Restore Your Smile and Confidence with NYC Dentures
Losing your teeth can be an embarrassing, frustrating experience. It makes it harder to speak, chew food, and be confident in your day-to-day life. Dentures provide a fast, safe way to regain your smile and your confidence.
Feeling frustrated and embarrassed about tooth loss? Dental implants can restore your smile and confidence. Whether you need an adjustment, traditional dentures, or implant-supported dentures, our team has a board-certified prosthodontist ready to help you.
How Can Dentures Help You?
People need dentures for a variety of reasons:
- Tooth loss
- Traumatic oral injury
- Replacing all of your teeth at one time
- Economical savings
- Sagging facial muscles and profile due to tooth and bone loss
If you’re experiencing tooth loss, the worst thing you can do is nothing. That’s because tooth loss can increase further bone loss, changing the structure of your face and how you talk.
Getting fitted for dentures is a simple solution that can prevent further bone and tooth loss while restoring your facial shape. Plus, you get to eat more types of food!
Types of Dentures
There are a few different types of dentures available. Which one will work for you depends on the extent of your tooth loss and what your prosthodontist recommends.
Partial dentures
These are best for patients who have some of their natural teeth remaining. These dentures come as either fixed (implanted) or removable and function like your natural teeth. A prosthodontist will recommend partial dentures to help keep your natural teeth from shifting after tooth loss.
Complete (or Full) dentures
These are usually recommended when all of the patient’s natural teeth need to be replaced. This can be either in the upper or lower arch. They’re removable and can fit over any existing teeth you may have in your mouth still.
Implant-Supported Dentures
In certain cases, dentures can be retained and secured with traditional or mini dental implants. Implant secured dentures allow you to avoid the use of bothersome adhesives and give you a close fit that keeps you confident all day long.
Denture Fittings in NYC
Your dentures should fit securely in your mouth. Loose-fitting dentures can make it difficult to speak and chew your food. If your dentures move around when you speak or eat, you should book an appointment with a prosthodontist near you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dentures?
These oral appliances are designed to replace missing teeth. They not only improve your smile’s aesthetics but also prevent further bone loss, improve chewing, prevent your remaining teeth from shifting, and enable clear speech.
What tools does your dentist use to make dentures?
Your dentist makes a plaster model of your teeth, which a technician uses to sculpt the denture base and place the teeth. This model is then tested in your mouth for adjustments. Afterward, it’s set in a mold, filled with acrylic to harden, and then polished to create the final denture.
Does Medicare cover dentures?
Original Medicare does not include most dental work, but some Medicare Advantage plans may offer partial or full cover.
