Immediate Dentures
An immediate denture may be the best solution when complete extractions of your remaining teeth is unavoidable. An immediate denture will allow you to avoid the embarrassment of living without teeth. We will begin the preparation for this procedure before your teeth are extracted.
The first step is taking impressions of your existing teeth and gums to create accurate duplicates for placement after tooth removal. At your extraction appointment, your immediate dentures are inserted creating a natural smile you can be proud of.
What you should know about immediate dentures
In most cases, we have no way of checking the fit of the denture in your mouth prior to extraction. Esthetic compromises may have to be made is some cases to compensate for inadequate space or structural concerns.
After Extraction
Great care should be taken to follow all postoperative instructions. Your gums and bone will recede after extraction, and regular check-ups and maintenance will monitor healing and reduce problems. Temporary linings or tissue conditioners will be required to create an optimal fit and may need to be adjusted or replaced a number of times during the healing period. A permanent denture reline will be required to ensure a comfortable and an exact fit after you have completed the healing process.
- The professionals at Still Waters Family Dentistry will advise you of the procedure that best suits your individual needs.

I love this dental staff. I've been with them for 20 years and 3 dentists. They never disappoint. Dr Downy has also impressed me. Very nice, gives you the treatment options and didn't push for a root canal as first line treatment.

Lauren is the best hygienist ever! She is gentle and thorough, personable and friendly. Dr Downy is not pushy about services. He makes recommendations, but totally leaves the decision up to the patient. The front office is always friendly and willing to help with any questions about making appointments and costs for procedures. I highly recommend this dentist office.

I started coming to this dentist office because I broke a tooth. They understood and got me right in to take care of the pain and I have been a customer ever since. They knew Dennis has taken over for the one that was originally there and he is every bit as friendly as the others. The staff didn't change and everyone goes out of their way to make you feel very comfortable.
