A Short Guide to
Different Types of Dentures
The Process for Getting
Immediate Dentures
After Dr. Mencini extracts your teeth, the denture is inserted in your mouth with a special material inside the denture base.
During the first six months, she recommends being fitted with a soft liner, which cushions the denture while your gums heal.
After healing is complete, a final fitting or reline of your same-day denture is performed to ensure a secure fit.

The Pros and Cons of
Same-Day Dentures
The biggest advantage of immediate dentures in Mesa, AZ is that you won’t have to cope another day with the downsides of tooth loss. It’s also easier to replicate natural teeth’ shape, color, and alignment prior to extraction. Research shows that an immediate denture helps to preserve facial appearance, height, muscular tone, and speech while reducing post-extraction pain.
Placement of a same-day denture also provides immediate improvement in your ability to eat and minimizes facial distortion that can occur after teeth are extracted. If you choose immediate dentures as a temporary solution, there is the added cost of paying for two sets of dentures and undergoing frequent adjustments while your gums heal.
