A complete denture is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth to replace all natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaws. The denture will also provide support for the cheeks and lips.  Most dentures are made of acrylic and can be fabricated two different ways:

.A conventional denture is made after all teeth have been extracted and the tissues (gums) have healed.

.An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after the teeth are extracted and the tissues are allowed to heal under the denture.
