Dentures

An important part of maintaining a healthy smile is replacing missing teeth. When teeth are missing, those remaining change position and shift into the surrounding spaces, which can cause damage to the tissues in the mouth, as well as create crooked teeth that are difficult to clean. The risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease becomes higher and that can lead to the loss of adjacent teeth.

Partial Dentures

A removable partial denture from our Yorktown Heights, NY offce will fill in the space created by missing teeth and will fill out your healthy smile. A partial denture will also help you to chew food properly, to pronounce words more clearly, and will give your entire face a more youthful appearance.

Removable partial dentures attach to your natural teeth with precision attachments, which are very secure clasps that are nearly invisible. Crowns on your natural teeth can improve the fit of the dentures and are usually required with the attachments.

It takes an average of just two to four visits to our office to complete a removable partial denture. These visits allow us to try the dentures in your mouth during the various stages of construction to ensure that each stage is completed correctly.


Full Dentures

Replacing missing teeth has substantial benefits for your health and appearance. Full dentures replace all of your missing teeth and provide support for your cheeks and lips. This dramatically improves your ability to speak and eat.

There are two types of full dentures:

Conventional Dentures which are made and inserted after all remaining teeth are removed and the tissues have healed.

Immediate Dentures which are made and inserted immediately after the remaining teeth have been removed. Many people prefer to take advantage of the immediate dentures so they are not without teeth during the healing process.
