Same Day Dentures Repairs

Just like any doctor, it can take up to a few weeks to get an appointment with a same day dentures dentist if you haven’t been seen by them before. Going to a dentist that offers same day dentures has many benefits, the biggest being that you can get your dentures within hours or days instead of weeks.

If you choose to go to a dentist that offers same day dentures, it’s also going to beneficial for you if you need denture repairs or relines. After all, these dentists not only specialize in offering top quality custom dentures fast, they’re able to create them within hours because of their own on-site lab. So, if you need denture repairs, you’ll be able to get them done quickly, without much waiting, because everything the dentist needs to repair or reline your dentures is right in his office.

Like I’ve said before, while you may be going to a dentist that offers same day dentures, you don’t actually need to get your dentures in one day. You can save a significant amount of money if you decide to get your dentures within a few days to a week, rather than the day you go into the office. A huge portion of the cost comes from the rush that the dentist puts on their lab to create your dentures that day.

Same Day Dentures: Permanent Dentures in 1 Day

Getting dentures in a day doesn’t seem possible for many denture wearers. If you’ve heard of permanent same day dentures in the past, you may think that they are just too expensive. Or, maybe you haven’t heard of them yet because your dentist doesn’t offer them.

If you need dentures, consider getting same day dentures. I know of so many people, my grandparents included, who waited until the absolute last minute to get their dentures. And continue to wait until they can’t stand it for denture repairs. I can understand not wanting to be without your teeth. But, dentists have come up with a way to help you out.

Same day dentures are created the day you get your molds. These are more expensive than traditional dentures, but the benefits can far outweigh the costs. You go in for an early morning appointment, typically as soon as the office opens, and by the time the office closes, you have your dentures. And, they can do repairs even faster.

Talk to your dentist about same day dentures. If they can’t do it, consider going to a dentist who can. Even if you choose not to do the same day dentures, offices that offer this solution typically can get you your dentures faster than offices that don’t.

Dentures: When To Call Your Dentist

If you’re starting to notice that your dentures aren’t fitting like they once did, you need to call your dentist. Your dentures may need to be adjusted, dentists call it relining, or you may need a completely new set. If you visited a dentist who does same day dentures, they may be able to make the adjustments during your appointment.

As your mouth changes it can cause your dentures to fit improperly. In particular, your gums and bones can shrink which causes the changes in your denture fit. This is completely normal. When your dentures don’t fit properly, you can cause serious injury to your mouth: the irritation and sores are just the beginning. Call your dentist immediately if you notice any of the following:

• Looseness of the denture
• Gum / mouth irritation
• Sores in the mouth
• Broken pieces
• Chips or cracks in the denture
• Loosened teeth in the denture
• Significant wear of the teeth in the denture

Remember, with dentures you should still be taking care of your mouth, brushing regularly, eating a balanced diet, and visiting your dentist regularly. And, if you do need a new pair of dentures, you may be able to get same day dentures that fit perfectly from a dentist with an on-site lab.
