Tooth extraction tomorrow???

my husband is scheduled to get a full tooth extraction tomorrow. how long will he be without teeth? if they have not done any impressions can he get immediate dentures?

Tooth extraction tomorrow???
if they haven't taken impressions, he can't get immediate dentures, but they can take impressions tomorrow(before the extractions they only take a few minutes to do) and have them for him in a couple of weeks, good luck
Reply:I know someone who went and had all his upper teeth removed and came home the same day with new teeth in his mouth.
Reply:He needs to wait for the swelling to go down first, otherwise his dentures wont fit. He'll probably need some adjustments anyway.





If your dentist says it's ok, try giving him some warm ginger tea to swish around the next day - that will help it heal (not gingerale - that has sugar in it).
Reply:LISA,


W/O IMMEDIATE DENTURES IT'S A 30 DAY WAIT.
Reply:They took impressions of my teeth and did not pull them until my partial was ready to put in.





Good luck to your husband. Be ready to feed him a lot of soup because it will be a while before he can comfortably chew again.
