Same-day dentures in New Caney, TX

Immediate dentures typically require just one impression before tooth extraction. That impression is used to make an appliance that can be placed immediately after your teeth are removed—often called same-day dentures. Still, depending on how your gums heal, your prosthodontist may take additional impressions to fine-tune the fit and comfort or to plan denture relining.

Permanent dentures are usually thinner than temporary ones because they’re made from more advanced materials, such as acrylic resin, and they’re designed to fit your mouth much more precisely. Still, the exact thickness depends on your bite, bone structure, and the plan you and your prosthodontist decide on—including whether you choose implant-supported dentures. In short, the ideal thickness is customized to your case and comfort.

How long mouth soreness lasts can vary by person and by the type of dentures. Some people feel discomfort for a few days, while others need several weeks to get through the denture adjustment period. If you have sore gums from dentures or the pain lasts longer than a week, it’s best to check in with a dentist to discuss fit and denture pain relief.

Immediate dentures are often made a bit larger because they’re created before tooth extraction and need to accommodate the swelling and natural shrinkage of the gums during healing. This helps them fit properly once the gum tissue has fully healed and early gum resorption has stabilized, though denture relining may still be needed as your mouth changes.

Immediate dentures are usually full dentures placed the same day your teeth are extracted. They’re intended to be worn while your mouth heals and, as part of post-extraction care, may require adjustments or denture relining after several months, once your gums have fully recovered. A prosthodontist can guide you through the process and fine-tune the fit as your tissues change. More details about dentures can be found at Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC).
