Clinical Interests

Complete dentures are removable dental prostheses that replace all missing teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw. They restore chewing ability, improve speech, support facial muscles, and enhance appearance for patients who have lost all their natural teeth.

Types of Complete Dentures

• 1- Conventional Complete Dentures
• Made and placed after all teeth have been extracted and gums have healed (usually after 6–8 weeks).
• 2- Immediate Complete Dentures
• Prepared in advance and placed immediately after tooth extraction.
• Helps patients avoid being toothless during the healing period.
• 3- Implant-Supported Dentures
• Dentures that are secured on dental implants for better stability and comfort.
