Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth that restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Brush Street Dental Boutique in Chicago’s West Town, we design custom full and partial dentures from high-grade materials for a natural look and a comfortable, secure fit.

What are dentures?

A denture is a custom-made appliance that replaces missing teeth and the gum tissue around them. Modern dentures look natural and help support your facial structure, which tends to sag when teeth are lost. Dental implants and fixed bridges are excellent options too, but removable dentures remain a proven, cost-effective way to rebuild a full smile.

Full dentures

Full, or complete, dentures replace all of the teeth in your upper or lower arch. Depending on your situation, we may recommend a conventional denture placed after your gums have healed, an immediate denture worn right after extractions, or an implant-supported denture that snaps securely onto implants for added stability.

Partial dentures

When you still have some healthy natural teeth, a partial denture fills the gaps left by the missing ones. It clasps onto your remaining teeth, keeps them from shifting out of place, and blends in naturally with your smile.

What to expect with a new denture

New dentures can feel unfamiliar at first. It is normal to produce more saliva and to need a little practice eating and speaking while your mouth adjusts. Most patients feel comfortable within a few weeks, and we will fine-tune the fit so your denture feels natural and stays secure.

Frequently asked questions

Are dentures comfortable?

A well-made, properly fitted denture should feel comfortable and stay securely in place. We take precise measurements and adjust the fit so you can eat and speak with ease.

How do I care for my dentures?

Clean your dentures daily, take them out at night unless we tell you otherwise, and keep up with regular checkups so we can check the fit and your overall oral health.
