If you’re missing one or more teeth in your upper or lower jaw, partial or full dentures can make a difference in how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile.
At Corbin Dental in Bayside and Oyster Bay, NY, we offer high-quality custom dentures and tooth replacement solutions, designed to restore both functionality and aesthetics. With over three generations of expertise, we deliver personalized care using the latest technology to ensure every patient receives a natural-looking, comfortable fit.
When you visit Corbin Dental for dentures, we’ll help you determine the type you need and the best way to make them comfortably fit in your mouth. Each patient has different requirements for their dentures, making it crucial that we understand your lifestyle and what type of denture you feel most comfortable with. Our types of dentures include:
Partial dentures function as removable replacements for one or more missing teeth. You’ll receive a custom set of dentures that fits into your upper or lower jaw and fills the spaces with realistic artificial teeth.
Full dentures replace multiple missing natural teeth. Two full-arch pieces fit onto your upper or lower jaw, with some patients requiring a complete new set of teeth.
Permanent dentures require minor surgery, during which our dentists place metal posts into your jawbone. Dentures attach to these implants and become permanent, needing no more than your regular daily dental care.
For patients requiring a full-arch restoration, we offer the All-On-Four method. This innovative technique enables us to replace an entire set of teeth using just four strategically placed implants, providing a stable and functional smile in a single day.
Regardless of the type of dentures you need, the procedure for creating them remains the same. Our process for providing custom prosthetics begins with a thorough consultation using advanced digital diagnostics, including 3D imaging. This helps us create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals:
During your first visit, we’ll start with an examination to ensure that you have healthy gums and that you’re a suitable candidate for dentures. Next, we’ll take multiple impressions of your mouth and send them to a dental laboratory where they can create your dentures.
If extractions or gum therapy are necessary, we address these first to establish a healthy foundation for your new appliance.
We take precise impressions of your mouth to design a custom-fitted prosthetic. We’ll ensure that you can smile and talk comfortably, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
If you choose permanent dentures, we’ll place your dental implants and then wait for your jaw to heal before fitting your permanent dentures. A temporary option may be provided during the fitting process.
Your final appliance is carefully adjusted for a secure and comfortable fit that complements your facial features and restores proper function.
After you receive your dentures, continue to attend regular dental checkups so our team can track any changes in your gum line or jaw function. You can remove and brush your dentures with a soft toothbrush and toothpaste. If you experience unusual pain or discomfort while wearing your dentures, please visit us so we can assess the issue and provide assistance.

Yes, most patients can enjoy their usual diet after a short adjustment period. It typically takes about two weeks to fully adapt to using a new appliance for eating.
Keep your appliance moist when not in use to maintain its shape and prevent drying. Soaking in water or a cleaning solution overnight is recommended.
Yes, mouthwash can be used, but it’s best to choose an alcohol-free option to avoid drying out the materials. Brushing after rinsing helps remove any residual chemicals.
Bacteria buildup can cause unpleasant smells. Regular brushing and soaking prevent this issue and keep your appliance fresh.
