Since the field may address both aesthetic and functional areas of these regions, there are many different types of oral and maxillofacial surgeries. Oral surgery is a long-established and well-researched area of study that is safe when conducted by a qualified professional.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 oral-surgery v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"oral-surgery v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about understanding oral surgery\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Because the field may address both aesthetic and functional areas of these regions, there are many different types of oral and maxillofacial surgeries.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 oral-surgery v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"oral-surgery v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about reasons for oral surgery\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"do-i-need-oral-surgery\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Reasons for Oral Surgery</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Oral surgery may help with several conditions. Some of the most common include:\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Tooth Loss.</b> Losing natural teeth can erode the jawbone over time, making deterioration an inevitability. Dental implants can prevent this from happening by anchoring the false teeth to the jawbone and stabilizing them.</li>\n<li><b>Impacted Teeth.</b> Teeth are \"impacted\" when they become trapped between the jawbone and the gum tissue. Usually, this happens because the tooth has not emerged in proper alignment or entirely through the gumline. Generally, dentists will recommend patients have these removed.</li>\n<li><b>Orthodontics.</b> Oral surgery is sometimes necessary when braces are not enough to correct malocclusion (a misaligned bite). In such cases, a dental professional works with a surgeon to build a personalized treatment plan for the patient\'s orthognathic surgery (corrective jaw surgery).</li>\n</ul>\n</p>\n<p>It is important to remember that the above list is not exhaustive. Patients should consult with a professional to ensure which treatment option is right for them.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 oral-surgery v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"oral-surgery v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about reasons for oral surgery\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Oral surgery may help with several conditions.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 oral-surgery v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"oral-surgery v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about preparing for oral surgery\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"how-should-i-prepare\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Preparing for Oral Surgery</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Oral surgery can be a complicated process.

Typically, this lasts for five to seven days, with varying degrees of intensity. Once the swelling has subsided, you will probably notice some bruising.

This is a gradual change, and you should avoid any spicy or acidic foods until then. You will need to stick to liquids and soft foods for the first two days following surgery. You can start incorporating low-chew foods on day three.</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 causes a \"dry socket\" after oral surgery?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">\"Dry sockets,\" or alveolar osteitis, are blood clots that appear in extraction sites and break down prematurely. These usually result from overexertion, smoking, and poor oral hygiene during the postoperative period. Sometimes, they happen without a clear cause. Symptoms include bad breath, foul odor and taste, and increased pain.

However, you will likely feel some pain and discomfort after surgery once the anesthetic has worn off. Our team can give you recommendations or prescribe appropriate medication to help manage this pain.</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\">Can I drive myself to and from my oral surgery?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">No. Patients should make plans for someone they trust to drive them to and from the procedure.

The treatment chosen depends on the patient\'s situation and needs. When a replacement tooth is required, several choices are available:\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Implants.</b> Dental implants are part of a long-term solution for missing teeth. A dentist can place implants in a patient\'s jaw and attach false teeth to them. They are incredibly durable and, <a title=\"Read more about Who can benefit?\" href=\"https://www.aaid-implant.org/dental-implants/who-can-benefit/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Partial-Denture-for-One-Missing-Tooth\">according to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry</a>, may help prevent bone loss around a tooth extraction. However, implant placement is more invasive than getting a partial denture. Depending on the type of implant, it may be several months before the final installation of the prosthetic tooth.</li>\n<li><b>Bridges.</b> A dental bridge consists of a group of crowns that attach to healthy teeth on either side of the gap. It is necessary to reduce the healthy teeth that will support a bridge to allow crowns to go over them. The three or more crowns that make up the dental bridge are a single piece with no way to floss between them. Additionally, extra care is needed to clean under the pontic, or part that fills the gap.</li>\n<li><b>A combination of solutions.</b> Implant-supported bridges are an option for those without the necessary natural teeth. Similarly, implant-supported dentures, which can replace the entire upper arch, lower arch, or both, are also an option for some people. Implants last a long time with proper care, but they do sometimes fail. Because dental implants fuse to the jawbone and require good overall health to ensure healing, not every patient is a candidate.</li>\n</ul>\n</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 partial-denture-for-one-missing-tooth v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"partial-denture-for-one-missing-tooth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about other options for replacing a single missing tooth\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The solution chosen depends on the patient\'s situation and needs.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 partial-denture-for-one-missing-tooth v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"partial-denture-for-one-missing-tooth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Partial Denture for One Missing Tooth\"><!-- 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.

