What Are Immediate Dentures?

Immediate dentures (or same-day dentures) are a type of custom-made prosthesis designed to replace missing teeth immediately after tooth extraction. They act as temporary dentures while your jaw and gums heal and adapt. Because impressions are taken before and/or just after extraction, immediate dentures allow you to maintain your smile, speech, and facial structure right away—rather than waiting weeks or months without teeth.

These new dentures help you avoid the emotional and practical downsides of missing teeth (appearance, chewing, speaking) and transition into your permanent dentures or an implant-supported restoration with far less disruption.

Why Choose Dr. Fama and Dr. Whiteside for Your Immediate Dentures?

As your local Green Bay dentists, we provide personalized, custom immediate dentures using modern dental technology and advanced materials, including digital impressions. We understand the specific dental needs of Northeast Wisconsin and tailor your complete or partial dentures to your remaining teeth, gums, and jawbone anatomy for improved fit, comfort, and outcomes.

We offer full, coordinated care from the initial tooth extraction through immediate denture placement, healing, and final permanent restoration planning, ensuring continuity of care without the hassle of multiple providers. We prioritize communication and comfort, recognizing that the missing teeth can be overwhelming, and we’re committed to making sure you feel informed and supported every step of the way.

Benefits of Immediate Dentures

Choosing immediate dentures (rather than waiting) offers several advantages:

• Same-Day Appearance and Speech Restoration: Unlike waiting for healing, you leave the dental office with your new denture teeth in place, immediately restoring your look and ability to speak.
• Ridge Preservation and Support: Immediate dentures act as a protective “bandage” over extraction sites. This is vital for helping to preserve the jawbone ridge and minimizing bone resorption, especially for patients transitioning to implant-supported dentures.
• Streamlined Process and Cost-Effectiveness: The treatment typically requires fewer overall appointments compared to waiting for complete healing before creating a separate temporary prosthesis.
• Continuous Wear for Comfort: You avoid the period of being edentulous (without teeth) during healing, as the prosthesis is worn immediately.
• Superior Fit and Comfort: By taking impressions right before or immediately after extractions, the resulting fit is more precise and customized than starting the impression process after the gums have fully healed.

The Immediate Denture Process at Our Green Bay Office

Here’s what you can expect when you choose immediate dentures in Green Bay:

Initial Exam and Consultation

Your consultation involves a thorough assessment of your oral health, including an evaluation of any remaining teeth, as well as your gum and jawbone condition. We’ll also discuss your personal goals for replacing missing teeth. This process includes taking X-rays, photographs, and impressions.

Based on this comprehensive evaluation, we’ll have an open discussion to determine the best treatment path for you, whether it’s immediate dentures, conventional dentures, or implant-supported dentures.

Treatment Planning and Preparation

After deciding that immediate dentures are the right choice, we’ll schedule the extraction day. Please make the necessary preparations beforehand: arrange for transportation, as you may not be able to drive immediately after the extractions or sedation, and plan on following a soft-food diet for a few days while your gums heal.

Tooth Extractions and Immediate Denture Placement

On the day of your procedure, you won’t leave without teeth. Dr. Fama or Dr. Whiteside will perform the necessary extractions (with local anesthesia and/or sedation as required) and then immediately place your custom immediate denture.

Healing Period and Adjustments

Follow-up visits are essential as your gums and jawbone heal and remodel. Because the jaw changes during the healing process, immediate dentures require more adjustments, relines, and care compared to conventional dentures.

Final Restoration/Permanent Dentures

After the healing period, which generally takes a few months, we’ll proceed with creating your permanent denture or transitioning to an implant-supported prosthesis. This final step is crucial for guaranteeing long-term comfort, a proper fit, and full function.

Do You Qualify for Immediate Dentures?

Immediate dentures can be an excellent option for certain patients. Here are the key factors we consider:

• Extent of Tooth Loss: This treatment is highly suitable for patients needing multiple teeth extracted or those undergoing full-arch extractions.
• Aesthetics and Function: If your main concerns are maintaining your appearance, preserving chewing function, or avoiding time without teeth, immediate dentures align well with these goals.
• Condition of Remaining Teeth and Jaw: We evaluate your existing natural teeth to determine how they’ll integrate with the dentures. A healthy jawbone and gums are essential for the long-term success of the prosthesis.
• Healing and Medical Status: While age is not a limiting factor, patients with systemic health conditions (such as diabetes or compromised bone) may require specialized planning. Be aware that some studies indicate that immediate dentures necessitate more intensive postoperative care.
• Commitment and Cost: Immediate dentures often have a higher initial cost due to the same-day benefit and necessary follow-up appointments. However, many patients find that the convenience and aesthetic advantages are worth the investment.
