Having damaged or missing several teeth can harm one’s self-esteem. Tooth loss can be due to gum disease, injury, accident, or a genetic disorder called ectodermal dysplasia. Fortunately, there are now teeth replacement options available to improve the appearance and function of the mouth. If you are looking for a teeth replacement option, Treasure Coast dentures offer several denture options, including partial and complete dentures.

What Are Immediate Treasure Coast Dentures?

Before the remaining tooth is removed, your dentist will generally take impressions and measurements during a preliminary visit. Immediate dentures are placed immediately on the same day that the remaining teeth are removed. This is perfect for patients who do not want to go without teeth. The only disadvantage of immediate dentures (partial or complete) is that they cannot be tried in advance.

Benefits of Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures act as a temporary solution for tooth loss while waiting for the bone and gums to heal after extraction. Permanent dentures may take some time to be ready, and immediate dentures act as a bandage to minimize swelling and control bleeding. Having immediate dentures installed after tooth extraction allows patients to chew better and reduce any facial distortion that can occur with missing teeth.

Post-Op Instructions for Immediate Dentures

Dentures take some time for the patients to get used to. During the adjustment period, there may be some discomfort. However, your dentist will monitor healing through regular check-ups to reduce problems and discomfort.
