Full and Partial Dentures in NYC

NYC Denture Specialist

 

What is the difference between a full and partial denture?

Partial dentures are used when you’re missing some but not all of your teeth. They use plates and sometimes clips to stay in place in your mouth. Full dentures replace all your teeth and remain in place with adhesives. Full dentures can also be attached to dental implant posts for a more secure fit.

What are flexi-partials?

Flexi-partial is another term for a flexible partial denture. These dentures are made from very lightweight, flexible materials, resulting in a partial denture that’s much more comfortable to wear. Flexi-partials also don’t use metal clips to attach, and they come in different base colors to match your own gum tissue so they’re invisible while being worn. Plus, they’re metal free and hypoallergenic, with none of the chemicals used in traditional rigid plastic dentures.

I plan on having implants; can I have temporary dentures until then?

Yes, our office offers temporary dentures that can be made on the same day your teeth are removed. If you’re having implants, it can take several weeks while the post that’s implanted into your jaw fuses with the bone tissue to become strong enough to support the artificial tooth. Temporary dentures can be made on-site and worn right away until your implants are ready.

How long will it take me to feel comfortable wearing a denture?

That depends on the type of denture you have. Partial dentures don’t take as long to adjust to as full dentures, and full dentures attached to implants are typically easier to get used to than dentures that rely on adhesives to remain in place. To adjust as quickly as possible, wear your dentures as often as directed and try reading aloud to let your tongue and gums get used to the feeling and pressure of the dentures. Most patients are fully adjusted within less than two weeks.

Testimonials

Can’t say enough good things about this place. We found this place because my partner had a dental emergency and no insurance. We both have dentist phobias that have prevented us from keeping on top of our teeth cleanings etc. and so we don’t have a regular one to go to in situations like this. I looked for the highest rated dentist in the city on Google and found this place, which mentions specialty in caring for emergencies on their site. And so I got him in the door based on that. They spoke the truth! They were so kind, patient, caring and non judgmental for my partner, it made me want to go in for my own cleaning and care. Now we’ve referred several people since! I personally have been seeing Dr. Reddy, who is a gem of a human who seems to enjoy her work. my friends have seen other dentists here and we’ve all had the best experience here and think ours is the best. :) Since it was years since my cleaning, I did need some work done over the last couple months or so and I made it to all of them. Instead of anxiety and maybe occasionally postponing as I would do in the past, I almost looked forward to my appointments. They made all the costs and insurance coverage completely clear and transparent and gave me choices. I commute from Bushwick but it’s been so worth it. If you are looking for the dentist, this is your place!

Amazing service. I had a abcess develop while in NYC. The 209 clinic saw me same day for an effortless service. It was a third of the price of some of the dentists in mid town. Highly recommend

This is a wonderful dental office with very professional and friendly staff and up to date technology. They took me at a very short notice when I needed emergency dental work, they were so nice and accommodating. The office itself is bright and modern, all staff are welcoming! All doctors are absolutely fantastic! The best part is that they have all Dental specialists at that office, so they’ll be able to help you with any dental issue without you leaving the office. I highly recommend 209 NYC Dental!
