Dentures Ottawa

An immediate denture may be the best solution when complete extractions are unavoidable. We at ottawa denture and implant denture clinic understand that you do not want to go without teeth for the healing period after extraction and provide an immediate solution.

An immediate denture will allow you to enjoy life to the fullest with your bright smile, while avoiding the embarrassment of living without teeth.

To get started, Prior to extractions, we will take impressions and specific measurements of your existing oral situation. Together we will  determine the size, shape and colour (shade) of the teeth to be used as well as other esthetic considerations for your new dentures.

The finished immediate denture  is inserted immediately after your tooth or teeth have been extracted, usually while your mouth is still frozen with local anesthetic.

your smile is restored directly after your extraction(s).  An immediate denture will also protect the sensitive gum tissue at the extraction site(s). The denture acts as a bandage to:

• Control swelling and allow the healing to progress
• Help keep the gums/tissue free of debris (food impaction) that can cause irritation
• Prevent dislodging of extraction site(s) blood clots that are necessary for healing

During the healing process after extractions, the presence of an immediate denture can also help make the transition from eating soft foods to a wider variety of food easier and faster. However, the ability to eat a wide variety of textures does take time, and the rate at which extraction sites heal varies with every individual. The results and length of healing time may vary considerably (from a few weeks to several months) due to many factors.
