What are Same-Day Dentures?
Same-day dentures are exactly what they sound like: replacement teeth crafted in a single day so patients don’t need to go without teeth, unlike with traditional dentures that require multiple appointments.
Same-day dentures can be completed so quickly because they are molded to your mouth before you have your teeth extracted. That way, you’ll be able to walk out of our dental office with a completed smile instead of having to wait multiple weeks to receive your permanent restoration. As you heal from your extraction procedure, we’ll make any final necessary adjustments to your replacement teeth to ensure that they fit perfectly.
Are You a Good Candidate For Same-Day Dentures?
Dr. Sutter typically recommends same-day dentures for patients who are looking to rebuild their smile quickly or who have damaged teeth that will need to be replaced. After he examines your mouth and takes X-rays to capture a complete visual of your oral structure, he’ll determine whether this treatment is the best option for you. He may also offer dental implants or full mouth reconstruction if either option fits your needs better.
How Same-Day Dentures Work
Many individuals who have been missing teeth for years seek a tooth replacement solution in the form of dentures and partials. Having a full set of teeth is crucial to proper nutrition, clear speech, and self-confidence; after all, a smile marred by multiple missing teeth isn’t a smile you’re very likely to show off to the people who matter most in your life. Dr. Sutter has been providing patients just like you with modern tooth replacement options for years, and he’s always happy to sit down with you to discuss your individual needs, concerns, and expectations.
If you and Dr. Sutter determine that same-day dentures are the right choice for you, he’ll begin the process by conducting a thorough assessment of your jaw, gums, and any remaining teeth. Specialized impressions will be taken to ensure a comfortable, secure fit and a natural appearance. With the same-day dentures procedure, your dentures will be placed on the same day that your extractions are performed, allowing you to move on with your daily life with a full smile that looks as good as you’ll feel.
Same-Day Dentures FAQs
Do Same-Day Dentures Hurt?
It’s true that your gums will likely be sore after your tooth extraction. They may be sensitive to your new dentures or feel tender as you move your mouth. However, same-day dentures can also “cushion” your gums to a certain extent, as well as (provided you clean them regularly) protect the extraction site from bacteria and external stimulation.
Rest assured, we’ll schedule periodic follow-up appointments to ensure you’re comfortable and are recovering smoothly. You should also be able to take over-the-counter pain relievers as necessary.
Do Same-Day Dentures Look Fake?
That’s part of the beauty of same-day dentures – they look just as natural as traditional dentures! We use modern, realistic materials for our restorations that can be color-matched to blend in seamlessly with your smile. Your friends and family will likely hardly notice the difference between your same-day dentures and real teeth.
Can I Eat with My Same-Day Dentures Right Away?
Technically you can, but similar to traditional dentures, it could take some time to adjust to your same-day dentures. Plus, your mouth will still be healing from your tooth extraction and will likely be sensitive to tougher, crunchier foods.
We recommend sticking to a soft-food diet for at least two weeks after receiving your same-day dentures in Eugene. Things like yogurt, scrambled eggs, brothy soups, pancakes, and well-cooked noodles will be much easier on your gums and jaw. Since they require less chewing, you’ll also be able to get used to how your dentures feel in your mouth without much difficulty.
How Long Do Same-Day Dentures Last?
This will primarily depend on how well you take care of them. If you keep them in a secure place when they’re not in use, clean them once per day, give them a rinse after eating, and soak them overnight in an approved denture cleaning solution, your same-day dentures could last for several years.
That said, keep in mind that we’ll likely have to adjust the fit of your same-day dentures as time goes on. This is simply because the shape of your mouth will change as the swelling in your gums fades away. If they start to feel loose or “off,” please let us know so we can help!
Are Same-Day Dentures Expensive?
The cost of same-day dentures in Eugene depends on several factors, including the severity of your unique case. This makes it difficult to pin down an exact price until after we’ve thoroughly examined your mouth. Many patients find, however, that with their dental insurance benefits or CareCredit flexible financing plan, same-day dentures are quite affordable.
