What Dentures Can Replace
Dentures can restore:
- All missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw
- Several missing teeth with partial dentures
- Teeth that are damaged beyond repair
- Smiles affected by long-term tooth loss
Depending on your needs, dentures can be full or partial—and may be supported by implants for added stability.
Who Often Benefits from Dentures
Dentures may be a good option if you:
- Are missing multiple or all teeth
- Struggle with chewing or speaking
- Have teeth that cannot be saved
- Feel self-conscious about your smile
- Want a practical, cost-conscious solution
If you’ve worn dentures before and feel unhappy with the fit, comfort, or appearance, a new approach may make a big difference.
When It’s Time to Consider Dentures
You may want to explore dentures if:
- Eating feels limited or uncomfortable
- Your teeth feel loose, worn, or painful
- Old dentures no longer fit properly
- You rely on adhesives every day
- You’re ready for a fresh start
There’s no pressure to decide quickly. We meet you where you are and help you understand your options.

No-Lecture Care
Focused on Smiles That Work
Dr. Chris Lillenberg
I’m a general dentist who enjoys taking care of patients of all needs and stages of care. I have a special interest in dentures and dental implants, because I see every day how a complete, comfortable smile can change the way someone feels about their life.
My goal as a dentist? I want you to feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for every time you visit.
From the Ambulance to the Dental Chair
Before I became a dentist, I worked as an EMT-Paramedic. I was with people on some of the hardest days of their lives, often for just a short ride to the hospital.
I loved helping in those moments, but I missed the chance to build real, long-term relationships. I wanted a way to care for people where I could see them again, talk with them, and watch their health and confidence improve over time.
Dentistry gave me that.
I have always liked working with my hands, fixing things, and building projects. I enjoy woodworking and creating things from scratch, so dentistry felt natural to me. It lets me combine careful, detailed work with problem-solving and personal connection.

More About Dr. Lillenberg
How I Care for You
When you sit in my chair, I want you to feel safe and understood.
I take time to:
- Listen to your story and your concerns
- Understand your goals for your smile and health
- Explain options in plain language
- Help you choose a plan that fits your life
You will not be judged for how long it has been since your last visit or what your teeth look like now. Many patients arrive nervous or embarrassed. They often leave saying, “That was much easier than I expected.”
I believe in gentle, honest dentistry. I want you to feel that I treat you the same way I would treat a member of my own family.
Education and Professional Background
I graduated magna cum laude from Creighton University School of Dentistry. During that time, I was honored to be inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon and Alpha Sigma Nu honor societies.
After dental school, I completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency with the U.S. Air Force and served as chief resident. My service in the Air Force taught me discipline, teamwork, and how to provide high-quality care in many different situations. I was awarded the USAF Commendation Medal for Meritorious Service, which is something I am very proud of.
To stay current with advances in dentistry, I am involved with:
- Academy of General Dentistry
- American Dental Association
- North Carolina Dental Association
These organizations help me bring proven, modern techniques and thoughtful care to every appointment.
Giving Back to the Community
I volunteer with Mission of Mercy dental clinics, where we provide free dental care to people who might not otherwise be able to see a dentist. These events remind me why this work matters so much. Everyone deserves relief from pain and the chance to smile without worry.
A Family Man Outside the Office
At home, I am a husband and a dad to four kids. Family is very important to me, and it shapes the way I practice. I know how busy life can be, and I know how much trust it takes to choose a dentist.
When you come to see me, my hope is that you feel welcomed, never rushed, and confident that you are in good hands. I would be honored to care for you and give you a smile you can be proud of.

Denture Stabilization: A More Secure Option
If you already have dentures—or plan to get them—stabilization with dental implants can make a major difference.
Denture stabilization uses a small number of implants to help anchor dentures in place.
- Less slipping or movement
- Improved comfort while eating
- Reduced reliance on adhesives
- A more secure, confident feel
Many patients say stabilized dentures feel more like natural teeth and allow them to enjoy foods they’ve avoided for years.
