Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is not always accompanied by pain—meaning that patients may not even know that they have it.</p>\n<p>Usually, gum disease is caused by a poor oral hygiene routine that allows an excess of plaque (a sticky film of bacteria) to build up on the teeth. When plaque hardens under the gumline into tartar, it becomes more difficult to remove. At this point, the patient will be unable to remove the plaque and tartar without professional dental cleaning.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 gum-disease v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"gum-disease v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about understanding gum disease\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease or periodontitis, is not always accompanied by pain—meaning that patients may not even know that they have it.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 gum-disease v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"gum-disease v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about preventing gum disease\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"prevent-gum-disease\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Preventing Gum Disease</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Most cases of gum disease are caused by poor oral hygiene. Unsurprisingly, <a title=\"Read more about Periodontitis\" href=\"https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/periodontitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20354473\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Gum-Disease\">maintaining a good oral hygiene routine</a> is one of the first lines of defense in protecting oneself against gum disease. Patients should brush their teeth for two minutes at least twice a day and floss at least once a day. Flossing before brushing is imperative, as this allows the patient to clean away any loosened food particles and bacteria. Routine dental visits are also key in preventing gum disease, especially for patients already at risk of developing gum disease. These patients include those who smoke, take certain medications, or suffer from dry mouth.

These may include antibiotics, root planing, and scaling. Antibiotics can help control infection and can be administered either topically or orally. Root scaling and planing are often performed together. While root planing smoothes the root surfaces to remove bacteria and discourage further buildup, root scaling removes tartar and bacteria from the tooth surfaces and beneath the gums.</p>\n<p>More advanced gum disease may require more invasive solutions, such as oral surgery. Treatments may involve bone grafting, guided tissue regeneration, pocket reduction surgery (also known as flap surgery), soft tissue grafts, and tissue-stimulating proteins. Bone grafting and guided tissue regeneration may help promote bone regeneration. Pocket reduction surgery may allow for more effective root scaling and planing, while soft tissue grafts may reinforce damaged soft tissue.

These include having gingivitis, poor oral health habits, or inadequate nutrition (particularly a vitamin C deficiency). Smoking or chewing tobacco, as well as recreational drug use, may also increase your risk. Certain genetic conditions, medications, pre-existing health problems, and hormonal changes may also put you at heightened risk.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How is gum disease diagnosed?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Your dentist may review your medical history to rule out any other causal factors to your symptoms, then examine your mouth to look for any signs of disease. We will then measure the pocket depth of the groove between your gums and teeth. Then take dental X-rays to check for bone loss in any areas where the dentist notices deeper pocket depths.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is there a link between gum disease and cardiovascular disease?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\"><a title=\"Read more about Does Gum Disease Increase Risk of Heart Disease?\" href=\"https://www.healthline.com/health/gum-disease-and-heart-disease#research\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Gum-Disease\">According to Healthline</a>, recent research shows an association between gum disease and cardiovascular disease. A review of several different studies concluded that gum disease increases a patient\'s risk of heart disease by approximately 20%.

Children with gum disease usually experience chronic gingivitis, while otherwise healthy young people tend to be afflicted more by aggressive periodontitis. Generalized aggressive periodontitis may also follow puberty due to fluctuating hormone levels.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Gingivitis is a form of gum inflammation that can develop into periodontitis.

Patients should begin their search by contacting their dental insurance provider. Insurance providers have search tools to help patients determine whether a dentist is within their network. Using this tool, patients can filter their search and locate providers with different specialties.</p>\n<p>If you need a specific type of dental care, this tool can help you narrow down your options. They can also search for local network dentists by city, ZIP code, or name. Keep in mind that information on the Internet may not be up-to-date. Providers might have stopped working with certain insurance companies or changed their policies. Before scheduling an appointment, ask the office team whether they accept a specific dental insurance plan.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 helpful-dental-information v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"helpful-dental-information v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about finding a dentist within a network\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Patients should begin their search by contacting their dental insurance provider.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 helpful-dental-information v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"helpful-dental-information v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about choosing between different types of providers\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"type-of-dental-provider\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Choosing Between Different Types of Providers</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Patients who need specialized services may have to perform some extra research.

