Immediate Dentures in Cochrane to Replace Extracted Teeth
Having your teeth extracted and losing natural teeth can be a life-changing event. Fortunately, immediate dentures in Cochrane can be inserted right after extraction. These dentures are usually worn for two to three months after teeth removal and protect the gums during their healing. Immediate dentures also ease the transition to permanent dentures by supporting the integrity of the bone structure.
In addition to health benefits, immediate dentures will save you the awkward situation of socializing or going about your routine without teeth. If you are getting your teeth extracted and want immediate dentures, connect with us for a free consultation.
How It Works
Immediate dentures are necessary following the inevitable extraction of your existing natural teeth. An impression of your gums and teeth before extraction is required to accurately fabricate the working models of your immediate dentures. These dentures are then inserted to replace the extracted teeth. As a result, you can have artificial teeth during the post-operative healing period of your gums.
Once healed, the oral tissues (gums and bones) shrink. A denture adjustment then becomes necessary to achieve a comfortable fit. Therefore, patients are advised to visit the denture centre regularly for check-ups and maintenance. The final outcome leaves you with a set of permanent dentures that are comfortable, fit perfectly, and improve your oral health and appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does an Immediate Denture Cost?
Immediate dentures are fabricated the same day as you get your teeth extracted. However, the cost depends on whether you choose temporary or transitional dentures during your healing period.
How Long Must You Keep the Immediate Dentures On?
It’s important to consistently wear your immediate dentures for at least 48 hours after tooth extraction. In certain cases, your denturist may advise you to keep your immediate dentures on for at least the first week. After this period, you’ll be able to take them out for cleaning. Overall, immediate dentures are to be worn for two to three months before being replaced by a more permanent solution.
Do Teeth Extraction and Denture Insertion Have to Be Done on the Same Day?
If the patient wishes, both procedures can be done on the same day. In most cases, the mould and jaw measurements of the natural teeth are taken before extraction.
