Traditional / Final Dentures
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.
One of the advantages of a final denture is the opportunity to improve on things patients may
have disliked about a previous set. Tooth shape, size, shade, smile appearance, bite, support,
and overall fit can all be adjusted and customized to create a more natural and comfortable
result.
