Complete Denture
Complete dentures are removable dental prostheses designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, either in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. They are custom-made to fit each individual’s mouth and are typically made of acrylic resin.
Types of Complete Dentures:
– Conventional Dentures: These are the most common type of complete dentures, made after the teeth have been removed and the gums have healed.
– Immediate Dentures: These are made before the teeth are removed and are inserted immediately after extraction.
– Implant-Supported Dentures: These are anchored to dental implants, providing greater stability and retention.