They can also treat many common dental concerns, including cracked or broken teeth, cavities, and gum disease.</p>\n<p>Patients with more complex issues that a general dentist can not treat may require a specialist’s help. Dental specialists have additional years of training that focus on a specific area of dentistry. Some more specialized treatments that require treatment from a specialized dental provider include:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li>Endodontic treatment: diagnose and treat tooth pain and perform root canal treatment.</li>\n<li>Pediatric treatment: dental care for children from birth through adolescence.</li>\n<li>Periodontic treatment: specialized treatment for gum disease and tissue damage.</li>\n<li>Prosthodontic treatment: treatments to repair broken teeth and jawbones.</li>\n<li>Oral surgery: specialized surgery on the mouth and jaw.</li>\n<li>Orthodontic: specialty dentistry dealing with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of malpositioned teeth, jaws, and bites</li>\n</ul>\n<p>General dentists can recommend the most appropriate provider, provide follow-up care, and monitor patients for treatment complications.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 helpful-dental-information v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"helpful-dental-information v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about choosing between different types of providers\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"First, patients must understand what type of care they need.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 helpful-dental-information v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<a name=\"about-dental-terminology\"></a>\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"helpful-dental-information v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about understanding dental terminology\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Understanding Dental Terminology</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Most dental patients will see or hear terms in their dentist’s office or dental records that they do not understand.

These include aggressive toothbrushing, body piercing, clenching or grinding teeth, crooked teeth or a misaligned bite, hormonal changes, insufficient dental care, periodontal disease, and tobacco products. Genetics may also be a factor. For example, parents may pass down weak, thin gums to their children.</p>\n<p>Some patients may also find that their gums are receding only on one side. Usually, this is due to plaque concentrating in one area of the mouth. This may be due to neglecting oral hygiene on one side of the mouth, as excess plaque and bacteria at the gum line may release toxic substances that destroy gum tissue. Alternatively, a misaligned bite may cause more wear and tear to one side of the mouth than the other.

Still, several treatment options are available for those who need it. These include composite restoration; desensitizing agents, varnishes, and dentin bonding agents; orthodontics; pink porcelain or composite; removable gum veneers; and surgery. Composite restorations are natural-looking, tooth-colored composite resins that cover the surface of the tooth root. They may be used to close any black gaps between the teeth.</p>\n<p>Desensitizing agents, varnishes, and dentin bonding agents may help reduce the exposed tooth root\'s sensitivity. By lessening the nerve symptoms, desensitizing agents may ease the brushing of sensitive teeth and promote oral hygiene. Orthodontics (or braces) are more of a long-term treatment that moves a tooth slowly over time. This repositioning can help correct the margin of the gum.</p>\n<p>Pink porcelain or composite that matches the color of the gums can be applied to the \"gaps\" to reduce the appearance of receded gums. Similarly, removable gum veneers, which usually consist of acrylic or silicone, can be applied in the \"gaps.\" Finally, more severe cases of gum recession may necessitate surgery, usually a gum graft.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 i-think-my-gums-are-receding v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"i-think-my-gums-are-receding v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about treating gum recession\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Some cases of gum recession are mild enough not to need treatment.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 i-think-my-gums-are-receding v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"i-think-my-gums-are-receding v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our I Think My Gums Are Receding services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"i-think-my-gums-are-receding-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for I Think My Gums Are Receding in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-I-Think-My-Gums-Are-Receding\">I Think My Gums Are Receding in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS i-think-my-gums-are-receding v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"i-think-my-gums-are-receding v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about preventing gum recession\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"prevent-gum-recession\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Preventing Gum Recession</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Proper dental care is the number one way to prevent gum recession. This involves maintaining a routine where patients brush their teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush at least twice daily and floss at least once daily. Patients should also see a dentist at least twice a year. At-risk patients may require more frequent visits, and a dentist that notices signs of gum recession may want to keep a vigilant watch that it does not worsen.</p>\n<p>Patients may want to consider asking their dentist how to properly brush their teeth to ensure that they are not brushing too aggressively. Additionally, healthy lifestyle choices like eating a well-balanced diet and not smoking can lessen one\'s chances of gum recession dramatically.</p>\n<p>It can be dangerous to leave gum recession untreated. Exposed tooth roots may decay very quickly, necessitating various expensive, painful procedures. Teeth may get more sensitive, and the appearance of the smile may become imbalanced. It is also possible that what patients are experiencing is not gum recession but undetected, worsening gum disease.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 i-think-my-gums-are-receding v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"i-think-my-gums-are-receding v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about preventing gum recession\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"…healthy lifestyle choices like eating a well-balanced diet and not smoking can lessen one\'s chances of gum recession dramatically.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 i-think-my-gums-are-receding v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"i-think-my-gums-are-receding v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to I Think My Gums Are Receding\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