Before making the dentures, the dentist uses an elastic material such as alginate to take an impression of the mouth. The material then solidifies, providing an outline of the gums to create the base.</p>\n<p>In contrast to fixed solutions, such as bridges or implants, removable dentures can be taken out overnight and for cleaning after meals. As a result, many find them easier to clean thoroughly. However, as the shape of the gums and jawbone often changes gradually after extraction, it is normal to need occasional adjustments for a proper fit.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about how removable partial dentures work\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Generally, removable partial dentures consist of natural-looking tooth replacements connected to a flesh-colored base shaped to fit the patient\'s gums.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about process of getting partial dentures\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-is-the-process\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Process of Getting Partial Dentures</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The process of getting removable partial dentures for back teeth involves a few simple steps. We begin by taking an impression of the teeth and gums in order to curate the dentures to fit and match the surrounding area. Patients with any extractions may need to wait out the healing period before taking an impression. The impression is then sent to a lab that creates the custom-made dentures before the patient’s next visit.</p>\n<p>Since dentures replace missing teeth, there is still a chance that the mouth changes through tooth movement. This can cause other teeth to shift, become loose, or feel uncomfortable. We can make any adjustments to the dentures as needed to ensure the dentures are fitting well and the surrounding teeth, gums, and bone are intact.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about process of getting partial dentures\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"We begin by taking an impression of the teeth and gums in order to curate the dentures to fit and match the surrounding area.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<style>\n.info-styling {\nborder-radius: 8px;\nbackground-color: white;\nborder-width: 10px !important;\nborder: solid;\nmargin: 0 auto;\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 1200px) {\n.info-styling {\nwidth: 80%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.info-styling {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"main-service-content section-block info-styling SPIG\"><!—Infographic Group - Partial Dentures for Back Teeth -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 center-align\">\n<div class=\"SPIF\"><!-- Service Page Infographic -->\n<a title=\"Partial dentures for back teeth infographic: According to the American College of Prosthodontists, at least 120 million people in the U.S. are missing at least one tooth.\" href=\"/the-bronx-ny/partial-dentures-for-back-teeth/#120-million-americans\" class=\"ILBC\" id=\"CPIG-Partial-Dentures-for-Back-Teeth\"><picture><source type=\"image/webp\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/120-million-missing-teeth.webp\"><source type=\"image/png\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/120-million-missing-teeth.png\"><img class=\"intro-image-fit infographic-bg\" src=\"/wp-content/uploads/120-million-missing-teeth.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Partial dentures for back teeth infographic: According to the American College of Prosthodontists, at least 120 million people in the U.S. are missing at least one tooth.\" /></picture></a>\n</div><!-- /.--><!-- /Service Page Infographic -->\n</div><!-- /.col s12 m6 center-align -->\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 center-align\">\n<div class=\"SPIF\"><!-- Service Page Infographic -->\n<a title=\"Partial dentures for back teeth infographic: In comparison, complete dentures are artificial replacements for all teeth.\" href=\"/the-bronx-ny/partial-dentures-for-back-teeth/#are-there-other-options\" class=\"ILBC\" id=\"CPIG-Partial-Dentures-for-Back-Teeth\"><picture><source type=\"image/webp\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/partial-vs-complete-dentures.webp\"><source type=\"image/png\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/partial-vs-complete-dentures.png\"><img class=\"intro-image-fit infographic-bg\" src=\"/wp-content/uploads/partial-vs-complete-dentures.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Partial dentures for back teeth infographic: In comparison, complete dentures are artificial replacements for all teeth.\" /></picture></a>\n</div><!-- /.--><!-- /Service Page Infographic -->\n</div><!-- /.col s12 m6 center-align -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</div><!-- /.main-service-content section-block info-styling --><!-- /Infographic Group - Partial Dentures for Back Teeth -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about benefits of removable partial dentures for back teeth\"><!-- Section 3 -->\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 Removable Partial Dentures for Back Teeth</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>According to <a title=\"Read more about Dentures Facts & Figures\" href=\"https://www.gotoapro.org/facts-figures/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Partial-Dentures-for-Back-Teeth\">statistics cited by the American College of Prosthodontists</a>, as many as 120 million Americans are missing at least one tooth. Removable partial dentures are the solution of choice for many of them. For those who are missing back teeth, dentures can provide the following benefits:\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Promotion of oral health.</b> Dentures prevent adjacent teeth from moving out of place, as they tend to do when there are missing teeth. By keeping the configuration of the teeth close to normal, dentures reduce the risk of severe bone and gum problems developing later. Furthermore, when the remaining natural teeth maintain their position, there is a lessened chance of bone loss and cavities.</li>\n<li><b>Comfort chewing and speaking.</b> After a short adjustment period, most patients can talk and chew normally with denture arches for back teeth. Molars perform the critical function of grinding down food for proper digestion and nutrition absorption. Dentures offer an effective solution for performing this function after the loss of one or more molars.</li>\n<li><b>Enhanced appearance.</b> Although back teeth are not readily visible, their absence can affect appearance. Missing molars can result in a shrunken facial shape and atrophy of some facial muscles. Partial dentures prevent this from happening by maintaining the normal shape of the face.</li>\n</ul>\n</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about benefits of removable partial dentures for back teeth\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<a name=\"120-million-americans\"></a>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"According to statistics cited by the American College of Prosthodontists, as many as 120 million Americans are missing at least one tooth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Partial Dentures for Back Teeth services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"partial-dentures-for-back-teeth-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 Partial Dentures for Back Teeth 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-Partial-Dentures-for-Back-Teeth\">Partial Dentures for Back Teeth in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about other options for replacing back teeth\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"are-there-other-options\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Other Options for Replacing Back Teeth</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>In addition to partial dentures for back teeth, patients may consider other solutions for missing molars. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. The right choice for any individual patient depends on specific factors such as medical history, oral health, personal preferences, budget, and more. The dentists at University Dental Associates help each patient can find the most effective option for you.</p>\n<p>Implants are a popular teeth-replacement method. They have the advantage of being permanent, barring later complications. Implants also look and feel natural. However, their relatively high cost can make them impracticable for some. Implants also involve minor surgery and can necessitate bone grafts. Some health conditions can inhibit proper healing. For instance, <a title=\"Read more about Dental implants and diabetes mellitus—a systematic review\" href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5005734/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Partial-Dentures-for-Back-Teeth\">an article reviewing study data in the International Journal of Implant Dentistry</a> found that poorly controlled diabetes increases the risks of complications and implant failure.</p>\n<p>Permanent bridges are another option for replacing the back teeth. This solution is possible if there are natural teeth or implants on both sides of the missing tooth. While there exists a cantilever bridge that attaches to one tooth, dentists prefer not to use it to replace the back teeth, as they take more pressure than a bridge should support.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about other options for replacing back teeth\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The right choice for any individual patient depends on specific factors such as medical history, oral health, personal preferences, budget, and more.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Partial Dentures for Back Teeth\"><!-- 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.

