Obturators in Villa Park, IL
Specialized prostheses for restoring comfort, function, and esthetics after oral defects
Where Should I Start?
If you’ve experienced an oral defect due to surgery, trauma, or congenital conditions such as cleft palate, an obturator may help restore essential functions like speaking, eating, and swallowing — while also improving appearance and confidence.
At Aspire Advanced Dentistry, we specialize in customized obturators, designed to address each patient’s unique needs.
- We’ll perform a comprehensive exam and digital scans to understand your oral condition.
- We’ll create a treatment plan tailored to restore comfort and function.
- We’ll collaborate with your surgical or medical team when needed for continuity of care.
What Happens During the Treatment Phase?
1. Initial Evaluation & Digital Planning
- We assess your oral condition and use 3D digital scans to design an obturator that fits precisely.
- Digital planning allows us to preview how the prosthesis will support function and esthetics.
2. Fabrication of the Obturator
- Depending on your case, the obturator may close a surgical defect, aid in healing, or provide long-term support.
- We use advanced materials to ensure comfort, durability, and a natural appearance.
3. Placement & Adjustments
- Once the obturator is placed, we make any needed adjustments to improve fit and function.
- Follow-up visits are scheduled to ensure healing, comfort, and stability over time.
How Do I Care for My Obturator?
Proper care and maintenance are key to keeping your obturator effective and comfortable:
- Remove and clean daily using a soft brush and non-abrasive cleanser.
- Rinse your mouth and prosthesis after meals.
- Schedule regular visits so we can monitor your oral health and the condition of the prosthesis.
- Report any irritation, looseness, or difficulty so we can make adjustments promptly.
