Full & Partial Dentures in East Peoria, IL
Comfortable, Custom Solutions for Missing Teeth
Tooth loss can affect more than your appearance—it impacts how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. At East Peoria Dental Group, we provide high-quality full and partial dentures that restore function, comfort, and confidence. Whether you’re missing a few teeth or an entire arch, we’ll guide you through the process of regaining a healthy, natural-looking smile.
Our dentures are custom-designed to fit securely and look realistic, helping patients in East Peoria and surrounding communities reclaim their quality of life through expert restorative care.
Types of Dentures We Offer
At East Peoria Dental Group, we offer several types of dentures based on your level of tooth loss and oral health:
- Full (Complete) Dentures: Replace all the teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches. These are ideal for patients who have lost all their teeth due to decay, gum disease, or trauma.
- Partial Dentures: Used when some natural teeth remain. These removable appliances fill in the gaps and are supported by nearby teeth with clasps or precision attachments.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: For enhanced stability, we offer implant overdentures that anchor the denture to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This option improves retention, eliminates slipping, and enhances chewing strength.
We will help determine the best solution for your needs, comfort, and budget. For patients concerned about loose-fitting dentures, implant options such as All-on-4 may offer a more permanent alternative.
Benefits of Full & Partial Dentures
Modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before. Choosing dentures at our East Peoria office comes with several benefits:
- Restore the ability to chew a wide variety of foods

- Boost self-confidence and social comfort
- Customized fit for greater comfort and appearance
Whether you need a full set or a partial appliance, our team will ensure your denture is shaped to complement your facial features and meet your functional needs.
What to Expect During Treatment
The denture process is typically completed in a series of steps over a few appointments:
- Initial Consultation and Exam
We assess your oral health, review your goals, and determine which denture option is appropriate for you. - Impressions and Bite Measurements
Custom impressions are taken to ensure your denture fits securely and functions properly. - Denture Try-In
A wax model is created for testing the shape, color, and bite. Adjustments are made as needed. - Final Placement
Your final denture is fabricated and adjusted for fit and comfort. We’ll review care instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure long-term success.
If extractions or oral surgery are required prior to denture placement, we’ll coordinate a treatment plan that ensures proper healing and timing. Our office also offers sedation options for patients who experience anxiety during dental procedures.

How to Care for Your Dentures
With proper care, your dentures can last for many years and remain comfortable to wear. Here are some guidelines to keep them in excellent condition:
- Clean your dentures daily with a soft denture brush and non-abrasive cleaner
- Soak them in a denture solution overnight if removable
- Rinse thoroughly before placing them back in your mouth
- Keep your gums and remaining teeth clean and healthy
- Visit our office for regular dental checkups and adjustments
Over time, your mouth’s shape may change. When this happens, we can reline or remake your denture to restore the proper fit and function.
Who Needs Dentures?
You may benefit from full or partial dentures if:
- You have lost multiple teeth in one or both arches
- Remaining teeth are not healthy enough to support bridges or crowns
- You want a removable, non-surgical option for tooth replacement
- You’re exploring implant-supported solutions but need a transitional appliance
Our experienced team, including Dr. Josh Hudson and Dr. John Zimdars, will help you decide whether traditional dentures, partials, or implant-supported options are best for your case.

FAQs About Dentures
Are dentures uncomfortable to wear?
There is an adjustment period, but most patients adapt quickly. Custom-fit dentures reduce irritation and improve comfort. Implant-supported options offer even greater stability.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, although soft foods are recommended during the initial adjustment. Over time, you’ll regain the ability to enjoy a wide range of foods.
How long do dentures last?
On average, dentures last 5 to 8 years before needing to be relined or replaced due to wear or changes in your mouth.
What’s the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in a dental arch, while partial dentures fill in gaps where some natural teeth remain.
