Our Process

Aesthetic Consultation

We discuss your desired appearance in detail. What do you want your smile to look like? We show you photos of different tooth shapes, shades, and arrangements. We consider your age, facial features, skin tone, and personality. We may take photos of your current smile or old photos of your natural teeth for reference.

45 minutes

Impressions & Records

We take precise impressions and bite records. We also record your lip support, smile line, and facial measurements to ensure your dentures will look natural and support your facial structure properly.

45 minutes

Shade & Tooth Selection

We carefully select tooth shade using professional shade guides in natural lighting. We choose tooth shape and size that complements your facial features. We select gum shade to match your natural tissue. This step is critical for cosmetic dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes cosmetic dentures different from regular dentures?

Cosmetic dentures use premium aesthetic teeth with natural characterization (subtle color variations, translucency, texture). We spend extra time on shade matching, tooth selection, and positioning. Multiple try-in appointments ensure you are completely happy with the appearance. The result is dentures that look like natural teeth, not obviously fake.

Will cosmetic dentures look like real teeth?

Yes! That is the goal of cosmetic dentures. We use high-quality teeth with natural translucency and characterization. We carefully match shade, shape, and size to your facial features. Most people will not be able to tell you are wearing dentures. We take before and after photos so you can see the dramatic transformation.

How much do cosmetic dentures cost in Oak Park?

Cosmetic dentures cost $2,000-$4,000 depending on complexity. This is $500-$2,000 more than standard dentures, but the superior appearance is worth the investment for many patients. If you are eligible for VDS, your voucher covers standard dentures and you pay the cosmetic upgrade cost.

Can I see what my cosmetic dentures will look like before they are finished?

Yes! The try-in appointment is specifically for this purpose. You try on your dentures with the teeth set in wax before they are finalized. You can see exactly how your smile will look. We make any changes you want at this stage. We also take photos so you can see the before and after comparison.

What if I do not like how my cosmetic dentures look?

We will not finalize your dentures until you are completely happy with the appearance. At the try-in appointment, we can change tooth shade, shape, position, or any other aspect. We want you to love your new smile. If needed, we schedule additional try-in appointments until you are satisfied.

Are cosmetic dentures more fragile than regular dentures?

No, cosmetic dentures are just as durable as standard dentures. The difference is in the aesthetic quality of the teeth and the craftsmanship, not the strength. With proper care, cosmetic dentures last 5-7 years just like standard dentures.

Can I get cosmetic partial dentures?

Yes! Cosmetic principles apply to both full and partial dentures. For partial dentures, we carefully match the teeth to your remaining natural teeth so the denture blends seamlessly. Flexible or Valplast partials are often chosen for cosmetic cases because they have no visible metal clasps.

Do you take before and after photos?

Yes, we take before photos at your initial consultation and after photos at delivery. These photos document your transformation and help you see the dramatic improvement. With your permission, we may use these photos (with your face obscured for privacy) to show other patients what is possible with cosmetic dentures.

Are cosmetic dentures covered by the Victorian Denture Scheme?

VDS covers standard dentures. If you are eligible for VDS and want cosmetic dentures, your voucher covers the base cost and you pay the cosmetic upgrade (typically $500-$1,500 additional). We explain all costs upfront so there are no surprises.

What is the difference between cosmetic dentures and EnigmaLIFE dentures?

EnigmaLIFE is a specific premium denture system with advanced materials and bonding technology. It is one step above cosmetic dentures in terms of durability and aesthetics. EnigmaLIFE costs more ($3,500-$5,000) but includes a lifetime warranty on the teeth. Both are excellent choices for patients who want superior appearance.
