Tooth Extractions

We understand that extracting your teeth can seem intimidating, so we help you consider all of your restorative options carefully before moving forward.

Answer is Yes. such dentures are known as “immediate dentures. Our dentist will see to it that you get immediate denture on the same day as extraction so that you don’t have to leave our clinic with an empty mouth which can be quite embarrassing.

Immediate dentures allow you to maintain your appearance, and they also cover up the extraction sites, which can help promote better healing and reduce bleeding after tooth extraction.

However, the fit of a set of immediate dentures is usually not perfect, since they are made before your teeth are extracted.
