Traditional, replacement, or final dentures are removable custom-made dentures designed to replace missing teeth after the gums and bone have fully healed from extractions. For many patients, these dentures become the final long-term set following immediate dentures worn during the healing phase.
Because the healing process has already stabilized, final dentures often provide a more
accurate fit, improved comfort, better stability, and more natural esthetics. Healing also creates a more ideal foundation for tooth placement, bite alignment, and denture reinforcement.