The natural teeth will be subject to less pressure while eating as a result of the dentures.</p>\n<p>However, the most common reasons for getting immediate dentures, according to the <a title=\"Read more about Immediate dentures\" href=\"https://www.for.org/en/treat/treatment-guidelines/edentulous/treatment-options/mucosally-supported/immediate-dentures\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Immediate-Dentures\">Foundation for Oral Rehabilitation</a>, are aesthetic and social.

These are some of the reasons someone may choose to receive immediate dentures: </p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Instant results.</b> The most significant benefit for many patients is the lack of a wait. Most people do not want to go a noticeable amount of time without being able to smile. Immediate dentures provide a way to skip the typical several-week wait during permanent denture fabrication.</li>\n<li><b>More comfortable following extraction.</b> Temporary dentures can provide protection for patients with sensitive teeth or gums, making the recovery period following extraction more comfortable. However, the dentures need to be regularly adjusted to maintain comfort.</li>\n<li><b>More direct duplication of natural teeth.</b> It is easier for a dentist to more accurately duplicate the shape, color, and arrangement of natural teeth while some are still present—especially significant for complete immediate dentures. For patients who want to preserve the quality of their smiles, this can be a substantial benefit.</li>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 immediate-dentures v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"immediate-dentures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about benefits of immediate dentures\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Immediate dentures give patients an option for avoiding going without teeth for an extended time.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 immediate-dentures v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"immediate-dentures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Immediate Dentures\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

Some patients should not receive them due to general health or specific oral conditions. A dentist can provide personalized advice on whether this procedure is the right choice for you.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Do I need to get temporary dentures?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">No, you do not typically need to get temporary dentures following an extraction. Some patients prefer them for aesthetic reasons. In some cases, a dentist may recommend them to help protect the healing area of the gums and any remaining teeth.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Are immediate dentures partial or complete?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Immediate dentures may be partial or complete. If they are complete dentures, the dentist may extract the back teeth first to allow for a more accurate fit without any noticeable gaps. Partial dentures are usually fit based on bite impressions and adjustment.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Are immediate dentures always temporary dentures?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">According to <a title=\"Read more about Dental Health and Dentures\" href=\"https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/dental-health-dentures#1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Immediate-Dentures\">WebMD</a>, immediate dentures require significant adjustment, as the gums and jaw may move during the healing process.

The only limiting factor is the healing of the extraction site.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Where can I get immediate dentures?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Most dentists who provide dentures can also offer immediate dentures.

There are two major types of dental implants, endosteal and subperiosteal. Endosteal implants are the most commonly used dental implant and placed in the jawbone. They are usually made of titanium and shaped like small screws.</p>\n<p>Subperiosteal implants are implants that we put under the gum but not in the jawbone. This type of implant is best for patients who do not have enough healthy natural jawbone and cannot undergo a procedure to rebuild it.

In particular, patients surveyed often felt implant-supported dentures were more comfortable than standard dentures. Many patients also report benefiting from fixed dentures using implants because they feel similar to natural teeth. They can eat with them and brush like normal. If cared for properly, implant-supported dentures can be a permanent solution to missing teeth.</p>\n<p>However, implant-supported dentures have some drawbacks. They require a more extensive procedure for their placement than traditional dentures. Additionally, removable dentures do not always stay firmly in place. They often need to be adjusted to ensure a continued correct fit.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 implant-supported-dentures v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"implant-supported-dentures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about implant supported dentures vs. removable dentures\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Many patients also report benefiting from fixed dentures using implants because they feel similar to natural teeth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 implant-supported-dentures v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"implant-supported-dentures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about how to get implant supported dentures\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"how-do-i-get-implant-supported-dentures\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">How To Get Implant Supported Dentures</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>To receive implant-supported dentures, you need to visit your dentist. If you go to a general dentist, he or she may suggest that you visit a practice that has experience placing implants, such as University Dental Associates. Choosing the right dentist to place your implants will help ensure good results from your dentures.</p>\n<p>Your implant dentist will perform an examination and consultation to determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you. Dental implants require some jawbone for placement. So, people with deteriorated jaws may not be able to receive implants. However, as technology advances, dentists are increasingly able to strengthen and augment the jaw to allow implantation.</p>\n<p>The implants are surgically placed in your jawbone. The dentures connect to these implants so that they stay firmly in place. The implantation may be done under sedation.

