Same-day dentures in Pewaukee, WI

With immediate dentures, you typically need two dental impressions. In prosthodontics, the first impression is taken before your teeth are removed, and the second is taken right after extraction to capture the updated shape of the alveolar ridge. This two-step approach helps the dentures fit properly and feel comfortable right away.

Permanent dentures are custom-made to match the shape and size of your mouth, typically by a prosthodontist. They’re built from more durable materials—such as high-grade acrylic resin—than temporary dentures, which are meant to get you by while your permanent set is being made. Because they’re stronger, permanent dentures can often be made thinner and feel more natural than temporary ones, and they may also be paired with implant-supported dentures for added stability.

The number of teeth that can be removed in one day depends on several factors, including your medical history, the complexity of the extractions, and your pain tolerance. In most cases, a dentist or oral surgeon will remove no more than four teeth in a single visit to keep you comfortable and limit complications. If you’re preparing for dentures, a full mouth extraction is usually staged, with teeth removed over multiple appointments to allow proper healing and smoother tooth extraction recovery. Depending on your treatment plan, it can take a few months and several visits to remove all the teeth and follow a realistic dentures timeline.

Alternatives to immediate dentures include dental implants—tiny titanium posts placed surgically to replace missing teeth and support prosthetic teeth that look and function like the real thing. Depending on your needs, other tooth replacement options include partial dentures, dental bridges, or even temporary dentures to tide you over until a permanent solution is ready. For some patients, implant-supported dentures offer a stable, natural-feeling fit, and your dentist can help you decide which path in restorative dentistry makes the most sense for you.

Yes, you can eat with immediate dentures. It may take a little time to adjust, so start with soft foods and cut food into small pieces to avoid discomfort or dislodging; chew slowly on both sides for easier chewing with dentures. As you get used to them, gradually add firmer foods. If needed, a small amount of denture adhesive can improve stability, and a quick check-in with a prosthodontist can help with fit.
