Complete dentures are removable full arch replacements of missing teeth for individuals who have lost all of their teeth. These dentures fit directly on top of your gums. They can be made for your upper or lower jaw or both.
There are three main types of complete dentures. They give you a natural-looking smile and improve your ability to chew and speak.
Conventional Dentures: Conventional dentures are made after your teeth are extracted. Your gums have to heal first before they are placed.
Immediate Dentures: These are placed immediately after your teeth are extracted. You will not be left without teeth. These kinds of dentures sometimes require regular adjustments as your gums heal.
Implant-Supported Dentures: These full dentures are secured with dental implants. They are more stable and comfortable, and are often considered the most comfortable full dentures.

Complete dentures can last several years, as long as they are well taken care of. Frequent follow-up appointments for check-ups and adjustments are often necessary.
