Immediate Dentures in Richmond, BC

Immediate dentures are prepared before extractions and inserted after the teeth are removed. They allow eligible patients to receive replacement teeth on extraction day instead of waiting for their gums to heal without teeth.

Before your procedure, our denturist takes pre-extraction denture impressions and measurements of your mouth. We will also help you select the tooth shape, colour and appearance of your new dentures.

Our team coordinates with your dentist or oral surgeon so your dentures are ready for the scheduled extraction appointment. Sometimes called extraction-day dentures or same-day dentures, they are made in advance and inserted on the day of extraction.

Contact Richmond Denture Clinic today at (604) 273-4221 to schedule an immediate denture consultation in Richmond and learn whether this option is right for you.

What You Should Know About Immediate Dentures

Because immediate dentures are created before the natural teeth are removed, a complete try-in may not always be possible. After insertion, adjustments may be needed to refine the appearance, bite, comfort and fit.

Your gums and jaw will change as they heal following extraction. This can cause the dentures to become loose, even if they fit well initially. A temporary liner for immediate dentures or a tissue conditioner may be used during healing, and adjustments may be required to relieve pressure areas.

As healing progresses, your denturist will assess whether a reline can improve the fit or whether a replacement denture is more appropriate. Follow all postoperative instructions provided by your dentist, oral surgeon and denturist.

Richmond Denture Clinic provides immediate denture follow-up care throughout the process, including fit checks, adjustments, temporary liners and relines based on your individual needs.

Benefits of Immediate Dentures

• Avoid Going Without Teeth: Receive replacement teeth after extraction to help maintain your smile during healing.
• Support a Smoother Transition: Begin adapting to speaking and eating with immediate dentures as healing and your dental professional’s instructions allow.
• Cover Extraction Areas: When directed by your dental professional, immediate dentures may help protect extraction sites during early healing.
• Personalized Appearance: Tooth shape, shade and arrangement are selected using your preferences, facial features and available pre-extraction information.
• Ongoing Fit Support: Post-extraction denture fit checks allow your denturist to monitor healing and adjust the dentures as your mouth changes.
