Full Dentures Near Vinton, VA
Never go a day without teeth, or wait for a more precise fit? If your remaining teeth need to be removed, you will choose between immediate and conventional full dentures. Full dentures near Vinton come in both types, and understanding the difference helps you pick the path that works for your schedule and comfort.
Prosthodontist Dr. Abdel Kader Felo explains both options and plans your treatment at our Cave Spring office, about 15 to 20 minutes from Vinton.

Immediate Full Dentures
Immediate dentures are made before your remaining teeth are removed and placed the same day as your extractions. You leave the office with teeth, which many people value for work and social life.
What to Know About Immediate Dentures
- You are not without teeth after extractions
- The denture protects healing gums
- Gums shrink as they heal, so relines are needed
- Some patients get a new denture once healing is complete
Conventional Full Dentures
Conventional dentures are made after the gums have healed from extractions, usually a period of several weeks to a few months. Because they are made on stable tissue, they often fit more precisely from the start.
What to Know About Conventional Dentures
- Made on healed gums for a closer fit
- Fewer adjustments related to healing
- A period without teeth while gums heal, unless a temporary is used
- Often the choice for patients already missing teeth
Immediate vs. Conventional Full Dentures Near Vinton
| Immediate | Conventional | |
|---|---|---|
| When placed | Same day as extractions | After gums heal |

Which Full Denture Is Right for You?
If going without teeth is not an option for you, immediate dentures are usually the answer. If you are already missing most teeth or prefer to wait for the most accurate fit, a conventional denture may suit you. Dr. Felo considers your health, gums, and lifestyle in his recommendation.
Caring for Healing Gums With Immediate Dentures
For the first day or so, your immediate denture usually stays in to control swelling. Afterward, you will follow instructions for removing, cleaning, and reinserting it. Follow-up visits allow adjustments as your gums change, and a reline is typically needed once healing settles.
Cost and Next Steps
Full dentures typically cost about $1,000 to $3,000 per arch in the Roanoke area. Learn more about the process with full dentures in Roanoke.
