Modern dentures replace missing teeth while improving gum health and are both affordable and well-fitting. It is difficult to chew and speak when you are missing teeth. Your smile isn’t what you want it to be, and you may lose confidence in forming new relationships and seeking new job opportunities as a result. Dental dentures can solve those issues. Dentures of old are nothing like the new dentures offered by the dental team at our dentistry practice.
The materials used to make dentures are now more durable. We select them carefully so that your dentures look natural and fit comfortably. Affordable dentures can completely transform your smile while also improving your dental health.
Dental Dentures and Your Health
Our dentists, Dr. Alexander Bokser and Dr. Irene Bokser, always try to keep your natural teeth first, but it’s not always possible. You may lose your original teeth for a variety of reasons, including:
Years of improper dental care
An accident in which your teeth were knocked out or broken
Inheriting dental problems
Physical ailments that compromise your oral health
Drug abuse and smoking
Since your family dentist also is a certified cosmetic dentist, he will provide you with basic dental treatments before recommending more complex procedures like dental dentures. The team at our dental practice understands your budget constraints, dental history, and appearance goals, making them best suited to create a plan that serves your best interests.
Denture Options
There are various types of dental dentures. Which one is best for you ultimately depends on how many teeth you’ve lost. At Precision Dental NYC, you’ll have access to:
Traditional dentures are ideal when the dentist needs to extract all of your teeth. Once you’ve healed, your doctor can make your dentures. It may take up to 12 weeks, so temporary dentures are usually made available.
Same-day dentures are also called one-day dentures or immediate dentures. We create them before the extraction of any teeth. And while you walk out the same day with your new teeth, you may have to return several times to get them adjusted correctly.
Flexible dentures are malleable and quickly conform to your mouth’s shape. These are more comfortable for many people to wear. Flexible dentures are available as a complete set or as partial dentures.
Partial dentures are ideal when the specialist can save some of your original teeth. They often are attached to a bridge. A bridge can be cemented permanently or designed to be removable.
Please schedule a one-on-one consultation with one of our dentists to determine which type of dentures will work best for you.
The Skinny on Denture Implants
Denture implants are quickly becoming the go-to option for replacing missing teeth. To attach artificial teeth to implants they use a snap-on, removable system. You get a more natural look and don’t have to worry about slippage. They also reduce rubbing that can cause discomfort and abrasions on your gums. It’s easier to talk with denture implants, too, since they’re so secure.
Denture implants do raise the cost of your dentures. Because you have to have surgery to insert the implant posts, they are not available as same-day dentures. However, because of their superior functionality, they are worth the extra denture cost.
Denture Repair When You Need It
Fixed and secured denture implants are ideal if your lifestyle tends to put you at a higher risk of accidents. At the same time, denture repair technology has made it possible for our dental team to repair them quickly, regardless of the type of dentures you wear.
Reduce denture repair expenses by following the care instructions you receive. Common problems that often lead to the need for denture repair include:
Chipping due to facial trauma or sports injuries
Being dropped onto a hard surface
Wearing down over time
Not being cleaned every day
Our dental team is here to help you regain comfort and normal dental function by utilizing the most advanced dental repair methods available.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Benefits of Dentures?
Dentures are ideal for those seeking affordable ways to replace missing teeth. We can also repair and secure loose dentures that have made it harder to speak, eat or smile confidently. Conventional dentures are placed in the mouth four weeks after the specialist extracts your teeth to allow the team time to heal, whereas we place immediate dentures immediately. The main drawback of immediate dentures is that they are likely to require more adjustment after healing. Dentures are only likely to hurt when the specialist has fitted improperly, which is why we take numerous steps to ensure you can enjoy the perfect fit from the start. Dentures can also help you look younger by supporting the structure of your face.
What Is the Process for Getting Dentures?
You will undergo a consultation to see whether dentures are right for you. If they are, we will decide which dentures to use. Our dentist will treat your teeth and gums to ensure good health before fitting your dentures. After that, they will take mold and design the dentures to suit your gums and jaws. Once your dentures are ready, we will contact you to arrange a time to feet the new teeth.
If the dentures fit, they can be held in place by natural gum suction, but you may want to consider getting an implant to give you more control over activities like speaking and eating. It can take one or two months for you to become used to your dentures. You should start to see problems like excessive saliva disappear once you have become more familiar with the feeling of having dentures in your mouth.
