I need dentures and I am finding that there are more types of dentures than I knew about. It\u2019s good in a way because I am hoping for something that will look half way like natural teeth and that won\u2019t leave me walking around toothless. It is also a little scary because I want to be sure that I make the right choice for dentures. Can you give me information on an immediate denture? What is involved? Should I ask for an immediate denture for my implants? &#8211; Robin<\/p>\n<p>Robin &#8211; An immediate denture is received on the same day that your natural teeth are extracted, or on the same day you receive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/dental-implants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dental implants<\/a>. In advance of the extraction, the denture is made. The denture is crafted based on an impression of your mouth. It will be secured to your dental implants as a form of temporary tooth replacement.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Expect with Dental Implants and Immediate Dentures<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_772\" style=\"width: 212px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-772\" class=\"size-full wp-image-772\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/implant-overdentures-bar-retained-lowell-ma.jpg\" alt=\"Diagram of a dental implant bar placed in the bone with a denture hovering over it and ready to be secured to the implants.\" width=\"202\" height=\"174\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-772\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bar-retained implant overdentures<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The advantages of an immediate denture are that it will look natural because it is based on impressions of your natural teeth. Of course, you can request a different look for your final prosthesis. Also, the dentures are placed immediately, so you don\u2019t have to go without teeth for any period. Whether it\u2019s a temporary denture or your permanent prosthesis, it will be immediately loaded on your dental implants.<\/p>\n<p>If your immediate denture will be your permanent denture, it will cost more than conventional dentures because it will need to be adjusted as your jawbone shrinks after your teeth are extracted. The denture will need to be refit and relined. It is possible that you will need a new denture altogether. It is wise to receive dental implants because they slow the progression of jawbone shrinkage.<\/p>\n<p>If you need a complete set of dentures, your molar teeth may be extracted before the dentures are made. This will give the extraction site time to heal, and it will help the denture fit better. Sometimes, implant overdentures are recommended, because they can be placed over your remaining natural teeth.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend that you visit a dentist who is experienced in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/dental-implants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">restoring dental implants with dentures<\/a> and in cosmetic dentistry. The teeth of cosmetic dentures will look natural, and a cosmetic dentist will customize the dentures to match your preferences and facial features. He or she will also thoroughly explain your options for dentures, as well as which options will be most compatible with your needs.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by Dr. Michael Szarek, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/Cosmetic-dentist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lowell, MA accredited cosmetic dentist<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m going to have my remaining teeth extracted and get 6 dental implants put in.
