Achieve a Confident, Functional Smile with High-quality Dentures
Losing your teeth is unfortunate because it affects your appearance, confidence, and oral functionality. However, losing your teeth doesn’t mean you lose your smile too. Complete dentures and partials in Chicago, Illinois, can replace lost teeth to restore your function and aesthetics. Unlike what you know or have heard about dentures, denture restorations at A Brush Above Family Dentistry are created with attention to detail and superior materials to mimic your natural teeth in almost every way, from function to looks.
What are my denture options?
Tooth loss is common in America despite advanced tooth-saving options like crowns, root canals, and fillings. You can lose one or multiple teeth due to accidents, advanced decay, gum disease, and other factors. Fortunately, dentures present an affordable and conservative way to replace your teeth and confidence.
Our denture options conclude:
- Complete dentures: Full dentures restore your smile when you have lost all missing teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches. Full dentures consist of realistic-looking prosthetic teeth mounted on a gum-colored base to mimic your natural dentition.
- Partials: We use partial dentures to replace a few missing teeth in a row if you have healthy teeth remaining. A partial “bridges” the gap without teeth and is attached to the surrounding teeth with removable metalwork. Our partials are meticulously designed to feel and look like an extension of your natural teeth.
Dentures can be either fixed or removable. Removable dentures are secured in place with adhesives or natural suction. Fixed dentures are anchored by dental implants inserted in the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures are more stable and comfortable than traditional dentures when eating or speaking.
How are dentures placed?
The journey begins with a comprehensive examination to determine your suitability for dentures. As soon as this is confirmed, we’ll take digital scans of your teeth and create molds for our dental lab to fabricate your dentures. Your restorations are designed to match the exact specifications of your dentition to provide a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
Expect our dentures to provide optimal function when eating, smiling, or talking. They’ll also support your jawline, making you look younger. The materials used are also durable, so your dentures will last many years despite the everyday chewing and grinding of food.
How are dentures maintained?
Rinse your dentures in clean water after meals to remove food debris, saliva, and harmful bacteria. Also, clean your restorations with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner at least twice daily. Avoid wearing your removable dentures while you sleep. Instead, soak them overnight in water or a denture solution to prevent warping and unpleasant odors. This also helps protect your gums from irritation and infection.
In addition to at-home denture care, visit your dentist every six months for dental check-ups and cleanings. We’ll professionally clean your dentures during these visits to remove dental plaque and staining. We’ll also check the condition of your dentures and make any adjustments to maintain their fit and comfort.
