What Are Immediate (or Temporary) Dentures in Toronto?
Immediate, or same-day, dentures are temporary dentures placed in your mouth on the day of your teeth extractions. The patients will typically wear immediate dentures for three to six months, allowing for the extraction sites to heal. After that, same-day dentures can be replaced with permanent, custom-fabricated dentures.
While immediate dentures are often advertised as a same-day tooth replacement option, it is important to understand that they are temporary in nature. Same-day dentures aren’t custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth, which means that their fit isn’t ideal, and they aren’t comfortable enough for permanent wear. Instead, immediate dentures in Toronto serve as a temporary placeholder until your gum tissues heal enough to fit and fabricate higher-quality, permanent dentures.

Are Immediate Dentures a Good Idea?
Advantages of Same-Day Dentures
- Same-day dentures immediately fill gaps in your mouth after dental extractions
- They can be used to protect your gums throughout the healing process and help to reduce gum bleeding
- You can get immediate dentures right on the day of your extractions
Disadvantages of Immediate Dentures
- Immediate dentures aren’t custom-made to fit your mouth, which means they may slip or move when you talk or eat
- While you are waiting for your permanent dentures, the temporary ones might need to be periodically adjusted or relined for comfort
- You might experience irritation or soreness as your mouth tissues adjust to the new dentures
- Temporary dentures must be worn for 3 to 6 months until your extraction sites fully heal, and your new permanent dentures are ready
- Same-day dentures don’t always feel like natural teeth. Plus, they aren’t as sharp as higher-quality permanent dentures, which may make chewing a little difficult
- Immediate dentures can’t be tried on before the teeth are extracted
