Comfortable full, partial, and implant-retained dentures, plus relines and repairs, for patients in Evergreen Park, Oak Lawn, and nearby communities.
Losing several teeth can make simple things feel hard. Biting into an apple, laughing at the dinner table, or speaking clearly on the phone may all take more effort than they should. If you already wear a denture that slips, clicks, or rubs, you know how much a poor fit can wear on you over the course of a day.
Dental Group of Evergreen Park, an office of Dental Group of Chicago, makes and maintains dentures for adults who want to eat, speak, and smile with more confidence. As your dentist in Evergreen Park, we fit new dentures, adjust older ones, and help you compare options until you find the one that suits your life.
Dentures are removable replacement teeth set in a gum-colored base. They fill gaps left by missing teeth, support your lips and cheeks, and make chewing and speaking easier. Dentures can help people who have lost all of their teeth, people missing several teeth, and people who need teeth removed because of deep decay or advanced gum disease.
Every new denture comes with an adjustment period. According to the American Dental Association’s MouthHealthy page on dentures, new dentures can feel awkward for a few weeks while your cheek and tongue muscles learn to hold them in place. The ADA also notes that follow-up visits are usually needed to adjust the fit, and we plan for those visits from the start.

The right denture depends on how many teeth you have left, the health of your gums and bone, and your budget. We offer the following options.
Patients who want the steadiest fit often ask about dental implants in Evergreen Park, which can anchor a full or partial denture in place.
Making a denture that fits well takes a few visits, and each step gives us a chance to fine-tune the result.
Your dentist checks your gums, remaining teeth, and jawbone with an exam and digital X-rays. If any teeth need to come out first, our general dentistry team in Evergreen Park handles extractions right here in the office.
We take impressions and measurements of your mouth, and then you try on a wax model of your new teeth. This lets you check the shape, shade, and bite before the final denture is made.
At your fitting, we place the denture and make small changes so it sits comfortably. You come back for follow-up visits, where we smooth sore spots and adjust the fit as your mouth settles.
Your gums and jawbone change shape over time, so a denture that once fit well can start to feel loose. A reline adds new material to the inside of the denture so it hugs your gums again. A rebase replaces the entire pink base while keeping your existing teeth, which can extend the life of a denture that is still in good shape.
If your denture cracks or a tooth breaks off, avoid home glue kits and bring it to our office, where we can often repair it. Daily care also helps your denture last. Rinse it after meals, brush it gently with a soft brush, keep it moist overnight, and come in for regular checkups so we can catch fit problems early.
Denture costs depend on the type you choose, the number of teeth involved, and whether you need extractions first. Our team reviews your dental benefits with you before treatment and explains your costs up front, so you know what to expect before any work begins.
New patients without insurance can start with our $99 visit, which includes an initial cleaning, a comprehensive exam, and a full set of digital X-rays. Financing options and payment plans are also available. Our insurance and financing options explain how to spread the cost of treatment over time.
Dr. Christopher Klee and Dr. Manasa Kanneganti take time to explain each option so you can choose with confidence. Dr. Klee has a strong interest in oral surgery and esthetic dentistry, which helps when extractions and appearance both matter. Dr. Kanneganti brings a compassionate, patient-first style and a focus on building lasting relationships with the people she treats.
Most denture care, from extractions to fittings and repairs, happens in our own office. We offer evening hours Monday through Thursday and appointments on the second Saturday of each month. Before your first appointment, our new patient information walks you through what to bring and what to expect.
Most people need a few weeks for their cheek and tongue muscles to learn to hold new dentures. Follow-up visits let us adjust the fit during this time.
Full dentures replace all the teeth in an upper or lower arch. Partial dentures fill gaps when you still have some healthy natural teeth.
Yes, immediate dentures are made ahead of time and placed right after extractions. They usually need relines as your gums heal and change shape.
Many dentures need a reline every few years as the gums and bone change shape. Your dentist checks the fit at regular visits and lets you know when a reline makes sense.
In many cases, yes. Bring the denture and any broken pieces to our office, and avoid home glue kits, which can damage the base.
Implant-retained dentures snap onto implants, so they tend to move less while you eat and talk. Your dentist can help you weigh stability, cost, and bone health to choose the right option.
