Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the most frequently asked questions below to help you get started
How do we do Immediate Dentures?
This involves taking impressions of your mouth while your teeth are still present. Models of your mouth are then produced. Your Dental Prosthetist can then do simulated extractions on the models and place the denture teeth as close to your natural placement as possible. They may also be able to correct things about the position of your current teeth which are impeding your oral and overall health. When your teeth are extracted your new denture is ready to be inserted by your dentist. In this way, you never walk around without teeth.
Adapting to Immediate Dentures?
It is essential that you follow the post-operative instructions of your dentist and Dental Prosthetist very carefully and ensure you attend your follow-up appointments. You will have to wear the new dentures for about three days until the swelling and bleeding are controlled. Soreness is a handicap if you want a well-fitting denture for comfort or tolerance. The Dental Prosthetist will adjust the teeth if you are sore anywhere. Ensure you follow the oral hygiene instructions provided by your dentist and Dental Prosthetist. It usually includes a frequent rinsing of the mouth with warm, salty water to help control harmful bacteria encouraging healing of the gums.0
