Immediate Dentures: After Extractions
Dentures placed the same day as extractions. Here's how they work.
Dr. Ahmed Al-Rashid
Medical Director
How it works
Impression taken before extractions. Denture made. Placed the same day teeth are removed. You never go without teeth.
Healing period
Gum shrinks over 3–6 months. Denture needs relining at 6 months.
Final denture
After 6 months, conventional denture made for best long-term fit.
