​If you’ve suffered severe tooth decay, injury, or gum disease and need your remaining teeth replaced, an immediate denture can help relieve you of some concerns you may have after the extraction process is complete. An immediate denture, as its name implies, is a denture that is placed in your mouth immediately after your teeth are removed. It makes the transition to dentures less noticeable and also ​allows you to keep performing everyday functions, like chewing and speaking. First, Dr. Salam will take an accurate impression of the upper and lower arches of your mouth and establish a bite that best resembles your original bite. Dr. Salam will also help you select the shape and color of the denture teeth and gums. This impression is then sent to the dental laboratory.
