Dentures Dentist In New Lenox

We offer a complete range of denture solutions including complete dentures (full upper and/or lower), partial dentures, immediate dentures, implant-supported dentures, and flexible partial dentures. During your consultation, we'll recommend the best option based on your specific needs, oral health, and budget.

We make dentures in our own in-house lab, so most dentures are ready in 48 hours instead of the usual weeks of waiting on an outside lab. Implant-supported dentures take longer, usually 3-6 months, to allow for proper healing and integration.

Dentures are an excellent solution for patients missing multiple teeth or all teeth in one or both arches. Good candidates have adequate bone support and healthy gums. Even if you have some remaining natural teeth, partial dentures can be a great option. We'll evaluate your oral health during a consultation to determine the best treatment approach.

Denture costs vary based on the type and materials used. Basic complete dentures typically range from $1,200-$3,000 per arch, while premium dentures with better materials and fit range from $3,000-$6,000. Implant-supported dentures range from $15,000-$25,000. We accept most insurance plans and offer financing options to make treatment affordable.

Initially, you may notice some changes in your speech as you adjust to your new dentures. This is completely normal and typically improves within a few days to weeks as your tongue and muscles adapt. We'll provide exercises and tips to help you adjust more quickly, and we'll make any necessary adjustments during follow-up visits.

Remove and rinse dentures after eating, brush them daily with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste), soak them overnight in denture solution, and rinse before putting them back in. Also maintain good oral hygiene by cleaning your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth daily.

Yes! While there may be an adjustment period, most denture wearers can eat a wide variety of foods. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces, chew slowly and evenly on both sides, and gradually introduce harder foods. Avoid very sticky or hard foods that could dislodge or damage your dentures.

We recommend denture check-ups every 6 months to ensure proper fit and function. Your mouth naturally changes over time, so periodic adjustments may be needed. We'll also check your oral tissues for any signs of irritation or other issues and clean your dentures professionally.

Immediate dentures are temporary dentures you wear while your gums heal after extractions, so you never have to go without teeth. Your mouth changes shape as it heals, so they need more adjustments. After 3-6 months of healing, we remake or reline them for the best fit, and our in-house lab makes your new dentures in 48 hours.

Modern dentures are designed to look very natural and are typically not noticeable to others. We carefully match the color, size, and shape of teeth to complement your facial features and remaining natural teeth. High-quality dentures can actually improve your facial support and give you a more youthful appearance.

Implant-supported dentures are secured by dental implants placed in your jawbone, providing superior stability and retention compared to traditional dentures. They prevent bone loss, improve chewing ability, and eliminate the need for denture adhesives. This option is ideal for patients seeking the most secure and comfortable denture experience.

Absolutely! We offer financing through Sunbit with an 85% approval rate, even for credit scores as low as 500. We also have in-house payment plans and accept most dental insurance plans, which often cover 50% of denture costs. Our goal is to make quality denture care accessible and affordable for everyone.
