Same Day Dentures – An Option Before Surgery

I went on a trip with my Aunt this weekend and found another reason why having a dentist who can do same day dentures is important. Her friend’s mother was going in for a major surgery. It was going to take her a few months to recover because of her age. She went to the dentist after she knew about the surgery and got the news that she should get dentures and have all of her teeth removed. Because of her surgery, she needed to have her dentures created quickly so she would be able to eat and recover from the more pressing matter on her health.

She didn’t know about same day dentures and ended up needing to push her needed surgery back so she would be able to have her dentures created and adjusted prior to it. Same day dentures would have been a great alternative for her, she would have been able to get her surgery as planned and get out of pain faster.

Everyone talks about learning all of your options for medical care, but very few discuss the importance of knowing your options for your dental care. If you need dentures for whatever reason, make sure you know what your options are. There are so many options you can consider and same day dentures can be a great option for many people out there. Your current dentist may not offer the option for same day dentures because it requires a dental clinic that has an on-site lab so doing research yourself may help.

Need dentures? Consider Same Day Dentures

So you’re considering getting new dentures. Congratulations! New dentures can make a world of difference for you, especially when an old pair isn’t fitting comfortably anymore. Have you given any thought to same day dentures? When looking for a dentist that offers same day dentures, you typically start looking for dental clinics with an on-site lab.

Having dentures to replace misplaced teeth will help your appearance and can even help improve your speech if your old set didn’t fit properly. Dentures present facial sagging, keeping facial muscles firmer and helping keep you looking like you.

When you’re looking for same day dentures, you’ll likely find dental offices that provide “immediate” dentures, which are a temporary set that you get while your permanent dentures are being created. Don’t confuse these “immediate” dentures with what I’m talking about. I’m talking about permanent, same day dentures. These aren’t a temporary pair, the office is making your permanent set while you are sitting in the waiting room.

For most offices you’ll come in the morning to have impressions made. Then, while you wait, the denture lab will start making your dentures from the mold the dentist just took. You’ll receive your same day dentures by the end of the day, custom made to fit your mouth. And, while you may have to wait 8 hours, you won’t be spending weeks, or months, without your dentures.
