Dentures With a Pink Gumline and White Teeth Reflected — Dentures Direct Ballina In Ballina, NSW

Immediate Solutions for Post-Extraction Care

At Dentures Direct Ballina, we provide immediate dentures for patients who require tooth extractions and want to avoid being without teeth during the healing period. Immediate dentures are custom-made prosthetic devices designed and prepared before the extraction procedure, allowing them to be fitted on the same day as the removal of natural teeth. This approach helps maintain facial structure, supports clear speech and allows patients to eat more comfortably while their gums heal.


Each set of immediate dentures is carefully measured and fabricated by a qualified Dental Prosthetist with an Advanced Diploma of Dental Prosthetics, ensuring precision, stability and attention to comfort. Once healing is complete, adjustments or relines are performed to ensure a continued secure fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are immediate dentures?

    Immediate dentures are temporary dental prosthetics placed immediately after the extraction of natural teeth. They allow patients to maintain their appearance, speech, and ability to eat during the healing process. These dentures are custom-made before the extraction appointment using detailed impressions and measurements of the mouth. Once the gums have healed, adjustments or relines are typically required to ensure continued comfort and stability.

  • How long do immediate dentures last?

    Immediate dentures are designed as a temporary solution during the healing period after extractions. The duration of use varies but often lasts a few months until the mouth has fully stabilised. As gums and bone naturally change shape during healing, the fit of immediate dentures may loosen over time. Once healing is complete, most patients are fitted with new, permanent dentures for long-term use. Regular reviews help ensure proper fit and comfort throughout the process.

  • How should immediate dentures be cared for?

    Immediate dentures should be removed and cleaned daily using a soft brush and a non-abrasive cleaner to remove food particles and bacteria. It’s also important to rinse the mouth gently with warm salt water to maintain gum health during healing. When not in use, dentures should be stored in clean water or a soaking solution to prevent them from drying out. Regular check-ups allow a dental professional to monitor healing and make necessary adjustments.

  • Are immediate dentures uncomfortable?

    It’s normal to experience mild pressure or tightness when first wearing immediate dentures, as the mouth is still healing after extractions. Discomfort usually decreases as swelling subsides and tissues adjust to the new appliance. Temporary adjustments may be required to relieve sore spots or improve stability. With proper professional care and follow-up appointments, most patients find that immediate dentures become more comfortable as healing progresses.

Support During the Transition

We understand that transitioning to dentures can feel like a significant change, which is why our immediate dentures are designed to support both comfort and confidence from day one. By fitting dentures directly after extraction, patients can maintain normal appearance and oral function during recovery. The prosthesis is also designed to protect the underlying tissues while healing takes place, helping to reduce irritation and promote better adaptation.


As the gums and bone gradually reshape following extraction, adjustments and relines are carried out to maintain proper fit and function. This staged approach provides a smooth transition to long-term dentures with professional oversight at every stage. Our goal is to make the process as comfortable and informed as possible, giving patients confidence throughout their recovery.
