Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Yes, it is indeed common practise to include wisdom teeth in complete full dentures, mainly judging by the external facial appearance that the dentures will provide the individual.

By adding the wisdom teeth, many individuals experience pain, disfiguration, and other such undesired symptoms which is why wisdom teeth are usually excluded from the commonly used or designed dentures.

Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
