Dentures

Affordable, Custom Dentures in the New York Metro Area

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile, function, and confidence. Whether you’ve lost some or all of your teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury, dentures can help you eat, speak, and smile naturally again.

Modern dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably and look incredibly natural. They’re crafted from high-quality materials that mimic the appearance of real teeth and gums. There are two main types: full dentures (which replace all teeth on the upper or lower jaw) and partial dentures (which fill in gaps when you still have some natural teeth remaining).

With proper care, dentures can last many years and dramatically improve your quality of life.

Why Are Dentures Important?

Dentures do more than just fill gaps in your smile — they restore critical oral functions and protect your long-term health. Dentures are:

• Restorative: They allow you to chew food properly, improving nutrition and digestion.
• Functional: They help you speak clearly without the slurring or mumbling that missing teeth can cause.
• Protective: They prevent remaining teeth from shifting and maintain your facial structure.
• Confidence-boosting: A complete smile improves self-esteem and social comfort.
• Affordable: Compared to implants or bridges, dentures offer an accessible solution for tooth replacement.

Living with missing teeth can lead to bone loss, difficulty eating, and social embarrassment. Dentures address all of these concerns in one practical, affordable solution.s.

What Happens During a Dentures Appointment?

Getting dentures is a multi-step process designed to ensure the perfect fit and appearance. Here’s what to expect at Avalon Dental:

1. Initial Consultation: Your dentist evaluates your oral health, discusses your goals, and determines whether full or partial dentures are right for you.
2. Impressions & Measurements: Detailed molds of your mouth are taken to create dentures that fit precisely.
3. Try-In Appointment: You’ll try on a wax model to check the fit, bite, and appearance before the final dentures are made.
4. Final Fitting: Your custom dentures are delivered, adjusted for comfort, and you’ll receive instructions on care and use.
5. Follow-Up Visits: We’ll schedule check-ins to ensure proper fit and make any needed adjustments as your mouth adapts.

The entire process typically takes a few weeks, but the result is a comfortable, natural-looking smile you’ll be proud to show off.

Dentures are an excellent option for anyone who has lost multiple teeth or is facing full tooth extraction. They’re ideal for:
