You will have a choice of either conventional or immediate dentures. As the name suggests, immediate dentures are placed right after any necessary extractions. You won’t have to worry about being without teeth during the healing process. The dentist will place conventional dentures after the gum tissue has healed, which can take a month or more, depending on the patient.
