Industry-leading COVID-19 Protection:

Here are the steps we have taken to ensure your safety

All eligible staff have been vaccinated.
We have procured all the recommended PPE. N95 masks, gowns, and face shields.
We have installed hospital antimicrobial curtains around each room. This allows us to contain the treatment in the room being used.
We have added two medical-grade air purifiers to cleanse the air multiple times an hour.
We are using UVC lights to disinfect the rooms after each use.
There will be fewer patients in the office at a time. All patients will be asked to remain in their vehicles until we are ready for them.
Every person will be asked before coming to the office to confirm they are symptom-free and are not COVID positive so far as they know.
Everyone will have their temperature taken and will be required to rinse with hydrogen peroxide before the treatment.

After nearly a year of using these precautions, not a single individual, staff or patient, has contracted COVID from being in the office. We don’t think there is a safer dental office in all of the Chicago area. Call (708) 849-4400 to make an appointment

What Is a Partial Denture? Dolton IL Dentist Answers Your Questions

Posted By: Dr. Dean Dietrich | Published On: May 21, 2021 | Second Nature Partialc Dentures

Dentist In Dolton IL Area Explains What Is a Partial Denture

Partial dentures do not replace a complete set of teeth, leading to questions about their use. Your Dolton IL dentist at Pleasant Dental® helps patients that can benefit from partial dentures.

So, what is a partial denture and why might a person need partial dentures?

What are Some Reasons that Patients Need a Partial Denture?

Partial dentures differ from complete dentures because they replace a few missing teeth, not a complete full set of teeth. Some people lose only a few teeth because of decay, trauma, or other injuries. In situations like this, a person may need a partial denture.

The dentist customizes partial dentures for the individual patient to look and function as close as possible to their natural teeth.

What are the Benefits of Partial Dentures?

Some may believe that they are OK with a few missing teeth. But that poses a risk of decay, weakness, or stress on surrounding teeth and other potential oral health issues.

Partial dentures have several benefits, including:

Restores proper chewing and eating ability
Improves the smile
Improves self-confidence
It helps improve speech that may be altered by missing teeth
It helps to enhance the form and function of the jawline

Partial dentures are typically designed with wire clasps that attach to surrounding teeth. Dr. Dean Dietrich at Pleasant Dental® often uses the latest innovation, called Second NatureTM. Patients that choose this option discover additional benefits to wearing a partial denture because Second NatureTM partial dentures are created with a metal-free frame. Zirlux Acetal, an advanced type of high-strength thermoplastic, is used to create the extremely comfortable, durable, and natural-looking partial denture that can last for years. These partial dentures are easy to care for, which your dentist will explain at your appointment.
