Restore Function and Confidence with Complete Dentures at Park Avenue Dental Care
Losing all of your natural teeth can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to mean the end of a confident smile or a functional bite. At Park Avenue Dental Care in Homewood, Illinois, Dr. Gregory Duffner, Dr. James Kreuz, and Dr. Alexander Dolinar offer expertly crafted complete dentures that restore your teeth’s appearance and function. With years of experience in restorative dentistry and a patient-focused approach, the team at Park Avenue Dental Care designs dentures that look natural, feel comfortable, and help patients regain control of their oral health.
Complete dentures are a full-arch solution for patients who have lost all their teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Whether due to aging, trauma, or advanced dental disease, missing teeth can impact everything from speech to nutrition. Our custom dentures are carefully designed to fit your mouth precisely, allowing you to speak clearly, eat comfortably, and smile confidently.
Who is a candidate for complete dentures?
Complete dentures are ideal for individuals who have lost all their teeth in one or both arches. Some patients may already be edentulous (toothless), while others may need remaining teeth extracted before getting dentures. Dr. Duffner, Dr. Kreuz and Dr. Dolinar perform a thorough oral evaluation to ensure the health of your gums and jawbone, which are crucial for a proper denture fit. They will also discuss your goals and expectations before recommending dentures or alternative options.
What is the process of getting complete dentures?
The process typically begins with a comprehensive dental exam and impressions of your mouth. If extractions are needed, they will be performed, and the gums will be given time to heal. The doctors may provide immediate dentures for temporary use while your permanent set is being fabricated. Once your gums are healed and the final dentures are ready, adjustments will be made to ensure comfort, function, and a natural look. Follow-up visits may be necessary to fine-tune the fit.
Will dentures feel comfortable?
New dentures can take some time to adjust to, especially during the first few weeks. Some initial discomfort or difficulty with speaking and chewing is normal. However, with time and practice, most patients adapt well. Dr. Duffner, Dr. Kreuz and Dr. Dolinar take great care in creating well-fitting dentures to minimize irritation and maximize stability. They also provide guidance and adjustments to help patients feel confident and comfortable throughout the transition.
How do I care for my dentures?
Proper care helps extend the life of your dentures and keeps your mouth healthy. Dentures should be soaked in a denture solution overnight, brushed with a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive cleaning every day, and removed and rinsed after meals. Be sure to clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining oral tissues daily. Regular checkups with us ensure that your dentures continue to fit well and function properly over time.
