Dentures are an option chosen by many of our patients in New Hyde Park, NY. Available in both full and partial, dentures serve as a removable replacement for missing teeth.
If providing you with full dentures, Dr. Amit Pandya will remove all the teeth from your mouth. With conventional dentures, the gums are given time to heal before the dentures are placed, which means that you will not have any teeth for several months. With immediate dentures, you would forgo this healing process with not teeth. Prior to having your teeth removed, the dentist would take measurement of your mouth in order to place dentures immediately after your teeth are removed. This type of full dentures requires a follow-up video to refit the dentures since the jawbone will slightly change shape as your mouth heals without teeth.
Partial dentures are another option for those who do not need all their teeth to be removed. They are similar to bridges, except they are removable.
Whichever dentures our patients choose, they take time getting used to, and even though they are not real teeth, dentures should still be cared for as if they were. They should be brushed before removal and should be placed in room temperature water or cleaning solution overnight.
