Efficient Immediate Dentures in Bendigo

Immediate Dentures – A Seamless Transition

If you need to have teeth extracted but don’t want to be without teeth during the healing process, immediate dentures offer a practical solution. Chris Hewitson Dentures Plus, located in Bendigo, we are experienced in hand-crafting high-quality immediate dentures, ensuring you maintain both function and aesthetics from day one. These dentures are constructed before your extractions, so they are ready to be placed immediately after your dental procedure. This means you can leave your dentist’s office with a complete smile, avoiding the discomfort and self-consciousness of being without teeth.

Emergency Dentures

At Dentures Plus in Bendigo, we offer immediate dentures—also known as emergency dentures—for those who have unexpectedly lost teeth due to injury or trauma. This means you won’t have to go without teeth during the healing process. It’s a fast, effective solution that restores both appearance and function while your gums and bone structure recover.

The Immediate Denture Process

The process begins with a consultation where Chris carefully assesses your oral health and takes precise impressions of your mouth. Using this information, he constructs your dentures in advance, ensuring they are ready for you to take to your preferred dentist for placement immediately after your teeth are extracted. This approach provides an immediate aesthetic solution while also assisting with oral function during the healing phase.

What to Expect After Denture Placement

As your gums heal, changes in the shape of your mouth will naturally occur due to bone resorption. This means your immediate dentures may begin to feel loose over time. To manage this, the use of denture adhesive may be required to improve stability and comfort during the healing process. Regular check-ups will help monitor your progress and determine the next steps for adjustments.

The Importance of a Denture Reline or Replacement

Approximately 4-6 months after your extractions, your dentures will require a reline or, in some cases, a remake to ensure a snug and comfortable fit. This is because the healing process causes the gums and underlying bone structure to change shape. A reline will refit the base of the denture to your gums, improving fit and function. It’s important to factor this into your treatment plan, as these adjustments are a necessary part of the process and involve an additional cost.
