Immediate Dentures in Northwest Calgary

Immediate dentures Calgary patients may consider are recommended when they are in the process of undergoing dental extractions. Before the extraction, we will take an impression and measurements of your teeth and gums. Once this has been completed, we will work with you on the desired colour, shape, and appearance of your new dentures. We work with your dentist to ensure your dentures are ready before your extraction takes place. This way, after your dental extractions, you can leave the office with a full set of teeth, allowing you to transition into dentures after tooth extraction without the stress of a toothless smile.


For patients considering same day dentures Calgary, immediate dentures are prepared before the extraction appointment so they can be placed after the teeth are removed. These temporary dentures after extraction can help you maintain your smile while your gums and oral tissues heal.


Recovery from dental extractions will take a few months to allow the gums to heal properly. During this time your gums will shrink. So, if you notice your immediate dentures NW Calgary are not quite fitting like they used to, please contact our clinic because you will need to have them relined in order to fit comfortably again.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are immediate dentures?

    Immediate dentures are dentures prepared before planned tooth extractions so they can be placed after the teeth are removed. Before your extraction appointment, impressions and measurements are taken and details such as tooth colour, shape, and appearance are discussed. Stuart Denture Clinic coordinates with your dentist so your dentures can be prepared for your planned extraction.

  • Can I get dentures immediately after my teeth are extracted?

    Immediate dentures are specifically designed to be available around the time of planned dental extractions. Because the dentures are prepared in advance, they can generally be placed after the teeth are removed rather than waiting for the gums to completely heal before receiving dentures. Your dentist and denturist will coordinate the process based on your individual treatment plan.

  • Why do immediate dentures become loose after tooth extractions?

    Your gums and supporting tissues change as your mouth heals following dental extractions. During the first several months, these changes can cause immediate dentures that initially fit well to gradually become loose or less comfortable. This is a normal part of the healing process, and your dentures may need to be assessed and relined as your mouth changes.

  • Do immediate dentures need to be relined?

    Immediate dentures commonly require relining because the gums and underlying tissues change considerably while healing after tooth extractions. A reline modifies the fitting surface of the denture so that it conforms more closely to the current shape of your gums. If your immediate dentures begin slipping, moving, or becoming uncomfortable, contact our Calgary denture clinic for an assessment.

  • How long will I wear immediate dentures after an extraction?

    How long you wear your immediate dentures depends on your healing process and individual denture needs. Healing after dental extractions can take several months, during which the shape of your gums may continue to change. Your denturist can monitor the fit of your dentures and determine when relining, adjustments, or another denture option should be considered.
