Reduction of the number of visits and chair time for complete denture fabrication would be welcomed by dentists and patients. This article describes and illustrates clinical and laboratory procedures for fabricating a new denture for a patient with an existing complete denture. The procedure can be completed in 3 to 4 visits.
