Do I Need Dentures?
If you have multiple decaying or missing teeth, partial or full dentures may be the right solution. Our custom dentures restore your full bite pattern through prosthetic teeth that replace severely compromised or missing teeth. We understand that many people have strong preferences on the type of dental restoration they want, which is why we offer both traditional and implant-supported dentures to renew your ability to eat, speak, and smile with ease.
What Is an Obturator?
An obturator is a dental prosthesis that recreates the soft palate and creates the necessary barrier between your mouth and nose for proper eating, speaking, and swallowing. This custom restoration is helpful if you've experienced trauma or surgery that impacts the dental structures, specifically your palate.
Traditional Full and Partial Dentures
Traditional full and partial dentures consist of prosthetic teeth set in a comfortable acrylic base that mimics the appearance of healthy gum tissue. Full dentures replace an entire arch of your top, bottom, or both arches of teeth. Partial dentures are a great solution if you have a few healthy teeth remaining because they fit around your natural teeth to create an even appearance. Both full and partial conventional dentures are held in place by suction or denture adhesive.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are unique because they are held in place by strategically placed implant posts. The posts anchor your dentures, so you don't have to use denture adhesive or worry about them falling out. One of the benefits of dental implants is that the posts work like the roots of your natural teeth and stimulate your jawbone. This helps to prevent bone loss and preserves your facial structure. The implant-supported dentures consist of prosthetic teeth set in a soft acrylic base that looks like healthy gum tissue, and they're held in place by implant posts made from a body-safe material like titanium.
Our Dentures Process
We believe that every smile is unique and deserves individualized care. That's why we provide custom dentures and obturators that fit you and your specific needs. We take the time to get to know you and ask questions to determine which type of dentures best fits your concerns, lifestyle, and smile goals.
Our Great Neck dentist performs a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and jaws, including gathering images and measurements with modern technology like intraoral scanners and panoramic x-rays. You can trust that we'll artfully match your prosthetic teeth to the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth to create a beautifully blended smile. We'll review the information with you and discuss your treatment options so you know what results you can expect after your dental services.
For those who select traditional dentures, we send your information and measurements to a trusted lab where your dentures are created. Once your full or partial dentures arrive, you'll visit us for a final fitting, where we check to ensure your dentures fit and feel comfortable. If you choose implant-supported dentures, a trusted oral surgeon will place the implant posts. Once you've healed, we'll secure your dentures, and you'll be ready to smile confidently.
Dentures FAQs
Restoring your smile can seem like a complicated process, and it's natural to have questions. That's why we encourage you to share your questions and concerns. Our compassionate team is happy to provide the answers and resources you need to make an informed decision regarding your treatment plan. Here are some of the most common questions we receive about full and partial dentures in Great Neck:
Do I have to avoid certain foods with dentures?
Yes. While traditional and implant-supported dentures restore your ability to enjoy most of your favorite foods, it's best to avoid sticky foods like caramel and hard foods like ice, certain nuts, and hard candy.
How do I take care of my dentures?
Traditional dentures should be removed and placed in a denture solution daily, typically when you go to bed, to keep the acrylic soft and the dentures in good condition. If you have implant-supported dentures, then you brush and floss them twice daily just like your natural teeth.
How long do dentures last?
Dentures are durable and can last for a decade or longer when you care for them properly. If you have implant-supported dentures, the implant posts are permanent because they fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
