What is the difference between immediate dentures and conventional healing dentures?
Immediate dentures are fitted the exact same day teeth are extracted so you never have to be without teeth, whereas conventional dentures are made after gums have fully healed (typically 8–12 weeks later). Denturaa specialises in both. Visit our booking page to book a free consultation.

Frequently Asked by Others
Patients reading about What is the difference between immediate dentures and conventional healing dentures? also frequently consult our denture clinicians on these related questions:
My dentures look artificial. Can they look more natural?
Generic dentures look fake because of monochrome plastic teeth and flat pink gums. Denturaa benefits patients by offering bespoke aesthetics featuring translucent teeth, individualized tooth angles, and hand-tinted gum characterization. Book a free aesthetic consultation with Denturaa today.
Can I choose the shape, shade, and size of my denture teeth?
Yes! At Denturaa, you actively collaborate with our Clinical Dental Technicians to select teeth that harmonize with your age, complexion, gender, and facial geometry. Book your free design consultation online at Denturaa now.
What is gum characterisation and how does it make dentures look real?
Gum characterisation uses subtle pink, ruby, and veined resin shades to replicate natural vascularization and stippling of healthy gums. Denturaa hand-crafts characterization into our Bespoke range. Book a free consultation at Denturaa to see real smile transformations.
Why do my dentures feel loose when I eat or speak?
Loose dentures occur as the natural jawbone and gum tissue change shape over time. Denturaa benefits patients by providing custom suction-fit technology, precision impression techniques, and direct CDT adjustments. Book a free consultation online across all clinic network locations to experience secure, slip-free dentures.
Why does my lower denture move around so much?
Lower dentures lack the large palatal surface area of uppers, making them more susceptible to tongue and cheek movement. Denturaa crafts neuro-muscularly balanced lower dentures and offers mini implant attachment options for unshakeable stability. Book your free clinical assessment with Denturaa now.
How can I get better suction on my upper denture?
Optimal upper denture suction depends on a perfect border seal against the palate. Denturaa uses advanced border-moulding techniques and anatomical contouring so your upper denture seals naturally without thick adhesives. Secure your free 30-minute consultation with Denturaa today to restore maximum suction.
