Plastic (acrylic).
Metal (chrome-cobalt).
Flexible called valplast.

Immediate Denture

Immediate denture could be either a partial or a complete denture. It means that the denture is ready to fit in the mouth soon after extraction of the teeth. To construct an immediate denture an impression of the teeth and supporting structure is taken and the denture is made out of the impression. There are certain advantages with immediate dentures:

You never have to appear in public without any teeth. This is very important especially for those working in public services.

It is easier to get used to an immediate denture and it enables easier establishment of your speech pattern.

It can replicate your natural teeth more closely as the denture is constructed before removing the teeth.

It protects the extraction site from food getting in and helps to reduce bleeding. As the teeth tend to move towards space an immediate denture will prevent the remaining teeth from drifting towards the space There are also certain disadvantages with immediate dentures:

As healing takes place there will be changes in the bone and gum, which may result in the denture not fitting well.

Because of changes in the mouth the denture may need to be relined or refitted by the dentist and will involve an extra cost towards the denture As the immediate denture is constructed before the teeth are removed, it may not fit accurately as a denture made after healing takes place.
