At Flathead Denture, we offer immediate dentures — also referred to as healing or surgical dentures — for patients who want to avoid leaving the dental office without teeth after extractions. Designed to be placed the same day your natural teeth are removed, immediate dentures provide an instant smile, protect healing tissues, and support your confidence during recovery.
We proudly serve patients across Kalispell, Columbia Falls, Whitefish, and the entire Flathead Valley, providing natural-looking denture solutions tailored to your comfort, appearance, and lifestyle.
Immediate dentures are temporary, full or partial dentures created before your tooth extraction appointment. They are placed immediately after your teeth are removed, allowing you to walk out with a complete smile the very same day.

Caring for immediate dentures helps ensure proper healing and comfort:
If your denture feels loose, painful, or uncomfortable, our Repairs & Relines page explains how we canhelp.
Immediate dentures are a temporary solution until healing is complete—usually a few months—before receiving your final denture.
They can feel snug at first, but adjustments are common during the healing process to maintain comfort.
You will start with softer foods and slowly transition to more normal foods as healing progresses.
As your gums and bone heal, the shape of your mouth changes. Relines help keep the denture fitting securely.