You can prolong their lifetime by practicing good oral hygiene and following your dentist\'s care instructions for your teeth replacements. The Mayo Clinic <a title=\"Read more about Denture care: How do I clean dentures?\" href=\"https://www.mayoclinic.org/denture-care/expert-answers/faq-20058375\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Partial-Dentures-for-Back-Teeth\">recommends avoiding hot water and harsh cleansers</a>, which can damage the dentures or cause them to degrade quicker.</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\">Will I need crowns on my surrounding teeth to support denture arches for back teeth?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Most often, crowns are not necessary for a partial denture. However, if your dentist recommends a precision attachment rather than the usual metal clasp, you will need crowns if they are not already in place. The right option for each patient depends on a variety of factors, such as general dental health.</span></p>\n</span>\n<a name=\"178-million-missing-teeth\"></a>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Can I get removable partial dentures for back teeth if I have several missing molars?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Partial dentures can replace several teeth. If you have more than one missing tooth on one arch, the replacements can be fitted onto one denture, whether the missing teeth are contiguous or not.</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 there any foods to avoid after getting denture arches for back teeth?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">It can be easier to get used to eating with a partial denture if you start by cutting your food into small pieces. Stay away from sticky or hard foods to avoid damaging the dentures or putting too much pressure on them. When chewing, try to distribute the pressure evenly on both sides of the mouth.</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 should I do if my removable partial dentures for back teeth become cracked or chipped?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">A damaged denture can irritate your mouth and lead to a poor fit. Cracks and other surface damage can also encourage bacterial growth. It is essential to see a dentist as soon as possible to repair or replace a damaged partial denture.</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 should I do if my denture arches for back teeth stopped fitting comfortably?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">It is common to undergo some bone loss and gum changes after losing teeth. As a result, you may experience changes in the way your dentures fit. The dentist can adjust the denture for optimal fit and functionality.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"partial-dentures-for-back-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<!-- Call-out block -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

Dentists can identify and diagnose periodontal disease by checking for gum bleeding, swelling, firmness, and pocket depth (space between teeth and gum line). They also assess teeth movement, sensitivity, and proper alignment. If there are concerning symptoms, they may also examine the patient’s jawbone to detect any broken bones surrounding the teeth.</p>\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Stages of Periodontal Disease</h3>\r\n<p>The three stages of periodontal disease are gingivitis, periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis. Gingivitis is the beginning stage and refers to inflammation of the gums. Treatments for gingivitis include a professional cleaning and special mouthwash that eliminates bacteria from the gums. Periodontitis, the second stage, occurs when bacteria or infection has spread beneath the gum line. This stage is also reversible and can be treated by professionally cleaning the pockets using a special tool. Advanced periodontitis, the final stage, refers to when the infection damages the underlying bone and surrounding tissues, causing tooth loss or severe shifting.</p>\r\n</div><!-- /.col -->\r\n</div><!-- /.row -->\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 periodontics v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"periodontics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about detecting periodontal disease\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Dentists can identify and diagnose periodontal disease by checking for gum bleeding, swelling, firmness, and pocket depth.\"</h3>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 periodontics v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"periodontics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Periodontics services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\r\n<p id=\"periodontics-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 Periodontics 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-Periodontics\">Periodontics in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS periodontics v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"periodontics v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about preventing periodontal disease\"><!-- Section 4 -->\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\r\n<a name=\"what-are-some-preventative-measures\"></a>\r\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Preventing Periodontal Disease</h2>\r\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\r\n<p>There are a variety of ways patients can prevent the development and progression of periodontal disease.

