Dentures
When you’re missing most or all your natural teeth, finding a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution is essential. At Dr. C. Anthony LoPresti’s practice in Staten Island, NY, we specialize in providing high-quality dentures that not only look natural but also function effectively.
Dentures
Dentures are prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base, designed to fit comfortably in your mouth. Whether supported by dental implants or fitted traditionally, dentures can restore your ability to chew and smile confidently. They are an excellent solution for individuals who have lost most or all their teeth due to injury, decay, or other health issues.
We make the process of getting dentures straightforward and comfortable. Typically, you will need four appointments to receive your custom dentures:
- 1st appointment: We gather detailed scans, impressions, and photos to begin crafting your dentures.
- 2nd appointment: We take precise measurements and align your bite for the perfect fit.
- 3rd appointment: You try on a wax model of your dentures for final adjustments and approval.
- 4th appointment: Your completed dentures are fitted, and any necessary adjustments are made.
Let us help you regain your smile with custom-fitted dentures. Schedule a consultation to explore your options.

What type of dentures are best?
Choosing the right type of dentures depends on your specific needs, preferences and budget. Here are the options we offer:
- Traditional Dentures: These removable dentures rely on suction to stay in place and are easy to clean.
- Partial Dentures: Ideal for filling in gaps when some natural teeth remain. They are removable for cleaning and sleeping.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: These snap onto dental implants for added stability and can be easily removed for cleaning. They also help prevent bone loss.
- Fixed Dentures: Permanently attached to dental implants, these dentures offer a natural feel and can last a lifetime with proper care.

How long does it take to get dentures?
Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of dentures. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your specific benefits. Our team can assist you in navigating your insurance options and maximizing your coverage. If your insurance does not cover the full cost, we also offer flexible payment options to help make your dentures affordable.
