- Immediate Dentures -

Immediate dentures, often called temporary dentures, provide an instant solution for patients who want to avoid the inconvenience of being without teeth after an extraction. Unlike conventional dentures, which are created after your gums have fully healed, immediate dentures are custom-molded before your teeth are removed. This ensures that the very same day your extractions take place, you walk out of Burba Dental Partners with a fully functional, natural-looking smile that protects your sensitive healing tissues and makes eating and speaking much more comfortable during recovery.

Fabricating these dentures ahead of time typically takes four to five preliminary visits to our Salem office to perfectly capture impressions and select your ideal tooth color and shape. Because your jawbone and gums naturally shrink and change shape as they heal, our team will provide routine checkups and necessary adjustments to maintain a secure, comfortable fit over time. For optimal healing, you will keep the dentures in your mouth for the first 24 to 48 hours; afterward, they should be removed nightly, brushed, and soaked in cold water to keep your new smile and your mouth healthy and pristine.
