An immediate denture is a valuable dental solution that involves the placement of a complete or partial denture right after the removal of natural teeth. This immediate denture offers several benefits for individuals undergoing tooth extraction.
Advantages of choosing an immediate denture:
Never Appearance Without Teeth: With an immediate denture, you won't have to face the public without teeth. It provides you with the confidence of having a set of teeth even during the healing process.
Precise Tooth Replication: It's easier to replicate the shape, color, and arrangement of your natural teeth while some of them are still present in your mouth, ensuring a more natural look.
Tissue Protection and Reduced Bleeding: The immediate denture acts like a protective barrier for the extraction site, reducing bleeding and promoting a smoother healing process.
Early Speech Patterns: You can establish your speech patterns early with an immediate denture. You won't have to learn to speak without teeth and then relearn after receiving a new denture.
Improved Chewing: Having an immediate denture allows you to chew better compared to having no teeth at all.
Minimized Facial Distortion: Tooth removal can sometimes lead to facial distortion. An immediate denture helps minimize this effect.
