A removable complete denture is a type of removable denture used for replacing the missing teeth and surrounding tissues and are used when all of the teeth are missing. The replacement teeth are firmly attached to a base, whose color matches with that of the natural gum, and is supported by the tissues of the mouth. There are two classifications for a removable complete denture: Conventional and Immediate.
Immediate dentures are made in advance and can be placed in the mouth immediately after the teeth are removed. They are only temporary solutions until a conventional denture is made. Conventional dentures are made once all the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed. They are ready to be placed in the mouth after all the healing has been completed.
