Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!
While you have seen a number of long time denture wearing patients, many of our patients wonder if dentures are right for them. Here are some common questions with answers about dentures, which may clarify a lot of the questions you may have.
What are dentures? What types of dentures are there?
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. If they are replacing all of your teeth on the corresponding jaw, they are called complete / full dentures. If they are replacing only a few missing teeth, they are called partial dentures. There are a few types of partial dentures depending on the type of material used to make them- acrylic, with metal base or valplast, also know as flexi-partial. There is a hybrid type of partial called flexi-frame. Depending on which teeth are being replaced, and the space the doctor may recommend a specific type of partial as you most optimal solution for teeth replacement.
What is the difference between conventional dentures and immediate dentures?
Conventional dentures are dentures that are made and placed after the remaining teeth
are removed and the tissues have healed. Immediate dentures are dentures that are
placed immediately after the removal of the remaining teeth.
What is an over-denture?
An over-denture is a denture that fits over a small number of remaining natural teeth or
implants.
What do dentures cost?
Generally having a denture, whether complete or a partial, is the most affordable way to replace missing teeth. Of course, there are a number of options available, however once a cost comparison is made dentures are the most affordable way to bring back your smile without spending a fortune!

Oral Health for Seniors
Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!
The good habits of effective daily brushing, diet, and use of fluoride will help the aging person adapt to changing conditions. Reduced salivary flow and addition of medications will affect oral health dramatically.
Changes of the teeth and gums: Teeth will darken because of long-term exposure to plaque and changes in the dentin within the tooth. The gums may recede and uncover the roots. Exposed roots will be darker than the enamel part of the tooth and are prone to decay. Fillings can decay and darken, too, as they weaken over time.
"Dry Mouth" may develop: Saliva is useful to lubricate, wash away plaque, and neutralize the acid produced by plaque. Flow of saliva can be reduced by a medical disorder or be a side effect of antihistamine, decongestants, pain killers or diuretics.
The build-up of plaque will accelerate tooth decay. There will also be more gum infection which will cause a loss of bone support for the teeth. Poorly-fitting or poorly-cleaned dentures, illness, and some medications increase the severity of the problem.
For more information regarding dental problems of seniors, please call our office at 212-689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com today.
Best Regards,
Herald Square Dental
& The Denture Center
P.S. If you have any friends or family members who you feel could use our services, please don't hesitate to have them call us. We'll be sure to take good care of them.

Dentures and Good Oral Hygiene
Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!
Want to know more about taking care of your dentures? Here you go!
- How do you clean your dentures?
When cleaning your dentures, you should first rinse away loose food particles thoroughly. Then moisten your toothbrush and apply denture cleanser. Brush every surface, scrubbing gently to avoid damage.
- How many times a day does the denture need to be cleaned?
The denture needs to be cleaned two to three times daily.
- What is good oral hygiene when you have full dentures?In addition to taking care of your dentures, taking care of your mouth also is vital if you wear full dentures. This includes brushing your gums, tongue, and palate every morning with a soft-bristled brush before inserting your dentures. This stimulates your tissues and helps remove plaque.
-What is the proper denture care when not being worn?
Dentures need to be kept moist when not being worn so they do not dry out or lose their shape. When not worn, dentures should be placed in a denture cleanser soaking solution or in water. However, if the denture has metal attachments, the attachments could tarnish if placed in a soaking solution.
-Are There Alternatives to Dentures?
Yes, dental implants can be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. The cost is usually greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble the feel of real teeth. Dental implants are becoming the alternative to dentures but not everyone is a candidate for implants. Consult your dentist for advice.
-Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Dentures?
Most dental insurance providers cover some or all of the cost of dentures. However, contact either your dental insurance company to find out the specifics of what they will cover or our insurance coordinator to have your benefits clarified.
If you have any additional questions regarding dentures, please call our office at 212-689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com today. You can trust us, we have been doing this since 1977!
