Transitional Dentures in Abbotsford
Temporary Denture Treatment Used During Healing
What Are Transitional Dentures
Temporary Tooth Replacement Used During Treatment Changes
Transitional dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth while the gums and bone are healing or when additional extractions are expected over time. They are especially helpful when the mouth is going through multiple treatment stages or when immediate full denture treatment is not yet appropriate.
These dentures are designed to adapt as the mouth changes. They can be modified as teeth are removed or as the gums shrink during healing. This flexibility makes them an ideal temporary option during multi stage treatment plans.
New Option for Complete and Partial Denture Patients:
Printed transitional dentures are now available for patients who need extractions. They are made before the extractions, worn throughout the healing period and replaced entirely once healing is complete. This ensures greater comfort, continuity and accuracy before the final denture is created.
Benefits of Transitional Dentures
Provide Support, Appearance and Flexibility
Maintain Appearance During Treatment
Transitional dentures help you avoid visible gaps while your mouth heals or teeth are being removed.
Adapt to Ongoing Changes
They can be adjusted or modified as gums shrink or additional extractions occur.
Support Facial Structure
They help maintain lip and cheek support, preventing sudden changes in facial appearance.
Assist With Basic Function
Transitional dentures allow patients to speak, smile and chew with more comfort while waiting for their long term denture or implant treatment.
Who Needs Transitional Dentures
Patients Undergoing Healing or Multi Stage Treatment
Transitional dentures are ideal for patients who are gradually losing teeth, recovering from extractions or preparing for a final denture or implant supported treatment. They are suitable for individuals who want to maintain appearance and function throughout a multi step process.
They are especially beneficial for patients who need time for healing before a final denture is made. With the new printed transitional denture option, patients can begin with a denture made before extractions, wear it during healing and then transition seamlessly to a full replacement once the gums and bone have stabilized.
