Worried about having to go in public without teeth while you heal from extractions?

Problem solved! We will have your immediate dentures ready to go in right after your procedure. Keep reading to find out more!

What Are the Advantages of Immediate Dentures?

Help control swelling
Help control bleeding
Help you start getting used to dentures right away. The alternative is getting used to being without teeth while your extraction sites heal, then still having to learn to function with dentures once you’re healed.
Again, no need to go without teeth after your procedure. Leave our clinic with new teeth the same day your old teeth are removed.

What Are Immediate Dentures?

These are dentures which are placed immediately following the removal of your remaining natural teeth, either upper, lower, or both. They’re made in our on-site denture lab, which means no long waits without teeth. At Memphis Dentures and Implants, we also include a package to help you adjust to and function with your dentures as you heal from your procedure. This includes a series of soft linings / soft re-fittings and a final long-term re-fit after you have finished healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

The process typically takes 6 months, but can take longer for some patients.

Procedure – your teeth are removed and your new teeth are placed.
Series of soft liners (soft re-fittings) over 6 month healing period.
Final re-fit (processed hard reline) at end of 6 month healing period.

Yes, your dentures are made from acrylic teeth and an acrylic base. While these materials are very strong, they can be damaged. Be careful not to drop your dentures, especially onto porcelain sinks, ceramic tiles, etc.

**One of the most common ways dentures are damaged beyond repair is when a dog (or sometimes cat) gets ahold of them. Pets and animals love to chew on dentures and can often damage them beyond repair very quickly. Be extra careful to put your dentures up where your pet can’t get to them. **

We do not currently put patients to sleep, however, we do offer oral conscious sedation. This medication will help to relax you and often makes it so you don’t even remember your procedure. For this, we write you a prescription, and you can pick it up at your pharmacy of choice. NOTE: You MUST have a driver for this procedure, someone who can drive you after you have taken your oral sedation pill(s). You MUST NOT operate a motor vehicle or any machinery after taking your medication.

No, this is not just a procedure for the elderly. It’s actually quite common for people in their 40s, 30, even 20s to need to replace their teeth. Replacing bad teeth can be hugely beneficial to your overall physical health, and being able to smile, laugh, and converse confidently with teeth you’re proud of can be hugely beneficial to your emotional health. Again, needing to replace teeth early in life is not uncommon at all.

**Significant bleeding will have stopped before you leave the clinic, however, expect to have some slight bleeding (oozing) for 1-3 days after the procedure. In addition, you will most likely notice increased salivation when we first put your temporary teeth in. When this increased saliva mixes with a little blood, it can look like a lot of blood. If heavy bleeding continues, please call the office. **

An old home reemedy that still works really well to help clotting and stop bleeding is the use of tea bags. Just get a regular tea bag, get it damp, ring out the excess water, place it on your extraction site or sites, and the tea bags will help you clot. Multiple tea bags can be used if needed. Replace the tea bags as they get saturated with blood. This process can be repeated as many times as you need.
