Front teeth missing after surgery
If that would be hard for you, raise it before the surgery is booked. The appliance needs records and lab time, and we can explain whether it suits your situation and how much of the look can be checked first.

Immediate Dentures in Mississauga
When a surgeon removes the teeth and a dentist makes the denture, the hand-off matters. For Mississauga adults, we coordinate immediate dentures so records, the fitting day and every healing review have a clear owner.
When more than one office is involvedCoordinate your extraction and denture
Two teams, one extraction day
It is common for extractions to be referred to an oral surgeon while the denture is designed elsewhere. An immediate denture adds a timing puzzle to that arrangement, since the appliance must exist before the surgery. It is built from records taken in advance and, where the mouth permits, seated at the extraction appointment to replace several teeth or a full arch.
After that day, the tissues keep changing. Sockets fill, ridges shrink and the denture that fit on surgery day gradually sits differently. Reviews, adjustments, relining or a new appliance later are all ordinary parts of care, and it is worth agreeing in advance who will provide each of them.
If you are coming from Mississauga, especially the western neighbourhoods, our Bronte Street practice can act as the point of contact for the denture side of your treatment. Tell us who your surgeon is, what support you have at home and any past experience with removable appliances, and we will work out the hand-offs with you.
Common sticking points
Where plans tend to come apart
Problems usually arise when expectations are unclear. Appearance, the diagnosis behind the extractions and how you will manage at home each need a conversation before the date is set.
A long list of teeth to remove
Ask for the reason behind each extraction and whether any teeth could be retained with other treatment. The denture should follow a diagnosis that has been explained to you, not the other way round.
Managing a denture while sore
Let us know about grip problems, a sensitive gag reflex or difficulty cleaning. Care routines need to be practical for you, since they begin while the surgical sites are still healing.
If your surgery has already been booked with another office, contact us before that appointment so the denture can be prepared in time and responsibilities can be confirmed.
What a coordinated plan gives you
Teeth at the surgery, and a clear route for questions afterward
For suitable patients, an immediate denture means leaving surgery with replacement teeth instead of starting the denture process once healing is done. Paired with good coordination, it can also mean knowing exactly whom to call when something feels wrong.
There are limits worth naming. Some aspects of fit and tooth arrangement cannot be checked fully while your teeth are still there, and the support changes as tissues heal. Ask how those gaps will be handled and which follow-up work is expected.

Agreed responsibilities
Confirm who fabricates the denture, who inserts it at surgery and where you go for checks. Writing this down avoids confusion if surgical and denture care are split between offices.
A practical briefing in advance
Go over food, speech, wear time and help at home before the surgery. You can think through each question calmly instead of in the first uncomfortable days.
Visible follow-up commitments
A review schedule makes clear that adjustments come with a healing mouth. Ask which visits, relines or replacement steps are part of the plan and the estimate.
How the hand-offs work
Each step, and who usually handles it
Details depend on the teeth involved and the appliance planned. Seeing preparation, surgery, the early check and later reassessment as one plan makes the roles easier to follow.
Assessment and referral questions
The dentist examines your mouth, explains why extractions are proposed and reviews alternatives against your goals. Health history and any surgical referral are discussed so nothing is missed.
Records and fabrication before surgery
Impressions or other records let the lab build the appliance in time. You talk about appearance, what cannot be previewed and how the denture will reach the surgical appointment.
Surgery and insertion
The treating team decides on the day whether the denture can be seated as planned. You leave with instructions for the surgical sites and appliance, the wearing schedule and contacts for both offices.
Reviews as the tissues remodel
Early and later visits check comfort, healing and the fit as support changes. You will hear whether adjustment, relining or a later denture is the right next step.
The first few days
Follow surgical and denture advice together.
Early instructions for an immediate denture can differ from an established routine. Keep the written sheets from each office and ask about removal, cleaning, medicines, meals and review times.
Confirm the wearing schedule
The surgeon or dentist may want the denture handled a specific way at first. Follow that plan rather than taking it out or wearing it overnight according to habits from an older appliance.
Clean and eat in stages
Ask how to look after the denture, any teeth you keep and the surgical sites as healing moves on. Stick to the food advice given; having teeth in place does not make every food safe to chew yet.
Report rubbing or loosening
Sore patches, trouble seating the denture or increasing movement should be reported. Do not file it, force it into place or apply home liners to tissue that is still healing.

Coordinating care across offices
These answers focus on planning, hand-offs and the changing fit while you heal. Personal instructions should come from the clinicians performing your surgery and making your appliance.
Can my oral surgeon place the denture you make?
That is often how shared care works, but it needs to be arranged ahead. We would confirm the surgery date, get the appliance ready in time and agree who checks the fit afterward.
Who handles a sore spot if the surgeon and dentist are at different offices?
Agree on this before treatment. Keep both contact numbers and describe your symptoms and recent care when you call, because the tissue and appliance may need to be reviewed together.
What records do you need before the extraction?
Usually impressions or similar records of your mouth, plus a discussion of tooth appearance and your medical history. The dentist will explain exactly what is needed once your mouth has been assessed.
Will I need sedation for the extractions?
Sedation decisions belong to the clinician performing the surgery, based on your health and the procedure. Ask them about options, and tell us what is planned so denture timing can be arranged.
Is the immediate denture the one I keep long term?
Not always. It may serve as an interim appliance, with further work or a new denture once healing is complete. Ask which later stages are expected and how timing and fees will be confirmed.
How many trips from Mississauga should I expect in the first months?
The number depends on your healing and the plan, but there is usually an early review and further checks later. Ask for the expected schedule up front so you can arrange time away from work.
