What are dentures?

Dentures are custom, removable replacements for missing teeth. Full dentures replace all the teeth in an arch, while partial dentures fill in several missing teeth alongside your natural ones. Modern dentures look natural and restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. We design each set for a comfortable, personalized fit.

Types of Dentures

Dentures are custom-made appliances that replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. A full denture replaces all the teeth in your upper or lower arch when no natural teeth remain. A partial denture fills the gaps when you still have some healthy teeth, clasping gently to them to stay in place.

Today's dentures are a long way from the bulky ones you may picture. We craft them from natural-looking materials and shade them to suit your smile, so they look natural and feel comfortable.

For some patients, implant-retained dentures offer extra stability by snapping onto dental implants. If that's a good option for you, we'll coordinate the implant placement with a trusted specialist and provide your custom denture, and we'll always talk through every choice first.

Are Dentures Right for You?

Dentures may be a great fit if you:

  • Are missing all the teeth in one or both arches (full dentures)
  • Are missing several teeth with healthy teeth remaining (partial dentures)
  • Want an affordable, removable way to replace missing teeth
  • Want to restore comfortable chewing, clearer speech, and your smile
  • Have older dentures that are worn or no longer fit well

Note: We'll examine your smile and talk through all your tooth-replacement options, including bridges and implant restorations, so you can choose what fits you best.

Why Replace Missing Teeth?

Replacing missing teeth does more than restore your smile. It helps because missing teeth can:

Allow remaining teeth to drift out of place

How Much Do Dentures Cost in Chicago?

The cost of dentures depends on whether you need a full or partial set, the materials, and whether you choose an implant-retained option. Dentures are restorative care, and dental insurance often covers a portion. We're in-network with most major PPOs and will review your specific benefits with you.

To make treatment manageable, we offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry, and members of our in-house membership plan receive 15% off treatments like dentures. We'll always give you a clear estimate up front.

What to Consider About Dentures

Dentures are a proven, flexible way to replace missing teeth, but it helps to know what to expect. New dentures take a little time to get used to, both for eating and speaking, and some early adjustments are completely normal. Because dentures rest on your gums, the underlying bone can change over time, so periodic relines or remakes keep them fitting well. Daily cleaning and care are important too.

Dentures aren't the only option. For a few missing teeth, a fixed bridge may suit you. An implant restoration or implant-retained denture offers more stability by anchoring to implants, with placement coordinated through a trusted specialist. We'll walk you through every option honestly so you can choose with confidence.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on whether you need full or partial dentures, the materials, and whether you choose an implant-retained option. Dentures are restorative care and are often partially covered by insurance. We're in-network with most major PPOs, offer financing and a 15% member discount, and we'll give you a clear estimate first.

Full dentures replace all the teeth in an arch when no natural teeth remain. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth and clasp to your remaining natural teeth. A full denture is best when an arch has no teeth left; a partial is best when healthy teeth remain to support it.

Yes. Modern dentures are custom-made and shaded to suit your smile, so they look far more natural than the bulky dentures many people picture.

New dentures take a little getting used to for eating and speaking, and early adjustments are normal. They become more comfortable with time, and if you'd like more stability, an implant-retained option can help.

Clean them daily, handle them carefully, and follow our guidance on soaking and removing them. Regular checkups let us reline or adjust them so they keep fitting comfortably.
