Dental Faith offers conventional and immediate dentures. Dr. Fedler will examine your mouth and explain which option may be appropriate based on your remaining teeth, gum health, bite, and treatment needs.
In some cases, a dental bridge or implant-supported option may also be considered. Dental Faith can coordinate implant care with a trusted provider when needed.
Full dentures, or “false teeth,” are used to replace all upper or lower teeth, providing support for cheeks and lips while improving speech and eating abilities. The types of dentures we offer are conventional and immediate. Immediate dentures are made before teeth are removed, placed on the day of surgery, and used until the tissue heals completely (8-12 weeks). A conventional denture is made and placed when the gum tissue is healed, typically ready for placement about 8-12 weeks after tooth removal. Regular oral cancer screening is essential for long-term oral health, and following proper removal instructions ensures the longevity of dentures. In some cases, a bridge may be a viable alternative for patients missing only a few teeth.
Immediate Dentures – Immediate dentures are prepared before the remaining teeth are removed and placed soon after extraction. Because the gums and bone change during healing, adjustments, relining, or a replacement denture may be needed.
Conventional Dentures – Conventional dentures are made after the teeth have been removed and the tissues have had time to heal. The timeline varies from patient to patient.
