Q. All my teeth are going to be extracted in order to get a denture, but how long will it take to get the denture when moulds are taken? Will I just have to walk around with no teeth for this time or can I be offerred a short term replacement?

A. I recommend you discuss with your dentist an immediate denture. Molds are taken and the denture is made before your teeth are extracted, this way you do not go without teeth. After healing takes place the immediate denture can be modified to fit better or a new denture can be made.
