Questions	Answers
How long after I have my teeth removed until I can get my denture?	Immediate Denture:  An immediate denture is a denture that is manufactured and placed in your mouth the same day you have your teeth removed.  A consultation is required a day or two prior to this procedure.  At this consultation, your dental provider will determine whether you are a candidate for an immediate denture.  Some patients will need to have some of their teeth removed early and have 6 - 8 weeks of healing time.  Then they will come back and have the remainder of their teeth pulled and the denture inserted that same day.
Can I get an Immediate Denture in one day?	A consultation appointment is required the day prior to having an immediate denture manufactured.
What is the benefit of waiting 6-8 weeks before getting your new denture after getting your teeth pulled?	Healing time of 6 - 8 weeks allows for any swelling that may occur with your extractions to go down.  Less swelling means that you will have a better fit on your dentures.
Do the prices of your dentures include tooth extractions?	Extractions are not included in the prices quoted for dentures.  A consultation with your dental provider will tell you if your extractions can be performed at our office.
Are there any special requirements when a person gets a partial denture?	Because a partial denture hooks to your natural teeth, a dental hygiene cleaning is required within 6 months of having the partial made.  If it has been longer than 6 months since your last cleaning, you may schedule a cleaning with our Dental Hygienist the same day as your appointment.
What is the maximum number of teeth that can be pulled in one day for an immediate denture?	That question can only be answered by your dental provider.  Some extractions may be more difficult than others and may require a visit to an oral surgeon.
Do I have to have an appointment, or can I just walk in?	Dental Center requires an appointment to see a dental provider.  Walk-in patients disrupt the schedule and make all the appointments for that day run late.
Do you accept dental insurance as payment for services?	No.  Dental Center is a fee for service operation.  Payment is expected at the time the service is rendered.  For a small fee, we will help you fill out your insurance forms.  We do provide you, at no charge, the documentation you need to file your own insurance.