In either case, the system is supported by several implants placed in the jaw. Additionally, the dentures typically are made of acrylic or porcelain and look like natural teeth. The main difference between the two types is how the dentures connect to the implants.\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Bar-Retained:</b> In this setup, a metal bar follows the curve of the jaw. It is anchored to the mouth with the implants. The dentures connect to the bar to hold them in place.</li>\n<li><b>Ball-Retained:</b> Ball-retained dentures, also called stud-attached dentures, more directly connect the implants to the dentures. A small attachment on each implant connects with a socket on the dentures. Typically, this attachment is ball-shaped, hence the name.</li>\n</ul>\n</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 implant-supported-dentures v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"implant-supported-dentures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about types of implant supported dentures\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"In either case, the system is supported by several implants placed in the jaw.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 implant-supported-dentures v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"implant-supported-dentures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Implant Supported Dentures services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"implant-supported-dentures-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Implant Supported Dentures in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Implant-Supported-Dentures\">Implant Supported Dentures in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS implant-supported-dentures v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"implant-supported-dentures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about benefits of implant supported dentures\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-are-the-benefits\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Benefits of Implant Supported Dentures</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Implant-supported dentures are a popular choice for teeth replacements.

This means the implant-supported dentures will not rub against your mouth or cause sores in the same way that loose, removable dentures can.</li>\n<li><b>Natural-Looking:</b> Implant-supported dentures look like natural teeth. So, you can have a beautiful smile that is not a set of dentures. This can be a significant confidence boost for many patients.</li>\n<li><b>Effective Tooth Replacement:</b> Before dentures, tooth loss can affect the way one speaks and eating solid foods. Fixed dentures are more similar to natural teeth in terms of function. So, patients can return to speaking confidently and enjoying more of the foods that they did before tooth loss.</li>\n<li><b>Supports Bone Health:</b> Removable dentures can harm your jawbone by pressing and rubbing against it constantly. Implant-supported dentures, conversely, are more firmly fixed. They interact with your jawbone, much like natural teeth.</li>\n</ul>\n</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 implant-supported-dentures v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"implant-supported-dentures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about benefits of implant supported dentures\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Implant-supported dentures look like natural teeth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 implant-supported-dentures v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"implant-supported-dentures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Implant Supported Dentures\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

