The American College of Prosthodontists, comprised of dentists expert in artificial teeth, says that approximately 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth. Many millions are missing all their teeth, impairing speech, chewing and facial appearance unless they elect to consult a skilled dentist, such as Sejal U. Shah, DDS about tooth replacement.
For decades, full and partial dentures have provided people missing one, 2 or all of their teeth natural-looking and reliable tooth replacement. Dr. Mark E. Richardson recommends several types of dentures for his patients, working with each one to determine what option is best.
There are basically 2 types of dentures--partial and full. Either may be supported by dental implants surgically placed into the patient's jaw for maximum stability, retention, natural feel and excellent functionality.
However, a traditionalpartial dentureaffixes to natural teeth on either side of the prosthetics via metal clasps. The natural teeth require some enamel preparation for proper seating and retention of the porcelain or resin teeth mounted on a light metal frame.
Traditional full dentures help people missing most or all of their natural teeth. Fabricated according to dental impression and the dentist's instructions, full dentures stay in the mouth via suction or attachment to remaining natural teeth.
Typically, patients adjust to their new teeth within a few weeks. Facial muscles learn how to bite and chew, and while speech may be a bit slurred at first, this resolves, too. Dr. Richardson wants his patients to see him if fit problems develop, especially if there are sore spots on the gums.

This place hands down is one of the best dental office's I have ever been to. I came in for teeth cleaning and a check up. The dental hygienist Ms Chowdhury took her time and was very professional and knowledgeable and explained everything in detail to me. Dr shah came in afterwards and also explained what other procedures I might need and was very helpful and professional. I would recommend this office to anyone who needs procedures or check ups done.

Too long wait time (over 2 hours). Often double book and cancel confirmed appointment without informing patient.

I've never posted a review like this for a dentist. Dentists have always been one of the most miserable and nerve-wracking places to go for me. But I was really impressed by the staff, and especially by the dental assistant who did my x-rays and cleaning. She was so friendly and had a great energy and did her best to make me feel comfortable. I was very impressed and appreciative. Definitely recommend.

This is the worst dentist office I have ever been to in my entire life. The dentist who works here I'm assuming it's her practice, ruined my tooth. Beware of this place. I never liked coming here. I thought I could trust a professional to do there job but sadly I was wrong.

Very unprofessional staff. Spanish lady who said that her name is Camal was very rude and disrespectful. She doesn't have customers oriented skill. Unfortunately they learn that from their boss to treat the customers bad. Never go back again.

Went today. Had not been to a dentist in a very long time for fear. Have major problems in my mouth so I knew that whatever they would have to do would be extensive. They were the nicest people I've ever met. This staff is amazing. They calmed me. They were never judgemental. They were straight forward on everything. They did a wonderful job on my teeth. I definitely would and will recommend to others.

Best experience I've had at the dentist in a long time. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. They took their time with my 4 year old and made him feel comfortable and did the same with me! I'm glad I found this office, they restored what little faith I had in NY dentists!!
