Dentures – Schaumburg, IL
An Affordable Way to Correct Extensive Tooth Loss
Dentures are removable dental appliances that are used to replace missing teeth and repair natural tooth structure and function. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to gum disease, tooth decay, or injury, restoring the missing teeth is critical not only for your oral health but your overall health as well. Dentures are made to closely resemble your natural teeth, which means there generally aren’t any noticeable changes in your appearance. In fact, dentures from our Schaumburg dental office have even been shown to improve smile appearance and mouth function.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Losing teeth can set a patient up for a host of oral and overall health issues like uneven dental erosion, jaw pain, gum injuries, dental drift, malnutrition, indigestion, and diminished confidence. While dentures can be an excellent way for patients who are missing many teeth to restore their smiles, those who are missing one or only a few teeth may be better served by another restoration such as a dental implant. A suitable denture candidate will be in good oral health, but addressing oral infections can allow a patient to receive restorations later. The team at the Smile Standard will be happy to address these issues with appropriate restorative or periodontal services.
Types of Dentures
The process of getting dentures always begins with a consultation at our Schaumburg office. Based on our dentist’s findings, we may recommend an appliance such as:
A Partial Denture
Losing even a single tooth can redistribute the pressure of chewing and set the remaining teeth up for injury. A partial denture is designed to replace one or a few teeth, and it may incorporate metal clips to help it fit securely in the mouth.
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace complete arches of lost teeth, and they are designed to hold their positions using natural suction. Each of these appliances is completely customized for an incredibly comfortable fit.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are anchored to the jawbone with strategically placed titanium posts that allow them to exert maximum chewing power. These devices can be an excellent option for those who are frustrated with the limitations of traditional dentures.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures can deliver a wide range of important benefits like:
- Lifelike appearance.
- Improved confidence.
- Enhanced chewing ability.
- Healthier diet.
- Supporting the cheeks and remaining teeth.
- Cost-effective tooth loss solution.
- Being easy to keep clean and functional.
