Understanding Your Denture Options
When natural teeth are lost, dentures provide an effective way to restore both function and appearance. Our experienced dentist will evaluate your specific needs during a comprehensive consultation to determine the best approach for your situation.
Complete dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures fill gaps when some healthy teeth remain. Both options are designed to look and feel like your real teeth, giving you back the confidence to eat, speak, and smile naturally.
Types of Dentures Available in Oak Park
Traditional Dentures
Conventional full dentures are placed after the remaining teeth are removed and the tissues have healed. This process typically takes several months but ensures the best fit and comfort for your healthy smile.
Immediate Dentures
Placed immediately after tooth extraction, these allow you to maintain your appearance during the healing process. Adjustments will be needed as your mouth heals and changes shape.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Dental implants provide superior stability for your dentures. This option combines the benefits of implants with the coverage of complete dentures, offering improved chewing ability and a more secure fit than traditional dentures.
What to Expect During the Process
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where we assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. We’ll take precise impressions to ensure your new dentures fit comfortably and look natural.

Caring for Your Investment
Proper dental care extends the life of your dentures and maintains your oral health. Daily cleaning removes plaque and food particles, while proper storage prevents warping. Regular check-ups with your dentist allow for necessary adjustments and early detection of any issues.
Even with dentures, maintaining good oral hygiene is essential. Clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth daily to prevent infection and maintain fresh breath.
