Types of Dentures We Offer
Complete dentures replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth. They rest on the gums and are held in place by suction and a precise fit.
Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while preserving your remaining natural teeth. Learn more on our denture partials page.
Implant-supported dentures snap onto dental implants for superior stability, so there’s no worry about slipping while you eat or speak.
The Denture Process
Your treatment begins with an exam and impressions of your mouth. Dr. Zoya Mitelberg works with you to choose the shape, size, and shade of your new teeth so they complement your facial features. After try-in appointments to check fit and appearance, your final dentures are delivered and adjusted for comfort. If any teeth need to be removed first, we provide gentle extractions.
Caring for Your Dentures
Following your appointment, we’ll provide you with detailed instructions for at-home denture care. Remove and clean your dentures daily, keep them moist when not in use, and continue to brush your gums and tongue. We strongly recommend scheduling follow-up appointments for periodic denture cleanings, fit checks, and oral cancer screenings. Over time, your jaw changes shape, and dentures may need to be relined or adjusted to maintain a secure fit.
