    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    Immediate dentures are made before planned tooth extractions using records such as impressions. When appropriate, they are inserted at the extraction appointment to provide replacement teeth during healing.

    They are custom-made in advance, rather than a generic appliance selected afterward. Whether an immediate denture is suitable depends on the teeth, mouth, and proposed treatment.

    Gums and bone change during healing, so adjustments, relining, or a later replacement may be needed. The team explains how to wear and care for the denture during recovery.
