Losing teeth is hard enough without having to worry about going without a smile during recovery. At Dentist in Tyler - Dentures & Dental Implants, we offer same-day immediate dentures for qualifying patients — so you never have to leave our Tyler office without teeth. Here's exactly how the process works.
What Are Same-Day Dentures?
Same-day dentures — also called immediate dentures — are temporary dentures that are placed immediately after tooth extraction, on the same day. You come in with failing or damaged teeth, we remove them, and you leave with a full set of temporary dentures — all in one appointment at our Tyler office at 601 E Dodge St.
Who Qualifies for Same-Day Dentures in Tyler, TX?
Most patients who need multiple teeth removed are candidates for immediate same-day dentures. You may be a candidate if:
- You need multiple teeth extracted (partial or full arch)
- Your remaining teeth are too damaged to save
- You want to avoid going without teeth during the healing period
- Your gum and bone health are sufficient for immediate placement
Dr. Trinh Dinh, DDS evaluates each patient individually. Some complex cases — like severe infection or extensive bone loss — may require healing time before dentures can be fitted. We'll tell you honestly at your appointment.
The Same-Day Denture Process at Our Tyler Office
| Step | What Happens | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Consultation | X-rays, evaluation, impressions taken in advance | Before procedure day |
| 2. Extractions | Remaining teeth removed under local anesthesia | Day of procedure |
| 3. Immediate placement | Pre-made temporary dentures fitted same day | Same appointment |
| 4. Healing | Gums shrink and reshape over 4–6 months | Post-procedure |
| 5. Final dentures | Final dentures fitted once healing is complete | 4–6 months later |
What Does Same-Day Dentures Cost in Tyler, TX?
The cost of same-day dentures in Tyler depends on the number of teeth being extracted and the type of denture selected:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Tooth extraction (per tooth) | $150 – $400 |
| Economy immediate denture (per arch) | $800 – $1,200 |
| Standard immediate denture (per arch) | $1,200 – $1,800 |
| Premium immediate denture (per arch) | $1,800 – $2,500 |
| Final denture (after healing) | $1,000 – $2,500 |
Most PPO dental insurance plans cover a portion of both extractions and dentures. We verify your benefits before your appointment. CareCredit and 0% financing are also available.
Caring for Your Immediate Dentures
The first few weeks with immediate dentures require some adjustment:
- Wear them continuously for the first 24–48 hours (they act as a bandage)
- Eat soft foods for the first week — eggs, yogurt, soup, mashed potatoes
- Rinse with warm salt water after meals
- Return for adjustments as needed — we include follow-up care
- Expect some loosening as healing progresses — relines will be needed
Immediate Dentures vs. Waiting: Should You Wait?
Some dentists recommend waiting until gums are fully healed (3–6 months) before fitting dentures. The advantage: a more accurate fit from day one. The disadvantage: you're without teeth for months. At our Tyler office, we help you weigh both options. For most patients, same-day immediate dentures are the right choice — you maintain your appearance, your ability to eat and speak, and your confidence throughout the healing process.