Cosmetic dentistry is a broad field that can involve improving the alignment, color, position, shape, and size of the gums and teeth. These aesthetic enhancements often cross over with functional improvements. These include correcting a misaligned bite, improving dental and overall health, and increasing focus on oral hygiene.</p>\n<p>Additionally, a 2018 study <a title=\"Read more about Impact of dentofacial esthetics in self-esteem. A review of the literature.\" href=\"https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Impact-of-dentofacial-esthetics-in-self-esteem.-A-Cofr%C3%A9-Rodr%C3%ADguez/2a1f478ff45d790fe31f4232efcfa55f3fb9be9b\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Improve-Your-Smile-for-Senior-Pictures\">published in the International Journal of Medical and Surgical Sciences</a> found that malocclusion may negatively affect patients\' self-image. Correcting these functional irregularities may  lead to feelings of increased self-esteem while also improving one\'s ability to speak and eat.</p>\n<p>Other cosmetic dental procedures like bonding, crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers can help repair cracked or broken teeth. By providing additional support, these treatments protect the teeth from further damage and can maintain the remaining tooth. All cosmetic dental procedures also encourage an increased focus on dental hygiene as part of upkeep. The result is improved dental health, directly correlated with improved overall health.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about more than just a better smile for senior pictures\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Despite what the name may imply, cosmetic dentistry has more than just aesthetic benefits.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about clear aligners for senior pictures\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"clear-aligners-and-traditional-braces\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Clear Aligners for Senior Pictures</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Clear aligners, such as Invisalign®, have been growing in popularity over recent years. For many patients, these \"invisible braces\'\' are <a title=\"Read more about Invisible Aligners for Teeth\" href=\"https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/invisible-orthodontic-aligners#1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Improve-Your-Smile-for-Senior-Pictures\"> an appealing alternative to traditional options</a>, as they are more unobtrusive aesthetically. While conventional braces move teeth through brackets connected by wires, invisible aligners use a series of custom-made mouthpieces consisting of clear plastic or acrylic material.</p>\n<p>Clear aligners are also removable, making it easier for patients to brush and floss well. Thus, it may be easier to maintain a thorough dental hygiene routine than with traditional braces. Treatment time with clear aligners depends on a case-by-case basis. On average, however, patients usually complete treatment within 10 to 24 months. Consequently, it is best to schedule a consultation well in advance of any senior photos.</p>\n<p>Clear aligners are best-suited for teens and adults with mild or moderate orthodontic issues. Those with more severe conditions, however, may require more involved treatment with traditional braces. Our qualified team works closely with our patients to determine an individualized treatment plan for their needs.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about clear aligners for senior pictures\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"While conventional braces move teeth through brackets connected by wires, invisible aligners use a series of custom-made mouthpieces consisting of clear plastic or acrylic material.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about dental veneers for senior pictures\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"veneers-before-senior-photos\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Dental Veneers for Senior Pictures</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Dental veneers, <a title=\"Read more about Dental Veneers\" href=\"https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/veneers#1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Improve-Your-Smile-for-Senior-Pictures\">also known as dental porcelain laminates</a>, are thin, tooth-colored shells that cover the front surface of the teeth. They may consist of porcelain or resin composite materials, and they can enhance teeth\'s color, shape, size, or length. Veneers may be able to help patients whose teeth are chipped or broken, discolored, irregularly shaped, misaligned, worn down, uneven, or have gaps between them. Patients may be able to get veneers for one or more teeth.</p>\n<p>Veneers are a natural-looking tooth enhancement option that do not require any prior, extensive shaping. Porcelain veneers, in particular, are stain-resistant and well-tolerated by gum tissue. By effectively replacing the outer layer of the teeth (or enamel), veneers can give the appearance of a more symmetrical smile without actually moving your teeth.</p>\n<p>It typically takes about three dental appointments to get veneers. During the initial consultation, the patient will tell University Dental Associates about the results they want, and University Dental Associates will conduct a thorough examination to determine if veneers are right for them. The second appointment consists of preparation, where the teeth have their surfaces reshaped and University Dental Associates makes a model or impression of the teeth. In the third appointment, the veneers are finally bonded to the teeth. This entire process generally takes a few weeks, as does aftercare. Our team recommends booking the procedure a few months in advance of any senior photos.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about dental veneers for senior pictures\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Veneers are a natural-looking tooth enhancement option that do not require any prior, extensive shaping.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Improve Your Smile for Senior Pictures services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Improve Your Smile for Senior Pictures in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Improve-Your-Smile-for-Senior-Pictures\">Improve Your Smile for Senior Pictures in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"improve-your-smile-for-senior-pictures v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about dental bonding for senior pictures\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"anesthesia-to-have-dental-bonding\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Dental Bonding for Senior Pictures</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>In a dental bonding procedure, patients have a tooth-colored resin material applied and hardened onto their teeth to restore or improve their smile.

Composites may be used both on front or back teeth, in part because they look so natural. They are also arguably safer than amalgam fillings, which consist of metal alloys that may include mercury.

It is common for patients to get clear aligners after not having worn their retainers enough after traditional braces. Clear aligners may help shift your teeth back into place and restore your smile.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Are veneers reversible?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">No. While veneers are removable, another set of veneers must always replace them. This is because veneers require removing tooth enamel, which can not grow back.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How long does dental bonding last?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">The answer varies on a case-by-case basis.
