At Downers Grove Dental Spa, we are proud to offer high-quality removable dentures to both new and existing patients who have lost some or all of their teeth. Our custom-crafted dentures are designed to fit each patient’s mouth perfectly, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional solutions for tooth loss.

Crafting Your Custom Dentures

To create your personalized dentures, our experienced team will take a series of impressions of your jaw, teeth, and gums, along with detailed measurements. These impressions are used to craft a model that is tested and adjusted until the color, shape, and fit are perfect for you. Once finalized, the model is sent to a dental lab to create the permanent denture. When the denture is ready, you will receive it, and any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

Types of Dentures

1. Conventional Full Dentures: These are ideal for patients who need to replace all upper and/or lower teeth. After any necessary extractions and once your gums have healed, we will take impressions and measurements of your jaws and gums. A custom model of your denture is created, adjusted for fit, and sent to the lab. Once complete, we will fit the denture to your mouth and make any minor adjustments needed for a secure, comfortable fit.
2. Partial Dentures (Dental Bridges): Partial dentures are designed to replace one or more missing teeth. In addition to improving your smile, partial dentures prevent remaining teeth from shifting into the empty spaces. A standard bridge involves placing crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap, with a replacement tooth attached to those crowns. We ensure the replacement tooth matches your natural teeth for a seamless look.

Maintenance and Follow-Up

Regular follow-up appointments are essential to maintain the fit and comfort of your dentures. Over time, adjustments may be needed. Dentures should be cleaned regularly using a soft-bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive cleanser to prevent plaque buildup. Typically, dentures need to be replaced every 5-10 years. Our dentist will evaluate whether your dentures need refitting or replacement during your visits.
