Dentures are a form of dental prosthesis that replaces either some or all of a patient’s missing teeth. With the use of dental implants, an “overdenture” can be made to “lock in” to implants placed into the jaw bone. Getting dentures can be a big decision. There are several factors to consider and we are happy to discuss your options with you at your next consultation. It can sometimes take some time for you to get used to eating and talking naturally after having dentures placed. Although dentures are false teeth, they still need to be cared for the same way that you would care for your natural teeth. Dentures require brushing and flossing on a regular basis. Please call 16 Park Dental Care to find out if dentures are the best solution for you to restore your smile!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between dentures and an overdenture?
Traditional dentures rest on the gums, while an overdenture is designed to “lock in” to dental implants placed in the jawbone for added stability and comfort. Your dentist can help you decide which option fits your needs.
How do I care for my dentures?
Even though dentures are not natural teeth, they should be brushed and cleaned daily and removed at night as directed. Regular checkups help ensure your dentures continue to fit comfortably.
What Our Patients Say
“Dr. Cutlatsakes is very professional and easy going. I asked him several in depth questions about dental hygiene and was very satisfied with all of his answers, and how he made me feel like he had all the time in the world to discuss them. His office is beautiful, and the views are amazing. You look out one of the pointed triangle windows inside the arches of the Chrysler Building as he does his thing. Would definitely recommend him.”
“Dr. Antonio was fantastic. He really cared about my medical history and took the time to explain everything he was doing. Also the view from the 69th floor of the Empire State Building is phenomenal!”
