Austin Denture Clinic


Post-Immediate Dentures

Post-immediate dentures are closer to standard dentures in terms of fit and fabrication.

The process, which takes a minimum of 3-6 weeks, is started after your gums have healed enough to take impressions. Before completion, you will be asked to come in for a fitting of your dentures to ensure a better fit for improved comfort and esthetics.

The decision to acquire Immediate or Post-immediate dentures is usually unique to your particular situation. Surrey Denture Clinic can provide assistance and guidance towards making the right choice for you.

Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are the solution we provide when the rest of your remaining teeth are due for extractions. Should you wish to avoid being completely without teeth for an extended period after extraction, we can start the procedure to fit you with immediate dentures prior to the extractions.

Our registered denturists (RDs) will make an impression of your existing teeth and gums prior to your surgery. They will then use those impressions in the construction of your new dentures, duplicating your original teeth or even improving their appearance should you desire.

Some guidelines on immediate dentures:

  • In some cases, there is no way of trying on dentures prior to extractions.
  • Please carefully follow post-operative instructions from your surgeon and denturists.
  • Temporary linings are advised to ensure a positive fit.
  • Please schedule regular check-ups to ensure ideal healing and the continued good fit of your dentures.

After your gums have completely healed, a permanent reline or measurements for a new denture is advisable to ensure a comfortable and exact fit. Our RD's have the prerequisite skills and years of experience to provide advice on options that best meets your specific needs.
