Dentures in Portage Park, IL

“You’re like a set of false teeth, I can’t smile without you”

A denture is a removable (most often) prosthetic device that is used as a restorative dentistry option to replace 1 or more missing teeth. A denture can be complete or partial. A partial denture is used when only some of the teeth are missing, and a complete denture is used when all the teeth are missing.

What to expect

Making dentures usually takes about 5-6 appointments.  Our Portage Park dentists take impressions and due measurements and try esthetics, function, and phonetics for the final delivery.  Dentures often take time to get used to, and there are several adjustments due to sore spots as your tissue adapts to them.  We strongly recommend adding implants to help retain full dentures.  We are happy to go over any questions you may have, as well as the care of your dentures for the years to come.
