Immediate dentures can be an effective solution when you need to have all your remaining teeth extracted. They help you avoid the discomfort and self-consciousness of being without teeth. At Picasso Dental, we start preparing for your immediate dentures before your teeth are removed.
The process begins by taking precise impressions of your current teeth and gums. These molds help us craft dentures that fit well and look natural right after your extractions. On the day your teeth are removed, your immediate dentures are placed so you leave our office with a confident smile.

In many cases, it’s not possible to test how well the denture will fit before your teeth are extracted. Sometimes, small adjustments or esthetic compromises are necessary to accommodate your mouth’s structure and available space.
After Extraction
Following your extraction, it’s important to carefully follow all postoperative care instructions. Your gums and bone will naturally shrink during healing. We recommend regular check-ups and maintenance to track your progress and prevent complications. Temporary denture liners or tissue conditioners may be applied to improve comfort and fit as your mouth heals. These may need periodic adjustments or replacements.
Eventually, once healing is complete, a permanent denture reline is recommended to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and securely.
- The caring team at Picasso Dental will guide you through every step, tailoring the procedure to your needs.
- Temporary liners, tissue conditioners, and relines are additional services that may incur separate fees.
