Implant-Supported Dentures in Midtown Manhattan, NYC

Replace Missing Teeth with Implant Dentures

Losing teeth can be a very distressing experience. It can impact your ability to eat and speak clearly thereby, making you self-conscious. At Herald Square Dental, nestled in the heart of Manhattan’s Midtown, we understand the importance of restoring your smile and oral function with precision and care. Our esteemed team of dentists, renowned experts in dentures and implant dentistry, is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality care.

One popular solution we offer is implant-supported dentures, meticulously crafted in our in-house laboratory. This hallmark approach ensures that every aspect of your treatment is overseen with the utmost attention to detail. Unlike traditional dentures, our implant-supported dentures provide greater stability and durability, enhancing your chewing and building confidence.

Implant Dentures vs. Dentures

Traditional dentures rely on suction or adhesive for stability, often leading to discomfort and limitations in chewing. Implant-supported dentures are anchored securely to dental implants expertly placed in the jaw. This provides a natural feel and prevents issues like slippage or irritation commonly associated with conventional dentures.

Many of our NYC new denture patients that are missing or loosing most or all of their teeth, prefer the idea of implant-supported dentures over full arch dental implants because it seems the perfect compromise. They appreciate their new found confidence and improved chewing as well as the natural look and comfortable feel that the implants give them while still being able to remove their traditional dentures that attach (also known as overdentures) so that they may continue to take them out to clean them.

What If I’m Missing All of My Lower Teeth?

When all lower teeth are missing, several implant denture options are available:

Ball Attachment Denture

This technique involves placing implants in the jawbone, which connect to metal attachments on the denture. The ball-and-socket mechanism provides additional stability and allows for easy removal and cleaning of the denture.

Bar Attachment Denture

A custom metal bar is attached to multiple jawbone implants (usually 4-6). The denture is then secured onto the bar, distributing pressure evenly across the implants for enhanced stability and comfort. Bar-attachment denture implants give you greater bite force than traditional dentures and are a very stable option for removable implant-supported dentures. In NYC, we routinely place bar-attachment dentures for individuals who are attracted to the stability and permanence of dental implants.

Screw Retained Denture

In this method, the denture is screwed directly onto the implants, offering the most secure fit. This option is particularly suitable for patients seeking maximum stability without sacrificing comfort. Unlike other implant-supported dentures, screw-retained implant dentures are permanently attached. However, the denture doesn’t touch the gums, allowing you to clean under the denture without removing it. Although cleaning under your denture without removing it is more time-consuming and requires more dexterity, patients who want a permanent denture prefer this option.

What If I’m Missing All of My Upper Teeth?

For patients missing all upper teeth, an implant-retained upper denture may be recommended:

Implant Retained Upper Denture

Like the lower denture options, implants are strategically placed in the upper jawbone to support the denture. This prevents the need for the palate portion of the denture that usually covers the roof of the mouth. This enhances comfort and gives a more natural feeling when eating and speaking.

Implant Denture Benefits

We offer dental implant dentures to our patients as an alternative to both traditional dentures and permanent dental implants due to their numerous, unique benefits, including:

Cost-effectiveness Implant dentures need fewer implants than other dental implant options, making them more affordable.
Less need for bone grafting. The placement of the implants is angled for maximum stability without the need for bone grafts. Sometimes grafting or APRF is required.
Quicker healing. The replacement denture can be attached immediately after implant placement, dramatically reducing your treatment timeline.
