Dentures Astoria, Queens, NYC
A denture or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth, replaces natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips.Most dentures are made of acrylic and can be fabricated two different ways.
- A conventional denture is made after all teeth have been extracted and the tissues (gums) have healed.
- An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after the teeth are extracted and the tissues are allowed to heal under the denture.
- An upper denture has acrylic, usually flesh colored, that covers the palate (roof of the mouth).
- A lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to leave room for the tongue.
The teeth are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination thereof. Dentures can be fabricated to fit over endodonticly treated teeth and a complete denture can be attached to dental implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance.
Dentures over a normal course of time will wear and need to be replaced or relined in order to keep the jaw alignment normal. The alignment will slowly change as the bone and gum ridges recede or shrink due to the extraction of the teeth. Regular dentist examinations are still important for the denture wearer so that the oral tissues can be checked for disease or change.

My husband, Romeo Ghioalda and I, Luminita Ghioalda, went to Professional Dental Associates two weeks ago, however we have known Dr. Bernard Rupnarain for many years prior. His work always was amazing and we both experienced no pain during or after the procedures. I had an implant procedure two weeks ago and I am grateful for the beautiful work and no side effects or pain whatsoever. Dr. Bernard and his associates are very professional and have a great working environment. He is amazing with very work of dentistry and a great doctor and we recommend him for any future appointments. We love him!

I don't have words to describe how happy I am with this place. When you find a professional that can speak your language (portuguese) and you feel comfortable with no problem or misunderstanding. I needed them, they treated me good since when I called to schedule the appointment until the date I went there. Anabel, Beatriz, Dr. Luciana and the other professionals are very good. I thank you for everything.

Genuinely the nicest people who work there! They differently wanted to educate you on exactly what they were doing and what to involve you on the process. I've never had an experience so thorough. They made me feel like family and never scared to be there. At other places I've been risked through and felt like another patient to be seen in the day. Not here! I will always continue to go back as long as I live in this city!
