Immediate Dentures in Edmonton, Alberta

Immediate dentures may be recommended when a patient is planning dental extractions and wants to have teeth in place right away. This approach helps you avoid going without teeth during the early healing period, so you can continue with daily routines while your mouth recovers. If you are comparing denture treatments offered at Millwoods Denture Clinic, you can start with our services for a wider overview and then review related options based on your timeline.


Before the extraction appointment, we take impressions and detailed measurements of your teeth, gums, and jaw. These records allow us to design an appliance that follows your natural contours as closely as possible at that stage. We also review appearance preferences such as tooth shade, tooth shape, and smile display, so the final look feels natural and supports facial features. If you are preparing for your first visit and want to know what to bring or what information may be needed, patient information can be helpful.

We coordinate timing with your denturist so your dentures are prepared in advance of the extraction day. In many cases, immediate dentures can be placed shortly after teeth are removed, allowing you to leave the dental office with teeth in place. For many patients, this reduces stress about a visible gap during healing and can provide gentle support to the tissues in the early recovery phase. If you are considering alternatives for added stability, you may also want to review implant-based options that can be planned with your denturist when appropriate. A helpful comparison point is implant retained dentures (overdenture), which describes a removable design that secures to implants.

Healing after extractions often takes a few months. As the gums recover, they naturally change shape and may shrink, which can affect how immediate dentures fit over time. It is common for the appliance to feel looser, for the bite to feel different than it did at first, or for certain areas to start rubbing as tissues settle. If you notice movement, sore spots, or changes in comfort, contact our clinic so we can evaluate the fit and make recommendations. In many cases, a minor adjustment may be enough, and in other situations a reline is needed to improve comfort as healing progresses. For more detail on how relines help update fit as the mouth changes, seedenture rebases and relines. For day-to-day cleaning, wear guidance, and storage tips during the healing period, at home care outlines common routines that help protect both the denture and the tissues.
