Missing teeth can significantly impact your confidence, eating habits, and overall quality of life, but same day dentures offer an immediate solution that can restore your smile in just one visit. At Associates in Oral and Implant Surgery in El Paso, TX, patients can receive fast, effective tooth replacement solutions without the lengthy waiting periods traditionally associated with denture treatment. This innovative approach allows you to walk into our office with missing or damaged teeth and leave the same day with a functional, attractive set of dentures.
Same day dentures, also known as immediate dentures, are prosthetic teeth that are placed immediately after tooth extraction during the same appointment. Unlike conventional dentures that require multiple visits over several weeks or months, this streamlined process allows patients to maintain their appearance and basic oral function without going through a period without teeth.
Immediate Placement: The dentures are custom-made based on impressions taken before your extractions and are ready for placement as soon as your natural teeth are removed.
Temporary Solution: While same day dentures provide immediate function, they typically serve as a temporary solution during the initial healing period, with adjustments made as your gums heal and change shape.
Choosing same day dentures at our El Paso practice offers numerous advantages for patients seeking quick solutions to tooth loss. The immediate nature of this treatment eliminates the social and functional challenges that come with being without teeth during the healing process.
The convenience factor is particularly important for busy El Paso residents who cannot afford extended time away from work or family responsibilities. Our experienced team understands the importance of maintaining your lifestyle while addressing your dental needs.
Understanding what to expect during your same day denture appointment can help ease any anxiety about the procedure. At Associates in Oral and Implant Surgery, we follow a comprehensive process designed to ensure optimal results and patient comfort.
Before your treatment day, Dr. Mark DuVernois or Dr. Scott Marshall will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health. This includes taking detailed impressions of your mouth, X-rays to assess bone structure, and discussing your specific needs and expectations. The impressions are sent to our dental laboratory where your custom dentures are fabricated.
On the day of your procedure, any remaining teeth that need removal are carefully extracted using gentle techniques designed to minimize discomfort. Our team prioritizes patient comfort and safety, utilizing modern sedation options when appropriate to ensure a pain-free experience.
Once extractions are complete and any necessary tissue adjustments are made, your pre-fabricated dentures are immediately placed. The fit is checked and minor adjustments are made to ensure proper positioning and comfort.
Before leaving our El Paso office, you'll receive detailed instructions for caring for your new dentures and managing the healing process. Our bilingual team ensures all patients fully understand their aftercare requirements.
Not every patient is an ideal candidate for same day dentures, and our experienced oral surgeons will evaluate your specific situation to determine the best approach. Several factors influence candidacy for this immediate denture solution.
Good candidates typically have realistic expectations about the adjustment period and understand that same day dentures may require several follow-up appointments for adjustments. Patients with adequate bone structure and healthy gum tissue generally experience the best outcomes with immediate denture placement.
Ideal candidates include:
Patients with certain medical conditions, inadequate bone support, or unrealistic expectations may be better suited for traditional denture procedures or dental implant solutions.
The first few weeks after receiving same day dentures require patience as your mouth adjusts to the new prosthetics. During this healing period, your gums will change shape as they recover from the extractions, which may affect the fit of your dentures.
Week 1-2: Focus on soft foods and gentle cleaning while extraction sites begin healing. Some swelling and minor discomfort are normal during this initial period.
Week 3-4: Gradually introduce more solid foods as comfort allows. Your dentures may feel loose as swelling subsides and tissues heal.
Month 2-3: Follow-up appointments for adjustments become crucial as your gums reach their new shape. Relines or adjustments help ensure proper fit and function.
Our El Paso team provides comprehensive follow-up care throughout your healing journey, making necessary adjustments to maintain comfort and function. We understand that each patient heals differently and customize our approach accordingly.
