Filling the Gaps

At Ballina Denture Clinic, we provide immediate dentures for patients throughout Ballina and surrounding areas, including Byron Bay, Lismore, Alstonville, Lennox Head and Bangalow. So, what is an immediate denture? Well, in some extreme circumstances, where the removal of all teeth becomes unavoidable, an immediate denture is the solution. An immediate denture is a full or partial denture that is fitted on the same day, directly after a patient’s teeth have been extracted. This process will help you avoid the embarrassment of being without teeth until a permanent denture is available. Immediate dentures are a stop-gap solution, as your gums need time to heal before a permanent denture is fitted. It also allows you to chew and speak properly, as well as get used to dentures during the waiting period.

Immediate dentures require planning. Before we extract your teeth, we’ll take a series of impressions to determine the precise shade, size and shape of your teeth. From there, we take a bite registration to determine a proper vertical dimension. This tells us how open or closed your mouth will be after we fit your denture. We’ll make your denture in time for your appointment so that you can wear it as soon as you’ve had your extractions. Got any questions? Contact our friendly team today to book an obligation-free consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I remove the denture while I sleep?

We usually recommended that you remove your denture while you sleep, however your dental prosthetist will discuss this with you. It’s a good idea to leave your denture out of your mouth for at least eight hours a day, to give the tissue supporting your denture a chance to rest.
How do I store my dentures when I’m not wearing them?

When your denture is not in your mouth, you should store it in the denture box provided. This will protect it from unforeseen loss or damage.
What should I do if my dentures hurt?

If you notice your denture is hurting, you’ll need to contact our clinic and arrange an appointment. It’s usual to experience some sore spots at first. We recommend that you leave the denture in your mouth for as long as possible before you come in for your appointment. This will allow us to see the cause of the problem and resolve it with slight adjustments.
