A Better Choice for Temporary/Immediate Dentures

Welcome! We’re your new partner for Temporary/Immediate Dentures. We work with all kinds of dental professionals, including dentists, dental hospitals, clinics, and labs. Our goal is simple: to help you give patients a new smile on the same day their teeth are removed.

Immediate dentures are a game-changing method in dental care. They give patients a smooth switch from having teeth to not having them, without any waiting period. Unlike regular dentures that require a waiting time without teeth, immediate dentures are put in right after teeth are taken out. The main goal is to quickly bring back a patient’s looks, speech, and ability to chew, while also meeting important health needs.

Immediate dentures are typically used when all the teeth in a jaw need to be removed because of serious gum disease, large cavities, or teeth that can’t be fixed. They are especially helpful when patients want their smile and chewing ability back right away, like when front teeth are lost. They’re also great for people who feel anxious about being without teeth due to social or work reasons.

Immediate dentures have many clear benefits compared to the old way of doing things. They get rid of the often upsetting time of being without teeth by instantly restoring a person’s appearance, speech, and chewing. On top of that, they act like a protective bandage (a surgical splint). This helps control bleeding, guards the sensitive areas where teeth were removed, and greatly lessens swelling and pain after surgery. Also, immediate dentures are very important for keeping the shape of the face and jaw height, which reduces the sagging of skin and muscles that usually happens as you heal.

Immediate dentures are especially good for younger and middle-aged adults who care a lot about how they look, have jobs where they interact with the public, or feel very anxious about losing their teeth. From a health standpoint, patients with bleeding problems or those taking blood thinners can really benefit from the bandage-like effect, which helps stop bleeding after teeth are removed. Patients with weaker immune systems can also benefit from the denture acting as a shield against infection.

We get what you need. You work with specialists like a Prosthodontist, an Oral surgeon, and a Denturist. You need a service you can count on so you can focus on your patients. We offer top-quality Temporary/Immediate Dentures to make your job simpler. Our whole process is based on talking clearly with you.

Why Partner With Us for Temporary/Immediate Dentures?

Handling same-day dentures can be tricky. You need a quick and dependable partner. We fix the biggest challenges you run into.

• Quick Service at a Good Price: We use modern tools like CAD/CAM technology and 3D printing. This lets us make standard and custom dentures very fast. Digital methods, including 3D printing and milling, greatly cut down on work time and wasted materials (by 30-50%) compared to older ways. This is especially helpful for immediate dentures, which usually need to be made quickly.
• Happy Patients: A great fit right away means less trouble later. Patients look better and feel more confident.
• Full Support: We’re more than just a lab; we’re your partner. We’ll help you with every step, from the first patient visit to the final denture reline.

We believe in making things clear. Some information is technical, but we explain it in a simple way.

Our Step-by-Step Process

We have a simple plan for every case. We break down the steps to make it easy for you.

• Step 1: Planning the Treatment: First, we team up with you. You send us the patient’s first molds (preliminary impressions). We can also use a CT scan or panoramic X-ray. We help plan for procedures like a full mouth extraction or alveoloplasty.
• Step 2: Making the Denture: Our dental lab gets started right away. An expert technician uses top materials, like acrylic resin and porcelain teeth, to make a perfect upper or lower denture. We pay close attention to every detail, from the tooth color to the post-dam.
  How well immediate dentures work and how long they last are directly tied to the materials we use and how we make them. At Istar Dental Lab, we use many different materials and modern making techniques to meet the different needs of our partners.

Types of Materials and What They Do

The main materials for immediate dentures are in two groups:

• Photopolymerizable Resins: These are special resins, mostly methacrylate-based, used for 3D printing. They work great with digital systems and are quickly becoming the top choice for making denture bases with 3D printers.
• Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA): This is still the best-known material. We use PMMA discs for milling, and heat-cured PMMA is the classic material used in the traditional, non-digital way.

• Modern Ways of Making Dentures
  • Traditional Lab Method: This uses the old flask-and-pack way for heat-cured PMMA. It takes a lot of work and wastes more material.
  • Digital Making Methods:
    • 3D Printing (Additive Manufacturing): This is quickly becoming the main way to make immediate dentures. It has big benefits in speed, cost, and using materials wisely. 3D printing lets us make dentures whenever they’re needed and remake them easily, although the resin for each denture can cost more than buying PMMA powder in bulk.
    • Milling (Subtractive Manufacturing): This method carves the denture out of a solid block of PMMA. It’s great for accuracy and strong materials, but it can waste more material than 3D printing.
• At Istar Dental Lab, we are always checking and using these new materials and technologies. This helps us give our partners immediate denture solutions that are strong, safe for the body, and look great.
• Step 3: Same-Day Service: We bring the Temporary/Immediate Dentures to your office on the day of the surgery. The patient can leave with a new smile. This is a great service you can offer.
• Step 4: Follow-Up Support: Our work isn’t done yet. We help you with care after the surgery. We give you guides to help teach your patients. We’re also ready to help with a hard reline or a soft liner whenever it’s needed.

We help you and your patient connect the dots for a great outcome.
