Complete dentures

There are two types of appliances: conventional and immediate.
A conventional appliance is made and placed in the patient's mouth after the remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed. It is a process that can take several months. An immediate appliance, on the other hand, is inserted as soon as the remaining teeth are removed. With an immediate appliance, the patient does not have to be without teeth during the healing period. An immediate appliance may require basing or relining to fit properly during the healing period (6-8 weeks) due to bone and gum shrinkage. After the healing period, a conventional appliance is then made.
