Immediate Dentures
Replace teeth on the same day they are removed with immediate dentures designed to support your smile during the healing process.
Denture Care After Tooth Extraction
SWhen several teeth need to be removed, many patients do not want to go without teeth while their mouth heals. Immediate dentures are made before extractions and placed after the teeth are removed, helping restore appearance and basic function right away.
At Shoop Dentistry, immediate dentures are planned carefully so patients understand what to expect before, during, and after treatment. Dr. Shoop explains the process clearly and helps guide you through the healing and adjustment period.

What Are Immediate Dentures?
Immediate dentures are removable dentures placed the same day teeth are extracted. They are made in advance so they can be inserted after the extraction appointment.

Immediate Denture Services We Offer
We provide immediate denture planning for patients who need teeth removed and want a same-day replacement option. Each case is based on the number of teeth being removed, gum health, bone shape, bite, and future treatment goals.
Dr. Shoop will explain how immediate dentures work, what limitations to expect, and why follow-up visits are important. The healing process plays a major role in how the denture fits over time.
Immediate full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch after extractions. They are placed the same day teeth are removed so the patient does not have to go without teeth during the early healing period
Immediate partial dentures may be used when some teeth are removed but other natural teeth remain. They help fill missing spaces while supporting appearance and function.
As the gums heal, immediate dentures may become loose or uncomfortable. Follow-up adjustments and relines help improve fit as the mouth changes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Immediate Dentures
Are immediate dentures permanent?
Immediate dentures can be temporary or transitional. Because the mouth changes during healing, many patients need adjustments, relines, or a new denture later.
Will immediate dentures fit perfectly right away?
Immediate dentures are made before the teeth are removed, so fit changes are expected as healing occurs. Follow-up visits help improve comfort and function.
Can I eat normally with immediate dentures?
Eating with immediate dentures takes time and practice. Soft foods are usually recommended at first while your mouth heals and you adjust to the denture.
Is Shoop Dentistry privately owned?
Yes. Shoop Dentistry is independently owned and operated by Dr. Shoop.
