Full and Partial Dentures in Mount Kisco, Kent and Stamford

Is it right for you

When dentures make sense.

Custom full and partial dentures are a fast, affordable way to eat, speak and smile comfortably again.

Tooth loss is more than a cosmetic problem. Teeth shift, gums become more vulnerable and favorite foods get harder to eat. Dentures replace missing teeth quickly, without surgery, and help preserve the shape of your face.

They are a good fit if you have lost some or most of your teeth and want an affordable, quicker option than a bridge or implants. If you are weighing options, we explain each one honestly and your exam decides what is right for you.

Your options

Types of dentures.

We offer the full range.

Partial dentures

A few missing teeth. Replacement teeth sit on a durable metal and plastic framework that clips onto your healthy teeth. They look natural and are a cost-effective way to fill gaps.
Full dentures

An entire upper or lower row, or both. Natural-looking teeth sit in a gum-colored base that fits over your gums. Remaining teeth must be removed first, even if healthy, for a proper fit.
Immediate dentures

A temporary set placed right after teeth are removed, so you are never without teeth while your gums heal.
Implant-supported dentures

Anchored by dental implants for much greater stability. For a fixed option that does not come out, see full-arch implants.

The process

How we make yours.

Exam and plan
Dr. Kwon or Dr. Park examines your mouth and tells you whether dentures are right for you.
Impressions and measurements
We take images, molds and measurements of your teeth and gums, which our partner dental lab uses to build a trial set.
Try-in and adjustments
Your trial dentures usually arrive in a week or two. You try them on, we note what needs to change, and the process repeats until the fit is right.
Usually 1 to 2 weeks
Final dentures
Once the fit is right, the lab makes your final set. You pick them up and receive instructions for wearing and caring for them.

Getting used to them

The first month

It takes about 30 days to adjust. Tender gums, extra saliva and a louder voice are normal at first, and some sounds are harder to pronounce. Reading aloud helps with speech, and soft foods are best for the first month.

Salt water rinses can ease soreness. If something rubs or hurts, call us. Adjustments are part of the process and we want you comfortable.

Daily care

Remove your dentures at night. Wearing them around the clock lets bacteria build up and can irritate your gums. Store them overnight in denture solution so they do not dry out.

Rinse them when you take them out and before you put them back in. Clean them twice a day with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner, covering every surface. Clean your gums with gauze or a soft toothbrush. Never use hot water, which can warp the dentures.

Dentures usually cost less than bridges or implants and are often covered at least in part by dental insurance. Ask the office, or see insurance and financing.
