Not everyone can afford the luxury of staying at home while being prepared for permanent dentures in Jacksonville Beach area. Although it may seem impossible, dentists can fit a set of dentures to those who must be at work and need to maintain their appearance, this includes making the necessary extractions. Of course it must be realized that these dentures are a temporary measure and remain fitted until the permanent denture has been produced and it is ready for fitting. A temporary set of same day dentures can be very beneficial to some people even though there is an additional cost involved.
When a dentist tells you that “teeth in a day” is a real solution it is easy to be confused. The actual dentures are not made on the same day as the teeth are extracted but what is important to the patient is they are fitted on the same day. Once the decision has been made to have dentures in Jacksonville Beach the dentist will make a number of impressions and take defined measurements of the patient’s oral cavity. Armed with this data the dentist can design the temporary denture which in turn can be produced at a dental laboratory. On the day the natural teeth are extracted the temporary denture is available for use by the patient.
Upon completion of the extractions the temporary denture is put into the patient’s mouth. This temporary denture has multiple benefits, not only does the patient leave the office with teeth the denture is of significant benefit by reducing the bleeding and swelling which is a natural result of the extractions. The temporary denture helps to reduce the amount of jaw bone which gets absorbed back into the body. It is this reduction in jaw bone through re-absorption that changes the patient’s appearance.
There are other advantages to getting teeth in a day; perhaps the primary advantage is that the patient will not be placed in a potential socially awkward situation. As well as not being seen with open wounds from the extractions, the patient will be able to eat at least some food, food that otherwise could not be eaten. The impact on the speech pattern is not nearly as noticeable as when the first dentures to be fitted are the permanent ones.
It does take some time for the dental lab to produce the permanent dentures in Jacksonville Beach; during this time expect to make a few visits back to the dentist who will reline the temporary denture for comfort. As the mouth and jaw heals it settles into a new profile and the denture will become loose, relining is what will keep it snug. Once the dentist is confident that the healing process is over and the jaw has readjusted as much as it will, the permanent dentures are made.
