We Are Your New York City Cosmetic Dentists!

Dear Patients,


Dental disease is preventable and you can practice preventive dentistry on yourself by adopting these healthy habits:

• always remember to brush your teeth at least twice a day;
• floss between teeth at least once a day;
• eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks;
• don't forget to schedule regular dental visits.

However, should you fail to implement these healthy habits in your daily routine, with time the results is loosing teeth. There are actually several negative consequences of missing some or all of your teeth. First, missing teeth will affect the aesthetics of your face. Not only will your smile be affected by the gaps from missing teeth, but if you’re missing too many teeth, the skin around your mouth won’t be supported properly and will start to sag, making you appear older than you are.

Additionally, missing teeth will make it more difficult to chew your food properly, absorb the nutrients, hence deteriorate your overall health and may even affect the way you speak, making you feel less confident about your smile. If you are currently missing any of your teeth, you should consider replacing them with dental implants, which can look and feel just like natural teeth.

Denture Repair NYC

Why you should not do a denture repair at home?

Many patients believe super glue is the same type of material used by their dentist, but  we assure you this is not the case!  Please do not try to glue back missing teeth or fix cracked or damaged dentures at home.  Glue and denture repair kits sold over-the-counter often contain harmful chemicals and should not be used on dentures. When a patient attempts to repair their broken denture at home, they can not assure proper alignment. Home remedies are typically short term, will not hold and when you bring it to The Denture Center, it may no longer be repairable.  Most dentists, without a fully staffed denture laboratory with dental technicians, can only do a chair side office repair with cold cured acrylic.  Our lab, at The Denture Center, offers laboratory processed acrylic repairs that are heat  cured in a approximately two hours-this is a much stronger, more definitive repair.
If you find yourself with broken dentures, please call us! Our professional dentist and dental technicians will fix the dentures using high quality dental materials to ensure satisfaction and proper fit and comfort. Our denture lab is on the premises and this allows us to complete the repairs in just a couple of hours. In the meantime you could enjoy our cozy reception area and refreshments, or take advantage of the great shopping area which surrounds Herald Square. Let us help you, this is what we have been doing since 1977!
