How far ahead do I need to start? About 4 weeks because our lab is on site, we’re not waiting on an outside lab’s queue.

The Process

Patient FAQ

What to Expect After Extraction Day

You’ll leave our office with teeth. Here’s what the healing process actually looks like.

Will my denture fit right away?

Yes — but not permanently. Immediate dentures are placed the same day as extraction, so you never go without teeth. But as your gums heal and your jawbone remodels over the following months, the fit will change. That's completely normal and expected.

How often will I need to come back?

Plan on several visits in the first few months. Early on, we'll adjust pressure spots and monitor healing. As your tissue changes, we'll add temporary soft relines. Most patients settle into a stable fit within four to six months.

What's a reline, and why do I need one?

A reline reshapes the inside surface of your denture to match your current gum contours. Soft relines are temporary — they cushion and adapt during active healing. A hard or permanent reline is done once your gums have fully stabilized, giving you a long-term comfortable fit.

What happens if I skip follow-ups?

The denture becomes loose, uncomfortable, and can cause sore spots or tissue damage. Healing doesn't pause because you skip an appointment — your mouth keeps changing whether or not your denture is adjusted to match.

  • No question is too small. If something feels off, call us — that’s what follow-up care is for.

What to Expect After Extraction Day

You’ll leave our office with teeth. Here’s what the healing process actually looks like.

  • Your gums will shrink.

  • Your bite will change.

  • Your denture will need adjusting.

This isn’t a flaw in the process — it IS the process. Immediate dentures are designed to evolve with you.

That’s why follow-up care isn’t optional. Soft relines, pressure adjustments, and eventually a permanent reline are all part of giving you a denture that fits as well in month six as it did on day one.

Adjustments

Pressure spots are common in the first two weeks. Quick chairside fixes keep you comfortable.

Soft Relines

Temporary material added inside the denture to compensate for tissue changes during healing.

Permanent Reline

Once your gums stabilize, we reshape the denture interior for a long-term precision fit.
