Immediate dentures are prosthetic devices inserted right after the removal of remaining teeth. Crafted beforehand, they are placed immediately post-extraction. Typically composed of acrylic, these dentures can substitute one or multiple missing teeth. They serve as temporary support and stability during the healing process of the gums.
Immediate dentures are a good choice for those who need to replace their teeth quickly, such as those who need to attend a special event or simply don’t want to be seen without teeth.
Digital dentures are a type of denture that uses digital technology to create a precise fit. These dentures are created using a digital impression system, which takes a 3D scan of the client’s mouth and uses computer-aided design (CAD) software to design the dentures.
The dentures are either 3D printed or milled out of strong, durable materials. Digital dentures provide a more comfortable fit than traditional dentures and can last up to five years with proper care. Digital dentures can easily replicated without any additional appointments should they become lost.
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances that are used to replace missing teeth. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, which is connected by metal framework that hold the denture in place in the mouth. Partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw. They are made to closely match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth so that they blend in with your smile. Partial dentures are usually made of acrylic, a type of plastic, and are often held in place by metal clasps that attach to your natural teeth.

There are two main types of dentures, and they’re the following:
You need to review the following factors before deciding which is the best option for you:
Here are the things you can expect while wearing dentures the first time:
You can reintroduce solid foods once your mouth starts to get comfortable with your dentures. Typically, it may take 3–4 weeks before it’s safe to eat solid or harder foods after getting dentures. But ensure to start slowly with bite-sized pieces and easy-to-chew foods.
You may feel pain wearing temporary dentures after having your teeth extracted. But painkillers will help alleviate the pain and make you feel comfortable during the early stages of the healing period.
Avoid making adjustments to your dentures on your own. Adjusting your dentures at home can cause false teeth to break. If you’re dealing with any issues with your dentures, have them adjusted by your dentist.

No need to go anywhere else in the city for dental work. You won't find a friendlier receptionist like Sandy and a more experienced crew of professionals. Mack was so professional and kind, he aleviated my concerns immediately. The work I needed done was finished in record time. I will always go to Kosters in the future.
