\"HandIf you have several damaged or missing teeth, your dentist may recommend having them extracted and replaced with dentures. This can be the most cost-effective option, but you won’t be able to get a new set of teeth right away. Instead, you’re going to have to wait until after your mouth has healed before getting dentures<\/a>. Here’s how long you can expect it to take after having your teeth removed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

Recovering from Tooth Extractions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone heals at a different rate, and many factors affect the recovery process, like the number of teeth removed and the type of extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recovering from a simple extraction can take 7 to 10 days; however, it can take up to 2 weeks to heal from a surgical extraction. Many dental professionals recommend a 6-8 week recovery period before getting dentures, which can be a long time to go without any teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Soon Can You Get Dentures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone’s timeline looks different. Your dentist will explain exactly what you can expect on the road ahead and help you choose the best type of dentures to rebuild your smile. Depending on your treatment plan, here’s how long it can to take before getting dentures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediate Dentures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Immediate dentures are placed the same day as your extractions, which are worn while your mouth heals. Removing them too soon can cause healing delays, so it’s important to follow your dentist’s instructions. You\u2019ll require adjustments after sufficient healing has occurred to ensure a snug, comfortable fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permanent Dentures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It can take up to 6 months for your gums and jaw to heal fully before getting permanent dentures. You\u2019ll need to wear your temporary dentures for the duration of your recovery. It\u2019s not uncommon to need adjustments along the way as your gums will change shape over time. You’ll need to visit your dentist regularly throughout the lifespan of your dentures <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implant Dentures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

4 to 10 dental implants can be placed into your jawbone to support your denture. You\u2019ll be required to wait at least 10 weeks after tooth extractions before undergoing your placement surgery. However, your dentist may recommend a longer recovery period if you need additional procedures, like bone grafting. Although the process may take longer than other methods, your new smile can last for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although you might have to wait a little while to complete your smile, it’s time well spent to ensure the best results. Your dentist will explain what you can do to speed up your recovery, so you can enjoy a complete, beautiful smile sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
