A partial denture fills the spaces of missing teeth but also prevents the remaining natural teeth from shifting.
Complete – Complete dentures can either be conventional or immediate.
- Conventional dentures are made after your teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal. It will be ready for placement in the mouth about 8-12 weeks after teeth have been removed.
- Immediate dentures are made in advance and can be positioned as soon as your teeth are removed.

These are considered a temporary solution until conventional dentures can be made.
