Tooth Loss Is a Common Condition
What Are Dentures
Made Of?
Most dentures are made of acrylic resin, a strong but lightweight material that’s easy to adjust. The gum-colored base, also known as the framework, is usually made of the same resin and fits directly over the gums. Partial dentures can also have metal frames that attach to your natural teeth or crowns for added stability.
Types of Dentures
Patients who have lost all of their natural teeth on one or both arches can benefit from full dentures. These custom-crafted appliances rely on the gums and underlying bone ridge for support.
Those who are missing several teeth in multiple locations may wish to consider a partial denture. Similar to full dentures, partials rest on the gums but also attach to adjacent teeth for added stability.
Individuals who want a more stable prosthesis and natural look and feel may opt for dental implant-supported dentures. These appliances attach to the implant and remain firmly in place.

Denture Treatment Timeline
Denture treatment at our Orland Park, IL, practice requires at least five visits to ensure the prosthesis fits properly. Here are the basic steps to expect during the process.
First Appointment
Do You Always Need to Use Denture Adhesives?
Denture adhesives are usually used as temporary solutions when your mouth changes shape and your dentures feel loose. Adhesives should not be a permanent solution to ill-fitting dentures; contact us if your dentures don’t fit properly so our dentists can adjust or replace them as needed.
Dental Implant-Supported Options
Upgrading Your Dentures
Many of our Orland Park, IL, patients are happy with the quality of life they achieve with our affordable dentures. However, some individuals desire improved comfort and better stability than what traditional dentures can offer. In addition, dentures must be taken in and out daily for cleanings; at some point, many patients want a more permanent option that offers easier care and a more natural-looking feel. In these cases, they may choose to convert to implant-supported dentures for a better quality of life in the long term.
Dental Implant Considerations
Dental implants are a popular teeth replacement option with a high success rate. They can support a number of restorations—including full and partial dentures—and prevent jaw deterioration as a result of missing teeth. While implants offer a number of lifelong oral health benefits that result in future savings, they do require a higher upfront cost. If you would like to explore your tooth replacement treatment options, call our Orland Park, IL, office and speak to one of our knowledgeable team members.

Dr. Yamen and his staff were absolutely amazing. I called in with major tooth pain and they took me within the hour. His assistant took my X-ray and Dr. Yamen came in and explained everything thoroughly. His assistant came back into the room explained my treatment plan, and what my insurance covered. Dr Yamen took the tooth out and next week I'm scheduled to get my cleaning with their hygienist! Would highly recommend.
