Same Day Dentures in East Meadow
Walk in with dental concerns, walk out with a full, confident smile—all in a single day.
A New Smile Without the Wait
At Pleasant Dental Care, we understand that the thought of tooth extraction or losing your natural teeth can be emotionally difficult. The fear of going days or weeks without teeth is a major source of anxiety for many patients. We believe you should never have to compromise your dignity or your confidence while you heal.
As your supportive partners in oral health, we offer Same Day Dentures (also known as Immediate Dentures). This modern solution ensures that you leave our office with a complete, natural-looking smile immediately after your teeth are removed. We combine clinical precision with our signature “Caregiver” warmth to make this transition as smooth, comfortable, and dignified as possible.
How Same Day Dentures Work
We blend “forward-thinking” planning with compassionate care to ensure your immediate dentures fit well and look great from the moment you wear them.
1. Advance Planning:
Before any extraction, we take precise measurements and impressions of your mouth. Using our technology-focused diagnostic tools, we determine the optimal shape and shade for your new teeth.
2. The "Gentle" Procedure:
On the day of your appointment, Dr. Khilwani performs any necessary extractions with a gentle touch, prioritizing your comfort and using modern anesthetics.
3. Immediate Placement:
Your new dentures are placed immediately. This not only restores your smile instantly but also acts as a “bandage” to reduce bleeding and protect your gums as they heal.
4. Ongoing Support:
Your mouth will change as it heals. True to our family-driven values, we don’t just send you away; we schedule follow-up visits to adjust your dentures and ensure your long-term comfort.
The Benefits of Immediate Care
Why choose Same Day Dentures at Pleasant Dental Care?
Zero "Toothless" Days:
You will never have to face the world—or the mirror—without your teeth. You can smile, speak, and socialize immediately.
Faster Healing:
The denture acts as a protective layer over the extraction sites, which can help minimize swelling and assist the healing process.
Preserved Appearance:
Placing dentures immediately helps support your facial muscles and lips, preventing that “sunken” look that can occur after tooth loss.
Anxiety-Free Transition:
We handle the details so you can focus on healing. We explain every step clearly, reducing the fear of the unknown.
"We are with you for the long haul. As your mouth heals and changes, we will be there to adjust, reline, and ensure your smile remains comfortable and secure."

We use advanced technology not just for speed, but to ensure your new smile looks natural and feels like you.
Frequently Asked Questions About Same Day Dentures:
Are Same Day Dentures as good as permanent dentures?
Same Day Dentures are an excellent immediate solution, but because they are placed before your gums have fully healed, they are often considered a “transitional” or “healing” denture. As your gums heal and shrink over the first few months, the fit will change. We will either reline these dentures to fit your healed gums or create a new set of “permanent” dentures once your mouth is stable. We will guide you toward the best long-term plan for your budget.
Will it be painful to wear dentures right after extractions?
It is normal to experience some tenderness after extractions, but many patients find that the denture actually acts as a protective barrier, reducing discomfort. We will provide you with clear, easy-to-follow instructions and pain management tips to ensure your healing process is as comfortable as possible.
Can I eat normally with immediate dentures?
You will need to start with soft foods while your gums heal and you get used to your new teeth. This is a learning process, and we will be there to support you with tips and advice. As you heal, you will gradually be able to return to a more varied diet.
How do I know if they will look natural?
We use advanced planning techniques to select the shape, size, and color of the teeth before your extraction appointment. We work with you to choose a look that complements your face and restores your natural appearance, so you can smile with confidence immediately.
Does insurance cover Same Day Dentures?
Many dental insurance plans provide coverage for dentures. As a practice built on “Integrity” and “Value,” we will perform a complimentary benefits check for you before treatment begins. We will clearly explain your coverage and out-of-pocket costs, and we offer financing options to help make your new smile affordable.
