Missing teeth can have a strong impact on your daily life, from eating and speaking to the simple pleasure of smiling.

With personalized denture options tailored to your unique needs, we invite you to explore the transformative possibilities of a revitalized smile with our premier tooth replacement dentists in Gramercy Park, NYC.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-crafted prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth, restoring both functionality and aesthetics to your smile. With a precise fit that matches your palette and oral structure, dentures are primarily held in place by suction, or the aid of a dental adhesive or dental implant. This makes them an amazing, noninvasive tooth replacement option that doesn’t require surgery or the altering of surrounding teeth. Depending on the level of tooth loss and personal preferences, there are several types of dentures we provide to meet each individual’s needs:

Full Dentures: Dentures designed to restore full arches, either upper and lower, for patients who lose the majority of their teeth.
Partial Dentures: Best for those with several teeth remaining, partial dentures fill in missing gaps for a natural-appearing smile.
Snap-In Dentures: These dentures use dental implant rods to support them, allowing them to “snap” into place for a secure and removable option.

Best Candidates for Dentures

Ideal candidates for dentures are those dealing with tooth loss, either with complete tooth loss or multiple missing teeth throughout their smile. If a patient is only missing a single tooth or a small number in a single row, a dental bridge or single dental implant may be recommended instead.

It’s important that patients have healthy gums to support a comfortable fit. During a denture consultation, we’ll have our eyes out for any signs of periodontal or gum disease that could affect the restoration. Suitable jawbone health is also necessary to ensure one’s experience with dentures is positive and long-lasting.

Your Denture Treatment from Beginning to End

Your denture process is carefully guided through several stages. Starting with a personalized consultation, we discuss your goals, assess your oral health, and determine the type of dentures best suited to your unique needs. Following this, precise impressions and measurements are taken to create custom dentures that not only fit comfortably but also seamlessly blend with your natural teeth. Once crafted, we ensure a comfortable fit through a process of fitting and adjustments, making necessary modifications to guarantee optimal comfort and functionality.

Better Care for Longer Lasting Dentures

Typically made of a strong acrylic material, dentures are crafted to be durable, comfortable, and long-lasting. That said, they require proper care to keep their strong fit and stay free of bacteria. Maintain the longevity and health of your dentures with these simple tips:

Regular Cleaning: Clean your dentures daily to prevent plaque buildup and maintain a fresh, clean feel.
Handle with Care: Handle your dentures carefully to avoid damage, especially during cleaning and placement.
Rinse After Meals: Rinse your dentures after eating to remove loose food particles. This helps prevent stains and keeps your dentures feeling fresh.
Soak Overnight: To keep your dentures moist and maintain their shape, soak them in water or a denture soaking solution overnight. Avoid using hot water, as it can cause warping.
Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Refrain from using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or bleach, as these can damage your dentures.