The longer someone waits to visit the dentist, the more likely they are to develop painful and costly dental problems later on. Preventative dental care lowers the risk of developing cavities, gum disease, and other serious dental problems. It can also help reduce dental problems related to some chronic medical conditions such as diabetes.</p>\n<p>Oral health is also connected to the health of the entire body. The mouth is a breeding ground for harmful bacteria as well as the entry point to the digestive and respiratory tracts. Without proper oral hygiene, including preventative dentistry, secondary problems can develop such as respiratory and heart disease.</p>\n<p>In addition to reducing a family’s risk for other health issues, practicing good preventive dental care can save money. While it may not completely eliminate treatments such as fillings, it can go a long way in reducing the need for costly services. In fact, <a title=\"Read more about The impact of preventive dental care.\" href=\"https://www.cigna.com/static/www-cigna-com/docs/employers-brokers/dental-white-paper.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Preventative-Dental-Care\">a study by Cigna</a> concluded that, \"Customers who did not receive preventive care experienced a 43% increase to their annual dental costs over the same period of time.\" This illustrates that individuals who practice regular preventive oral health care and visit their dentist as recommended achieve higher cost savings each year.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 preventative-dental-care v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"preventative-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the importance of preventative care\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The longer someone waits to visit the dentist, the more likely they are to develop painful and costly dental problems later on.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 preventative-dental-care v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"preventative-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about visit the dentist regularly\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"how-often-should-i-see-the-dentist\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Visit the Dentist Regularly</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Dental cleanings and exams allow dentists to identify problems and take care of them immediately.

It is also a good time to find out if there are teeth that could use additional attention while brushing or flossing. These appointments typically include a regular checkup with our dentist to examine the teeth, look for signs of oral cancer, and take any necessary X-rays.</p>\n<p>A basic dental cleaning includes a physical exam of the entire mouth, which involves using a small mirror to check around the teeth and gums for any signs of inflammation or other concerns. Our staff will then use small scraping tools to remove plaque and tartar from around the gum line and between the teeth. This is followed by a thorough tooth cleaning using a high-powered electric brush and dental flossing. Patients will have their mouth flushed with water as needed throughout the cleaning process.</p>\n<p>Deep cleanings use special techniques to get rid of plaque, tartar and bacteria below the gum line and down to the roots of the teeth. This type of cleaning helps prevent gum disease from advancing and causing tooth loss. Antibiotics, either in an oral form or as a gel or rinse, may be prescribed to help fight bacteria. As this type of cleaning goes below the gum line, a local anesthetic is used to numb the gums.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 preventative-dental-care v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"preventative-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the ins and outs of a dental cleaning\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"A routine dental cleaning is a major component of preventative dentistry.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 preventative-dental-care v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"preventative-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Preventative Dental Care services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"preventative-dental-care-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 Preventative Dental Care 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-Preventative-Dental-Care\">Preventative Dental Care in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS preventative-dental-care v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"preventative-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about making the right lifestyle choices\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"lifestyle-choices-affect-dental-health\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Making the Right Lifestyle Choices</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Lifestyle choices can have a direct effect on a family’s dental health. From poor sleep to smoking and piercings, many personal decisions can harm oral health. Using tobacco inhibits your mouth\'s natural healing properties and makes you more likely to experience dental disease, while the hardware used in piercings in the lips, cheeks or tongue can cause gum recession and chipped teeth.</p>\n<p>A healthy diet can also prevent dental issues down the road. A diet lacking in certain nutrients may make it more difficult for tissues in the mouth to resist infection, which can contribute to gum disease. This is a major contributor to tooth loss in adults.</p>\n<p>It is best to limit the intake of excess sugar. Sugar is the bacteria’s food of choice and can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Many foods and drinks packed with sugar are also acidic, which can break down a tooth’s protective enamel. Drink plenty of water and eat a variety of foods from the five major food groups. The vitamins and minerals provided in such foods assist with oral health.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 preventative-dental-care v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"preventative-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about making the right lifestyle choices\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Lifestyle choices can have a direct effect on a family\'s dental health.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 preventative-dental-care v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"preventative-dental-care v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Preventative Dental Care\"><!-- 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.
