Single-Day Denture
Restore your smile quickly with custom-fitted dentures designed to improve comfort, support natural-looking teeth, and help you eat and speak with confidence.
Restore your smile quickly with custom-fitted dentures designed to improve comfort, support natural-looking teeth, and help you eat and speak with confidence.
A single-day denture — also called an immediate or same-day denture — is made in advance, then fitted on the day your remaining teeth are removed. You leave the clinic with natural-looking teeth in place, instead of waiting weeks or months with gaps while your gums heal.
A single-day denture is often suggested if:
Teeth too damaged, loose or infected to keep, and ready to be removed.
Replace a full arch of teeth quickly, comfortably and naturally.
Avoid going without teeth at work, at events or in front of family.
The denture gently covers the areas where teeth were removed while they heal.
Shape, shade and fit are chosen in advance, so there are fewer surprises on the day.
It can serve as a comfortable first set while you plan longer-term options.
Teeth are about so much more than looks. They are conversations, meals and the moments you share.
Confidence
A natural-looking smile that stays with you from the very first day.
Family time
Photos, parties and everyday moments.
Meeting people
Feel at ease in every conversation.
Conversation
Well-fitted teeth help you speak clearly and enjoy time with friends.
Because your denture is made beforehand, the appointment itself is calm and unhurried. Here is how the day unfolds.
You are welcomed, talked through the plan and made comfortable.
Any remaining teeth are carefully removed under local anaesthesia, as planned.
Your ready-made denture is placed, and checked for fit, bite and appearance.
You leave with teeth, clear care instructions and a review visit booked.

Here is how a single-day denture compares with waiting for a traditional denture, with the trade-offs.
| Single-day dentureFitted on the day | Traditional denture | |
|---|---|---|
| Teeth on the day teeth are removed | Yes — you leave with teeth | No — wait while gums heal |
| Time without teeth | None | Several weeks to months |
| Appearance & speech while healing | Maintained from day one | Affected while you wait |
| Adjustments as gums heal | More relines & adjustments | Fewer — made on healed gums |
| Final fit | Improves after healing | Made once gums have settled |
Immediate dentures are often a first set — a final denture or implant-supported option can follow once healing is complete.
A little patience in the first weeks makes all the difference.
Eating and speaking feel different at first. With patience and a few simple habits, most people adapt over the following weeks.
Begin with soft foods and add more textures as you feel comfortable.
Reading aloud helps your tongue and lips adjust to the new teeth.
Use the cleaning routine we show you, and keep your gums clean too.
Early review visits make sure the fit stays comfortable as you heal.
Small adjustments are a normal part of the first weeks. Please don’t struggle on.
Once healing is complete, we can discuss a final denture or implant-supported options.
One day to leave with teeth — then a short, guided path to a lasting result.
We examine your mouth, take scans or impressions, and choose the shape and shade of your teeth.
Remaining teeth are gently removed if needed, and your denture is fitted, checked and adjusted.
A review visit soon after, then adjustments as your gums heal and settle.
A reline, a new final denture, or implant-supported teeth, once healing is complete.
Good to know: as gums heal they change shape, so an immediate denture will need adjustments or a reline. Your dentist will guide the timing of each step.
Losing teeth is hard enough. Leaving the clinic with a smile you are happy to show makes it much easier.
Leave the same day you have teeth removed.
Shape and shade chosen to suit your face.
Made before the day, so it is smooth and predictable.
Gently covers the areas where teeth were removed.
Checked and adjusted before you go home.
A first step towards a lasting final solution.
Digital scans and smile design in a calm, comfortable clinic.
Experienced dentists who explain every option honestly.
Strict sterilisation and infection-control protocols at every visit.
A plan built around your goals, budget and schedule.

It is a denture, also called an immediate denture, that is made in advance and fitted on the same day your remaining teeth are removed — so you never have to go without teeth.
In suitable cases, yes. We take impressions or scans beforehand and prepare your denture ahead of time, so it can be fitted straight after your teeth are removed.
Your mouth is numbed with local anaesthesia, so you should feel comfortable throughout. Some soreness afterwards is normal after tooth removal, and your dentist will advise you on managing it.
It is fitted carefully on the day, but your gums and bone change shape as they heal, so adjustments and relines are a normal part of the process. A permanent denture or other long-term solution can follow once healing is complete.
Start with soft foods and add more variety as you feel comfortable. Most people build up gradually over the first few weeks, following their dentist’s advice.
Not always. We assess your teeth, gums and overall health first. In some cases, healing first or a different option may suit you better, and we will tell you honestly.
Book a consultation to find out whether a single-day denture suits you. We will examine your mouth, explain every step and give you a clear plan and estimate, with no pressure to start.
