Most patients wait 6 – 8 weeks between extractions and denture placement. This allows the gums to heal and ensures that your prosthetic provides a snug and comfortable fit. However, some patients opt for immediate dentures, which are prepared before extractions and placed immediately after. Although they will need to be adjusted or replaced relatively soon, many patients view them as a worthwhile investment because they can allow you to avoid being toothless.
Implant dentures have a different treatment timeline. Depending on the specifics of your procedure, you may get dentures on the same day as your extractions or several months afterward.
