Complete dentures are made only after the gums have healed following extraction of teeth, and the gums are in a healthy condition.

Complete dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw or both. Gums shrink through the healing process of tooth removal, which takes anywhere between six to twelve months. The immediate denture may need adjustments during this period to account for the changes in the gum structure and the underlying bone. This includes soft and hard relining procedure.

An overdenture is a type of a removable denture that takes the support of one or more teeth roots or dental implants. This gives additional retention to the removable denture.

A removable partial denture is a dental prosthesis that replaces some missing teeth and is made around the existing natural teeth.

An overdenture and a removable partial denture are both connected to the teeth roots or the existing natural teeth by anchors made of metal or plastic. These connections help in increasing the stability and retention of dentures.

Complete dentures, partial dentures, and overdentures should all be removed at night before sleeping. This helps the gums in being exposed to the saliva, which helps in controlling the naturally occurring flora which is present in the oral cavity. Saliva helps in the maintenance of a healthy oral cavity.
