Correct....that wasn't an immediate .......they went through the normal 4 stages of full denture making......impression, bite, try with final reline imp and then fit. The denture should have been as good as they could get at that moment in time. ( and indeed better than an immediate where the technician has to estimate so much.) An immediate, as the name suggests, is fitted on the day the extractions take place.

Traditional denture fabrication and teaching is actually on the decline in dental hospitals as more emphasis is placed on saving teeth and obviously prosthetics allied to implants. There are certain technicians who are "allowed" and "registered" to make dentures direct to the public and they can be a better bet as they deal with dentures all day every day. Drawback to this is that they obviously charge a private fee.

Most people now grow into their old age with some if not all their natural teeth so sometimes full denture making experience amongst younger dentists can be a little low.

Dentists indeed are totally discouraged from referring to Oral Surgery departments unless it is for something major like cancer, medical complications etc. In past times most dentists would refer their wisdom teeth extractions in but unless there is a complex root structure or nerve involvement they are not supposed to do this now. This gives the max fax surgeons time to deal with more involved cases. Certainly this was the case with the RDE and Musgrove when I worked in Exeter / Taunton area.
