Temporary & Transitional Dentures in Raleigh NC

Maintain your smile and comfort while you heal.

Tooth loss is never easy — but at NewStart Denture + Implant Partners, we help make the transition smoother. Our temporary and transitional dentures are designed to preserve your smile, confidence, and oral function while your mouth heals or you prepare for a permanent solution.

What Are Temporary & Transitional Dentures?

Temporary (or immediate) dentures are placed right after tooth extractions so you never have to go without teeth. Transitional dentures are short-term appliances worn during the healing phase, giving your gums and bone time to stabilize before a long-term denture or implant is placed.

At NewStart, we use advanced digital tools to create temporary dentures that fit better, feel more comfortable, and look natural — even if they’re only worn for a short time.

When Are Transitional Dentures Needed?

You may benefit from temporary dentures if you:

• Are having multiple teeth extracted
• Want to avoid going toothless during healing
• Plan to receive permanent full or partial dentures later
• Are considering implant-supported dentures but need time to prepare
• Need emergency tooth replacement due to injury or infection

We’ll walk you through the timing and expectations, ensuring you're never left wondering what comes next.

Our Process for Temporary Dentures

1. Initial Consultation & Digital Scan
   We evaluate your current oral health and use 3D scanning for exact measurements — no messy impressions needed.
2. Design & Fabrication
   Using digital design and 3D printing or milling, we create your temporary denture for same-day or near-immediate placement.
3. Placement After Extractions
   Your temporary denture is placed the same day or shortly after tooth removal to protect the area and restore your appearance.
4. Healing Phase
   You'll wear the transitional denture while your mouth heals and your bone reshapes. This phase typically lasts a few months.
5. Next Step: Permanent Denture or Implant
   Once healing is complete, we fit you for a final prosthetic — whether that’s a digital full denture, partial denture, or implant-supported option.
