A Look at Your Denture Options at Our Rockford Practice
Full Dentures
If you are missing all of your teeth along a dental arch or your few remaining teeth are unhealthy, we can extract the unhealthy teeth and provide you with a full denture to restore your smile and oral function.
Partial Dentures
If you have some remaining healthy teeth along a dental arch, our dentists can leave them in place and create a partial denture that fills in the gaps. These appliances can address several areas of tooth loss along a dental arch.
Exploring the Benefits of Dentures
Promote Your Oral Health
Even one missing tooth puts you at risk for oral health issues such as jawbone deterioration and dental misalignment. Dentures work to minimize your chances of developing problems that can take a toll on your oral health and overall well-being.
Improve Daily Function
If you have been missing teeth for some time, you may have avoided eating your favorite foods or put up with difficulty speaking. Thanks to dentures, however, you’ll be able to chew, bite, and speak with ease.
Boost Confidence
If missing teeth are leaving you less than satisfied with your smile, dentures can provide a natural-looking solution. Dentures can also provide support to your facial structures to address a sinking or sagging appearance.

How We Place Dentures at Our Rockford Practice
Gentle Family Dentistry offers both traditional and implant-supported dentures, depending on your needs, budget, and lifestyle.
How Long Will My Dentures Last?
Materials will undergo natural wear and tear, and eventually, there will come a time you need your dentures replaced. A set of dentures will last about 10 years on average, but with proper care and maintenance, they can last even longer.
Our practice crafts dentures from IPS e.max® acrylic, a versatile, high-strength material that can match the appearance of natural teeth. Whether you’re wondering if it’s time to replace your existing dentures or want to learn more about our high-quality restorations, Gentle Family Dentistry is here to help. A new smile you’re proud to show off can be yours.
Maintaining Your Dentures Aftercare Tips
Practice Good Oral Hygiene
Just as you would natural teeth, brush your denture twice daily with a soft-bristle brush. A traditional denture should be removed every night and soaked in water or a denture cleanser to give your gums and jawbone a break.
Clean Your Dentures Regularly
In addition to brushing, we recommend you rinse your dentures after meals to remove any food particles that may have become trapped.
Properly Store Your Dentures
Store your traditional dentures in water or a cleaning solution when you’re not wearing them.
Visit Your Dentist Periodically
Getting acclimated to your new prosthetic may take a few weeks or longer. Fortunately, we can make adjustments as needed.
Financing Options Are Available
Our Rockford office accepts most dental insurance plans to offset some or all of the cost of dentures. We will work with you to maximize your benefits. Additionally, we offer financing options to help fit treatment into your budget.
