What to Expect With New Dentures
During the transition process for adjusting to dentures, there are a few functions that dentures will impact. The first is chewing. Immediately following the denture process, patients will have to eat soft foods for a few days. The second is speech. Once an individual receives dentures, he or she will have to adjust to speaking with dentures. There will also most likely be a period of time in which the patient has to go without teeth before receiving the new dentures. Due to these impacts on the individual, we offer patients immediate dentures. These dentures only take one day for placement and are more efficient than natural dentures. However, immediate dentures may not be for everyone.
Dentures Without the Wait
While some teeth may fall out naturally with age, there are cases in which we need to remove the rest of the teeth before placing full dentures. In fact, many people find it easier to replace all of their teeth instead of having partial dentures. However, that can mean that people will need to make multiple appointments and go several days to even a week without teeth. By investing in immediate dentures, patients can receive the dentures after removing the teeth to avoid a variety of inconveniences. The patient will not have to worry as we will ensure that the patient has the proper care and does not feel anything while we remove the remaining teeth in the mouth. Once we complete this step, we will insert the dentures. These dentures will help to protect the tissues of the gums as they heal. Patients will not have to spend several days without teeth while waiting for a dental lab to construct the dentures and can begin the adjustment process right away.

Immediate Dentures
One benefit of immediate dentures is that patients only have to learn to speak with one set of dentures. With the traditional dentures process, patients will learn to speak with temporary dentures in place for several days, only to repeat the process when the new dentures are complete. Due to this, many people struggle to adapt and spend more time with speech difficulties than only needing to adapt to one pair of dentures. With immediate dentures, patients will be able to continue their daily routine with minimal changes. Another problem many face with traditional dentures is learning to chew with the new set of teeth. Fortunately, immediate dentures help the patient do this faster than regular dentures and prevent them from having to repeat the process.
