Dentist in Fresh MeadowsToday there are several different ways for patients to have their missing teeth replaced. Many patients choose to get dentures to replace the missing teeth for several reasons. Dentures are a cost-effective and easy way to have missing teeth restored. When you get dentures you also did not need to have dental surgery, as you do with dental implants. If you are interested in dental implants our dentist will be able to refer you to an oral surgeon who will surgically insert the implant roots. Our dentist will then provide you with the finished porcelain crown which is permanently attach the dental implant. If you want to meet with our dentist in Fresh Meadows to learn more about getting dentures or dental implants as tooth replacements, contact us at our dental practice, Stuart Shaffren, DDS.
At our dental practice our expert and highly trained dentist in Fresh Meadows is Dr. Stuart Shaffren. Dr. Shaffren has been providing outstanding dental care to patients in our community for over 35 years. Dr. Shaffren is aware of the fact that people have many different preferences for the way they have their teeth restored, and he knows that many people still prefer dentures as the best way to replace their missing teeth. One of the great things about getting dentures is that the process takes a very short time. In contrast, when patients are getting dental implants it can take many months for the procedure to be fully completed. When patients get dentures it is only a matter of days or weeks from the first day they come to our practice for dentures until they walk out with the new dentures comfortably installed in the mouth.
Dentures can be secured in a patient’s mouth by dental implants. Our dentist can also provide fixed or removable bridges which are used to replace individual teeth. A fixed bridge will be attached to adjacent teeth using a cap placed over each tooth. The porcelain restoration crown will be held in the center, with the fixture “bridging” the gap created by the missing tooth. Our dentist can also create full or partial dentures which are removable. A denture will be removed from your mouth several times a day for cleaning and to rest the gums. If you would like to see what our dentist recommends as the best way to fix your missing teeth situation, contact us for an appointment to see our dentist in Fresh Meadows.
