If you’re experiencing tooth loss, you’re experiencing many other losses, including loss of facial structure, confidence, and food choices to name a few. Whether you lost your teeth due to health issues, aging, hygiene problems, or injury, dentures are a great option for just about everyone. You deserve to feel the confidence that a great smile can give you, and we want to help you reach that milestone.
At Greene Street Dental, we use advanced technology to design custom-fitted dentures that feel and look as much like your natural teeth as possible. Using the iTero intraoral scanner, we can take precise measurements of your remaining teeth and gums in the office. Our restorative dentist will use the scans to design your brand-new smile.
Dentures are some of the most versatile tooth replacement options on the market because they can be custom-fitted to the shapes of your gums and designed to accommodate any remaining teeth.
What Are Dentures Made of?
Modern dentures are often made out of plastic, so they’re easy and relatively inexpensive to replace. Not to mention, acrylic and nylon dentures are extremely lightweight, so you don’t feel like your teeth are going to get weighed down and fall out as you might with the heavy rubber dentures of the past.
The dentures of today are plastic, but some may use metal wings to secure to existing teeth. These materials come together to form several different kinds of dentures:
If you’re looking into tooth replacement, it’s a good idea to weigh your options to decide which is the best long-term option for you. Implants are a great alternative for many people, but they aren’t for everyone. For example, some patients may be ineligible for implants if they have extensive bone loss or gum recession due to periodontal disease.
If you have the choice between two similar options, here are some comparisons of some of the most important features:
When you come in for your dental exam, we will be transparent with you about your options, the benefits, and whether dentures are right for you. We can even go over your insurance and payment options to ensure you’re getting your budget’s worth.

The office is efficient, friendly and so close to my home. I liked the dentist very much. He made me laugh and I would trust him to perform dental work unlike my last dentist.

Very friendly and not judgemental after I came in after several years of not seeing a dentist. Front office staff was also very nice and accommodating with scheduling. Overall a very pleasant experience. It was a relaxed setting and I’d recommend going if you’re anxious after a long time without seeing a dentist.

This practice is fantastic with kids. Our hygienist Nishu was thorough and patient with our two year old and his very first dentist visit ended up being a breeze. The office is prompt and staff are always friendly. Highly recommend this practice for both adults and kids.
