Can duplicate the shape, colour and arrangement of the natural teeth while some are still present in the mouth
An immediate denture can assist with possible relearning of speech patterns
Helps maintain masticatory function
Disadvantages
Cost - A soft temporary reline material will be utilised for re-fitting the denture when it becomes loose during the healing process
Often will need to be remodelled but once stabilised it can act as a spare
Not always possible to envisage final tooth set-up
Initially, an immediate denture does not always fit as accurately as a conventional denture, which is made after the tissues have healed for 1-2 months following extractions. If a conventional denture is not made, then a reline is required
