 Esthetics play a crucial role in a person’s personal as well as social life. Due to increase in age various facial changes take place which include fat atrophy mainly in the cheek and temporal regions. Sometimes partial or complete loss of teeth accompany these changes enhancing their unaesthetic value. Young edentulous patients suffer from psychological trauma of edentulism more if sunken or hollowed cheeks accompany this condition. To rehabilitate such patients who cannot afford quick treatments like cheek augmentation through dermal fillers, cheek plumpers can be used to enhance the esthetics provided by the complete dentures. The following article presents the fabrication of complete maxillary denture with detachable cheek plumpers.
