There are many people who cannot afford the luxury of staying at home while having their mouth prepared for permanent dentures in Binghamton NY. To accommodate those people who must return to work and need to maintain their appearance, the dentist can fit a set of dentures on the same day that the extractions are made. These same day dentures are only designed as a temporary measure and are fitted until the permanent denture is ready for fitting. Although having a set of temporary dentures can be an added cost, there are benefits for some people.
When a person first hears the term “same day” they can be a bit confused. The dentures are not actually made the same day as the extractions take place but they are fitted on the same day. Prior to the extractions, the dentist takes a series of impressions and measurements which he uses to design the temporary denture. Based on the information provided by the dentist, the dental laboratory makes the dentures. On the day of the extractions the denture is waiting and available for the patient.
Once the extractions have been made, the denture is placed into the patient’s mouth. Actually a temporary denture not only gives the patient teeth, it helps significantly in the reduction of bleeding and swelling. As the temp fits straight onto the jaw it helps to reduce the amount of jaw bone which is absorbed into the body. It is this absorption of bone that changes the patient’s appearance.
Same day dentures in Binghamton NY have a number of advantages, primary of course is the fact that there will be no socially awkward feelings associated with a mouth full of extractions. As well as this, the patient will be able to eat some food that they otherwise could not and the impact on their speech is not as great as it is when permanent dentures are the first to be fitted.
It does take some time of course for the permanent denture to be readied so as a patient, expect a number of return visits to the dentist for relining of the temp for comfort. As the jaw settles into its new profile the dentures will loosen and need lining to remain snug fitting. Once the healing and re-adjustment of the jaw has been completed, the permanent dentures are made or the temporary denture can be modified to suit long term.
