Can I get dentures the same day my teeth are pulled?
Sometimes, yes. In some cases, a provider may be able to place an immediate denture, which is a denture made in advance and placed the same day teeth are removed, but it depends on your mouth, your provider, and the treatment plan they recommend.
Short answer
A same-day option is often called an immediate denture. An immediate denture is a denture that is prepared before teeth are taken out and placed right after the teeth are removed.
Not everyone is a fit for this option. A licensed denture or dental provider has to examine your mouth and explain what may be possible for you. SmileAgain Match does not give treatment advice, but we can help you find a provider near you to ask.
If you are comparing costs, prices can vary a lot. Dentures may range from about $600 to $3,000 or more, depending on the type, materials, provider, and area. These are not quotes.
What it means for you
Same-day dentures can help some people avoid going without teeth in the front of the mouth while healing. But there are trade-offs. Your gums and jaw can change shape after teeth are removed, so the denture that fits on day one may need changes later.
A reline is an adjustment that adds material to the inside of a denture so it fits your gums better as your mouth changes. A rebase is when the pink base of the denture is remade while the teeth part is kept. These are different from making a brand-new denture.
You may also hear other denture words when you talk with a provider:
- A full denture replaces all teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both.
- A partial denture replaces some missing teeth and fits around natural teeth that remain.
- An overdenture, also called an implant-supported denture, is a denture that connects to dental implants for added hold.
- A soft liner is a softer layer placed inside some dentures to cushion the gums.
- A denturist is a licensed professional in some states who makes and fits dentures. In other places, a dentist may provide this care.
The main point is simple. Same-day dentures may be possible, but they are not the right choice for every person, and there are no guaranteed results. The best next step is to ask a licensed provider what options they offer, what follow-up visits may be needed, and what the total expected cost range may be.
How free matching helps
If you want to ask about same-day dentures, SmileAgain Match can help you find participating providers near you. Our service is free to readers. We share educational information and offer free matching only. We are not a dentist, clinic, or dental office.
You can use Get matched to send your contact details and a short note, such as, "I want to ask whether immediate dentures are offered near me." You do not need to send private medical records, insurance ID numbers, Social Security numbers, or immigration information.
A local provider can then explain:
- whether they offer immediate dentures
- what visits may be needed before and after tooth removal
- what cost ranges to expect in your area
- whether another option may make more sense for your situation
If English is not your first language, matching can still help you start the conversation. You can also explore denture services to learn more about common denture types in plain language.

An honest note
SmileAgain Match is a free matching service, not a dentist or dental clinic. We share general, plain-language information so you can decide what fits. For anything specific to your mouth or health, talk to a licensed denture or dental provider, and confirm the type, the fit, and the full price in writing before any work starts.
Yes, same-day dentures may be possible for some people, but only a licensed provider can tell you if that option is right for you.
Common questions
Can everyone get dentures the same day teeth are pulled?
No. Some people may be offered an immediate denture, but a licensed provider has to decide what options may work for that person.
Will same-day dentures fit perfectly right away?
Not always. Mouth tissues often change shape during healing, so follow-up visits and later adjustments may be needed.
Are same-day dentures more expensive?
They can be, but costs vary by type, materials, provider, and area. Ask a local provider for a cost range, not a quote.
