Immediate replacement teeth, also known as same-day teeth, are a type of dental prosthesis that can be placed immediately after a tooth extraction. These teeth are typically made of acrylic or porcelain and are designed to look and function like natural teeth.
Immediate replacement teeth offer several benefits over traditional dentures, which are typically made of acrylic and metal and are placed several weeks or months after a tooth extraction. First, immediate replacement teeth can help to preserve the jawbone, which can begin to deteriorate after a tooth is lost. Second, they can help to prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of place. Third, they can improve a person's smile and self-confidence.
