Dentures in a Day

Whether you are planning to have your very first set of dentures or to replace the ones you have now, you now actually have the option to get your dentures in a day.

In their most basic form, dentures in a day can be measured, made and fitted in just one visit. Because of this, they are perfect for patients whose gums have just healed from recent extractions and people who want to replace their current dentures.

Dentures in a day aren’t ideal for everyone though. First, you may live in an area where the nearest denturist with a lab equipped for immediate manufacturing isn’t quite near enough for you. Second, such dentures cannot be customized to suit your cosmetic requirements. They will be constructed from in-stock supplies and all choices are left up to the denturist and laboratory technician. If you really need new dentures the same day you go in for them and making compromises does not bother you then dentures in a day may be your best option.

Sometimes dentures in a day can take on a slightly different meaning. For instance, you can have immediate dentures fitted the same day your teeth are extracted. If you want dentures in a day, you will have to choose replacement dentures in advance so they can be ready and waiting to be fitted on the day of extraction. This way the new dentures can be cemented into the open sockets directly after extraction. Although you chose your dentures a day or more prior to extraction, they can still be considered same day dentures. This type of dentures in a day will need a few adjustments in the following weeks as the gums heal, but a lot of patients find it a satisfactory alternative to other denture procedures.

If either of these methods seems to suit your needs, consult with your denturists to know more about dentures in a day.
