The denture that we give at the time of tooth extraction is called an immediate denture.

The basic advantage of an immediate denture is that you don't have to be without teeth for any length of time. It is a type of healing denture that helps you function and maintain your appearance until you get a permanent denture. It acts as a bandage on sore gum tissues and helps in healing. Also, the patient gets used to wearing dentures and will have no issue with replacement dentures.

A patient can get it after the complete healing of gum tissues. Before getting a permanent or replacement denture, they should wait at least 5–6 months after the removal of all teeth.

In general, a patient will need the following appointments to get a complete replacement denture:
Appointment 1: Identification and treatment planning for the creation of a complete denture
Appointment 2: Designing a mold of your gums (First impression)
Appointment 3: Reviewing the height of gums and supporting tissues with the help of wax.
Appointment 4: Assessing shape, shade, size and occlusion of teeth in wax (wax teeth try-in)
Appointment 5: If the patient is comfortable with the look of their teeth and occlusion (bite), then delivery of a full denture
Appointment 6: Review and deliver needed changes during future visits.
The above appointments may vary in other cases, as many dentures are created in 3-4 steps.

It can take up to 2-4 weeks, depending on many aspects such as lab processing, accessibility of the dentist and the patient, changes or reviews needed and complications in the case.
