Soaking: Soaking your dentures overnight in a denture cleaning solution can help remove bacteria and food particles.

Regular Check-ups: Schedule regular follow-up appointments with your dentist to monitor your healing and make any necessary adjustments to your dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions

▼How long do immediate dentures last?

Immediate dentures are a temporary solution. They typically last six months to a year while your jawbone and gums heal from the tooth extraction. Once the healing process is complete, you can transition to permanent dentures.

▼How long does it take to receive immediate dentures?

The process of getting immediate dentures can be completed in a single day. After a thorough examination and impressions, the dentures are fabricated while the necessary extractions are performed. Once the extractions are complete, the dentures can be fitted immediately.

▼Do immediate dentures look like natural teeth?

The details on immediate dentures can be made to look quite natural, as is one of the advantages of an immediate replacement, but they may not be as realistic as permanent dentures. This is because they are made based on preliminary impressions and may need adjustments as your gums and jawbone heal.

▼Are immediate dentures painful?

No, temporary dentures aren’t painful. The initial insertion of immediate dentures may cause discomfort, especially if you've recently had teeth extracted. However, this discomfort should subside as your gums heal and you adjust to the dentures. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any pain.

My family and I have been going to Buck Family Dentistry for over 5 years. Some of the services we have received are: check-ups, pediatric exams and cleanings, pediatric fillings, orthodontics, tongue tie issues, and traumatic injuries to teeth. I have nervously called on many occasions and Dr. Buck and his entire team are sure to calm my fears! Dr. Buck and entire staff are nothing short of amazing along with being very compassionate! I would hands down recommend them to everyone.

Buck Family Dentistry is the friendliest and most comfortable dentist office I’ve every visited. The moment you walk in the door you are greeted with people who genuinely ask how your family is. Once in a chair, whether it’s for a routine cleaning or more abrasive work, Dr. Michael Buck makes you feel comfortable and always makes sure you are happy. I had Invisalign put on 6 months ago and it was the easiest process ever and so happy with my results so far!

Dr. Michael Buck is a very knowledgable and highly skilled dentist. He has the most up-to-date dental equipment, is incredibly friendly, and explains procedures and options so that the patient can understand them and make their decision. I recently had a crown replaced and it was all down within two same-day sessions. The fit is perfect! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing dental work.

I only have great things to say about my experiences with Buck Family Dentistry and just when I thought it couldn’t get better, I started my Invisalign treatment. I’m one of those who thought, ”Oh I don’t need it but I want it!” Turns out… I needed it! My bite is so much better, the tooth that was out of place and causing pain is in place and not hurting. I have completely stopped clenching my jaw when I sleep, and my smile is exactly how I imagined it should look! All in all, one of the best investments in myself I have ever made!
