Do permanent dentures fit better than immediate dentures?
Immediate dentures will give you the convenience of not being without anterior teeth throughout the denture fabrication process. The remaining anterior teeth are extracted on the day of final denture delivery. After approximately 6 months of healing, the denture usually requires a denture reline due to the shrinking of the gums following the healing from the extractions. At this time the Immediate denture will fit as well as a permanent denture. READ MORE
