An immediate denture is a temporary denture that is placed after the extraction (link to extraction page) of your teeth. This ensures that you do not have to leave our practice without teeth. You can also see the immediate denture as your first experience with dentures. This temporary prosthesis also ensures that swelling of the jaw is limited.
Below you can read more about the aftercare for an immediate denture and what you should take into account when you receive an immediate denture.
After extracting the teeth and placing the emergency denture, it can feel strange and painful to very painful for the first few days. This is very normal. Your teeth are actually wounds that need to heal and you are only at the beginning of the recovery process. The pain usually subsides within a few days.
You will visit the dentist after 24 hours for a (wound) check-up. Afterwards you go directly to the KPT for a check of your dentures. Your immediate denture will also be rebased. We are open daily throughout the year and we have at least 2 to 3 KPT staff in-house for good aftercare for our patients, also for emergencies.
While wearing the immediate prosthesis, pain may arise because the prosthesis pinches. The temptation is then great to remove your prosthesis. We recommend that you do not do this. This can open the wounds in the teeth again. When the immediate denture is removed, your gums may swell. When this happens, it becomes very difficult to put the emergency denture back in the mouth because it no longer fits.
You have been given an anesthetic for the treatment. It may be that this has not fully worked out after treatment. For this reason, you are advised to wait with eating and drinking until the anesthetic has worn off. The anesthetic ensures that you temporarily have no feeling in your teeth. Waiting to eat will prevent nasty accidents, such as biting your cheek or tongue or burning it.
It is also better not to consume very cold or very hot drinks for the first 24 hours, so that the blood clot remains and the wounds do not bleed again. This promotes the healing process. If eating is still painful at first, try eating soft foods.
After the wounds have healed, the jaw will begin to shrink. After three months we usually place a light filling at the KPT’er. After placement, we will decide whether a filling will take place.
Because we have the entire process from your own teeth to dentures in our own hands, we can pay more attention and care to you and your treatment. Our DentalZorg specialists manufacture your dentures in our own laboratory. We therefore do not deliver imported dentures from abroad. After all, we are ready for you every day to provide the best aftercare. We have mapped out a whole process for this. We are one of the few who can provide you with an immediate prosthesis within a period of five working days.
