Is it necessary to wear dentures after tooth extraction?

It is very common to lose teeth when you are old. Some people do not get dentures after tooth extraction, especially some young people who think that getting dentures will make people laugh. In fact, if you do not get dentures as soon as possible after tooth extraction, it is not good for your health. It may even easily lead to deformation and absorption of the alveolar bone, and the gums will become particularly low. It will also increase the difficulty of installing dentures in the future. There are also some hazards if you do not get dentures after tooth extraction.

Because the teeth of middle-aged and elderly people are usually not very healthy, it is normal to have some dental diseases. The original hardness of the teeth is also affected with age. For some teeth that cannot be repaired, doctors often recommend extracting them and replacing them with dentures.

Normally, the degree of tooth damage in middle-aged and elderly people is relatively large. Usually, more than one or two teeth need to be repaired or replaced, and often a whole row of teeth needs to be replaced. This is also considered based on the patient's actual situation. The original teeth can no longer perform their functions, so they need to be replaced, which is what we usually call dentures.

In order to restore the integrity of the dentition after tooth extraction, restoration is required. Restoration can be carried out at different times according to the customer's requirements and specific conditions. The alveolar bone is absorbed rapidly in the first 2 to 3 months after tooth extraction, and the absorption is basically stable after three months (i.e. the wound is completely healed 2 to 3 months after tooth extraction), which is conducive to tooth replacement.

1. Immediate restoration: Take a model before extraction, and the extracted tooth can be trimmed on the model to make a denture. Wearing dentures immediately after tooth extraction will have poor retention effect due to the poor fit at the extraction site.

2. For the first-stage surgery of implant dentures, the alveolar bone in the extraction wound must heal completely 4-6 months after the tooth extraction. Other local and systemic conditions must also meet the requirements of implant dentures. Subsequent surgeries also require corresponding time and conditions.

3. Permanent restoration: Generally, the restoration is performed after the patient's alveolar process grows flat, about 3 months after tooth extraction. At this time, the alveolar process is long and flat, and there will be little change afterwards. Full dentures are also the last tooth extraction about 3 months ago. The prerequisite is that other conditions in the mouth meet the requirements for full dentures.

Here I would like to tell many friends that they must install dentures on time after tooth extraction, because if dentures are not installed in time, it will be very inconvenient to eat. Some friends even have their gums become very low because of not installing dentures in time, which increases the difficulty of installing dentures for many dentists because there are almost no conditions for installing dentures.
