Losing your natural teeth can feel overwhelming—but at Shine Dental Associates in Syosset, NY, our immediate dentures solution means you don’t have to spend a single day without your smile. Whether you need full or partial tooth replacement, immediate dentures offer a fast, functional, and aesthetically pleasing option that restores confidence and function on the same day your teeth are removed.
Immediate dentures are temporary, complete, or partial dentures placed immediately after your teeth are extracted. Instead of waiting weeks or months for healing before wearing a denture, these are custom-made and ready to be inserted the same day. This prevents you from going without teeth during your healing period and helps maintain your facial appearance and speaking ability.
If you’re facing the loss of multiple teeth or a full arch, immediate dentures can be an excellent transitional solution. They’re ideal for patients who want to maintain appearance and functionality while healing or who aren’t quite ready for dental implants.

Dentures are a life-changing solution for those who have lost their natural teeth. They offer functional and aesthetic benefits. However, proper denture care is essential to enjoy these benefits fully. In this guide, we’ll cover crucial tips for keeping your dentures clean, maintaining them with regular dental visits, and knowing when to repair or reline them.
Like natural teeth, dentures require daily cleaning to prevent plaque buildup, bad breath, and potential infections. Here’s how to keep your dentures clean and fresh:
Even if you wear complete dentures, regular dental visits are crucial. Your dentist will check the fit of your dentures, examine your oral tissues for signs of irritation or infection, and perform oral cancer screenings. These visits are vital to ensuring your dentures remain comfortable and effective.
During these visits, your dentist may also:
Dentures are durable but not indestructible. Knowing when to repair or reline them can save you from discomfort and extend the life of your dentures.

Board certified periodontist Dr. Vikas Mittle discusses how to treat periodontal disease to regain the health of your teeth and gums with home maintenance (brushing and flossing) as well as more aggressive treatments such as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning).
Patients often ask whether dental implants are covered by insurance. The answer is that it depends.
Many companies that provide dental insurance maintain that dental implants are a cosmetic dental procedure and not “necessary” and, therefore, not covered. However, there are a few insurance providers that do cover implants to some extent. It just depends on your insurance carrier.
Another question we get asked frequently is whether a patient planning on having implants placed can switch from an insurance provider that does not cover implants to one that does.

If you have loose teeth, if your gums bleed…this may be a serious problem because you may have periodontal disease, or bone loss around your teeth.
Bone is what stabilizes your teeth together and if your gums bleed you may have inflammation and bone destruction.
This is a very serious problem that can not only effect your teeth and possibly lead to complete loss of your teeth, but it can also have negative consequences for your overall health because there is a strong relationship between periodontal disease and heart disease, diabetes, kidney problems, and more, as Board Certified Periodontist, Dr. Vikas Mittle explains in this video…
The important thing to remember is to NOT let periodontal problems wait to be treated.
Treating periodontal issues is simple. Proper treatment of the gums can not only save your teeth but also improve your overall health and well being.
Periodontal treatment is pain-free. It does not require a long recovery time. In fact, you can receive periodontal treatment and then go to work the same day having to take Tylonol or Motrin for any discomfort.
You can receive a FREE complimentary consultation with Board Certified Periodontist, Dr. Vikas Mittle of Shine Dental Associates in Syosset by calling (516) 348-8500.
