Missing teeth don’t have to limit what you eat or how you smile. At Blue Dental Clinic on the Upper East Side, we design dentures that look natural, feel secure, and support long-term oral health—from traditional full and partial dentures to implant-supported solutions.

Why choose us for dentures

• Prosthodontic-led planning: Meticulous bite analysis, esthetics, and fit.
• All options under one roof: Full, partial, immediate, and implant-supported overdentures.
• Natural esthetics: Tooth shade/shape customized to your face and smile line.
• Comfort & clarity: Gentle techniques, transparent timelines, and insurance-friendly estimates.

Denture options we offer

• Full (complete) dentures: Replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. Available as conventional (after healing) or immediate (placed the day teeth are removed, then adjusted as you heal).
• Partial dentures: Replace several missing teeth while preserving your remaining natural teeth. Options include metal framework, acrylic, and flexible bases.
• Implant-supported overdentures: Snap-in dentures that attach to implants for improved stability, chewing efficiency, and confidence.
• Fixed full-arch on implants (All-on-X): A non-removable bridge supported by implants for maximum security and function.

What to expect: the treatment process

1. Consultation & records: Health review, imaging, impressions/scans, and smile/bite assessment.
2. Smile design: We select tooth size, shade, and arrangement to complement your features.
3. Try-in appointment(s): Wax mock-ups let us fine-tune esthetics, speech, and bite before finalizing.
4. Delivery: Your custom denture is adjusted for comfort and stability.
5. Follow-ups: Sore-spot checks and bite refinements to help you adapt quickly.

Repairs, relines & maintenance

• Relines/rebases: Refresh the internal fit as gums and bone remodel over time.
• Repairs: Fractures or tooth replacements can often be handled promptly—sometimes the same day.
• Long-term care: Periodic evaluations keep fit, function, and tissue health on track.

Tips for comfort and adaptation

• Expect a short adjustment period for speech and chewing—read aloud at home and start with softer foods.
• Small sore spots are common initially; we’ll adjust promptly.
• Adhesives can help in the short term, but proper fit is the priority.

Daily care

• Rinse after meals, brush denture surfaces with a soft brush (no abrasive toothpaste), and soak nightly in an approved cleanser.
• Clean gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth daily.
• Avoid very hot water, which can warp acrylic.

Cost & insurance

Fees vary by type (full, partial, implant-supported), materials, and any extra steps (extractions, implants, relines). We’re insurance-friendly—our team verifies benefits in advance, provides clear estimates, and files claims on your behalf. Flexible payment options can be discussed.

FAQs

Will my dentures look natural?
Yes. We customize tooth shade, shape, and arrangement to your facial proportions and smile line.

How long do dentures last?
With proper care and periodic relines, many last 5–10 years or longer. Fit changes as tissues remodel, so routine checks matter.

Traditional vs. implant-supported—what’s the difference?
Implant-supported overdentures “snap in” for greater stability and chewing power, and they can help preserve bone. We’ll compare both based on your goals, anatomy, and budget.

Can I get dentures the same day teeth are removed?
Immediate dentures are possible in many cases. Expect follow-up adjustments and a reline as you heal.

Do I sleep with dentures in?
Generally no—give tissues a rest overnight and clean the denture thoroughly.

What if my current denture is loose?
A reline or conversion to an implant-supported option can often improve fit and function.
