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!
Best Regards,

Do your dentures fit?
Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia, Dr. Song
Age brings wisdom and the benefit of a unique perspective that can only be achieved through your life experiences. It can be a beautiful thing. Unfortunately, it also brings with it dental problems that may only be resolved with dentures. Okay, you have false teeth. That should be the end of it, right? Wrong. Your dentures will never change (assuming you don't play hockey or plan on running over them any time soon), but your mouth will.
The gum ridges in our mouths can shrink with age, which causes dentures to become loose. Bone can also shrink, causing jaws not to line up properly. Ill fitting dentures can cause sore spots in your mouth and stomach problems, the result of not being able to chew food properly. A loose denture could also cause changes in your facial features, not to mention become a nuisance the next time you go sky diving.
If your dentures are loose, painful or just don't feel right, call our office for a consultation. They may need to be adjusted, relined or completely remade (if they are completely worn out). You may have noticed some products that claim to fix unsavvy dentures. When we make repairs in our own on site dental lab right here in the heart of New York, we use quality materials that are only available to dentists. Over the counter product often contain harsh chemicals that only make matters worse.
If you're not satisfied with the look or feel of your dentures, please don't hesitate to call our office at 212-689-0024 conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan for an evaluation! It's important to keep future dental appointments as well so that your fit can be continually evaluated and you can be screened for oral cancer and gum disease. Your health and comfort are important to us; we ensure you we will give you a reason to smile!

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!
