Implant Dentures in Jackson Heights That Hold Steady

How Implant Dentures Attach, Snap-On or Fixed

Implant dentures at Queens Central Dental attach a full upper or lower set of teeth to dental implants, small posts set in the jawbone. No adhesive is involved. The posts do the holding.

A removable overdenture snaps onto the posts and comes out for cleaning, while a fixed hybrid denture stays in and only a dentist removes it. Your bone and preferences decide which fits.

For Denture Wearers Tired of Slipping and Adhesive

Implant dentures are usually for people missing most or all of their teeth, often after years of wearing a regular denture that never quite fit. Lower dentures are a common complaint.

Maybe it’s adhesive before every meal, passing on corn on the cob, or sore spots that keep coming back. Some also worry about being talked into surgery they don’t need. Ask it out loud.

Dr. Ilya Ames Plans the Posts and the Teeth

At Queens Central Dental, Dr. Ilya Ames places the implant posts and fits the denture himself, so one dentist plans both halves of the job. He has more than 20 years in practice, and as a dental implants provider, he also handles single implants and implant bridges. He trained at Queens Hospital Center.

If your jaw can’t hold the posts yet, or a regular denture would serve you better, he’ll tell you before anything is booked. No pressure either way.

How Long the Process Takes, and When to Start

From extractions to the final denture, implant dentures at our Jackson Heights office are done in stages over several months. The posts usually need three to six months to fuse with the bone, and you wear a healing denture meanwhile. It’s priced as one job.

Many people start when a denture that used to fit begins rubbing or slipping, even after it’s been adjusted. That’s a good moment to ask.

Implant Dentures for Long Island City and Jackson Heights

Queens Central Dental offers implant dentures within about five miles of Jackson Heights, a range that includes Long Island City and Sunnyside. Astoria is in range too.

Catch the sunset at Gantry Plaza State Park or wander through MoMA PS1? Our office is a short drive away. That matters with implant dentures, since the work spans several visits over a few months, including follow-ups after the posts go in.

FAQs

What are implant dentures?

Implant dentures are full or partial dentures that attach to dental implants, small posts placed in the jawbone, instead of resting on the gums. Some snap on and off for cleaning, and others are fixed in place and only removed by a dentist. Either way, they don’t rely on adhesive.

How much do implant dentures cost?

Queens Central Dental prices implant dentures as one total that covers extractions, any bone grafting, the posts, and the denture itself, so the figure depends on your mouth. Dr. Ames gives you that number after an exam and X-rays, before anything is scheduled.

Which is better, dentures or implants?

Neither is better for everyone. Implant dentures stay put when you chew and help prevent bone loss in the jaw, while regular dentures cost less and don’t need surgery. The right choice depends on your bone, your overall health, and your budget.

Can you get implants after wearing dentures?

Yes, many people who’ve worn dentures for years can switch to implant dentures, as long as the jaw has enough bone to hold the posts. If the bone has thinned, a bone graft can often rebuild the area first. X-rays show where your jaw stands.

Is the implant denture procedure painful?

Implant placement is done with the area numbed, so the procedure itself shouldn’t be painful. Most people return to routine activities within two to three days and feel back to normal in about a week. Some soreness in between is common.
