Immediate Dentures in Richmond, BC

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

Before your procedure, our denturist takes detailed 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 a consultation and learn whether immediate dentures in Richmond are 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. Temporary tissue conditioners or liners may be used during healing, and immediate denture adjustments may be required to relieve pressure areas.

Once healing has progressed, your denturist will assess whether an immediate denture 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 ongoing support throughout the process, including fit checks, adjustments, temporary liners and relines based on your individual needs.
