Whether you had a cracked tooth that needed to come out or had one that was rotten and only getting worse, tooth removal is often the best course of action when it comes to repairing your oral health in the long run. However, you can't just walk around with a tooth missing, as that can be quite embarrassing and might make you avoid having your tooth removed altogether. Luckily, there is a way around this. Same-day dentures have been in place for a while now. Here is why they are a necessity after your tooth removal to make sure the transition is smooth.
Preventing Your Jaw From Degrading
One major reason same-day dentures are so useful is that they prevent your jaw and mouth from becoming weaker and more susceptible to inflammation in the intermediary period between the removal and permanent replacements being made. You can't go straight from a tooth removal into surgery for a tooth implant or even more traditional dentures because your mouth will be very sore and has to heal. Same-day dentures are more comfortable for your mouth without being as hard to keep in place, which makes them the perfect fit for the job.
Easier To Eat And Speak
While it may be embarrassing to walk around missing a tooth, it is even more embarrassing to learn that eating and talking with a missing tooth is much harder. Same-day dentures are fitted to your mouth before you even have your problem removed so that they will slip perfectly into place. Many people forget they aren't a natural tooth because of how snug the fit is, which is perfect because that allows you to talk without a lisp and eat food without worrying about spilling or spitting it out everywhere.
Release Pressure
If there is a big gap between two sections of teeth, it is not uncommon for them to start to lean improperly into said gap. Your teeth often have quite a bit of pressure keeping them in place and if one is removed this pressure has nowhere to go but into that space, leading to crooked teeth. Same-day dentures allow you to prevent this minor degradation from happening before you get your permanent prosthetic ready in a couple of weeks or months. The last thing you want is for your final dental implant or denture to not fit the space anymore because your teeth have all shifted.
