Albany Dental Associates Helps Patients Compare Dental Implants, Implant Dentures and Bridges

With 1,500+ dental implants placed yearly, Albany Dental Associates explains how a single tooth implant or implant denture fits each patient.

Delmar, United States, October 26, 2026 -- DELMAR, N.Y. — Albany Dental Associates says it places more than 1,500 dental implants each year, and the practice is using that volume to help patients in the Albany area understand a decision many face for the first time: which kind of implant-based replacement actually fits their situation. The Delmar practice, which has treated more than 7,500 patients, says the question it hears most often is whether a patient needs a single tooth implant, a full implant denture, or whether a traditional bridge or denture is the better choice.

"Replacing one tooth and replacing a full arch are different problems. We sit down with each patient and match the solution to the situation," said Dr. Marina Shraga, one of the practice's dentists.

For a patient missing a single tooth, the practice generally looks at a single tooth implant, which replaces the missing tooth without altering the healthy teeth beside it, in contrast to a bridge, which relies on neighboring teeth for support. For patients who have lost many teeth, or who find a conventional denture loose and uncomfortable, an implant denture can anchor the denture to implants placed in the jaw, giving it more stability than one that rests on the gums alone. Patients who still prefer a removable option can also be fitted for traditional or flexible metal-free dentures, including same-day denture service.

The practice says the goal of the consultation is to compare these paths side by side, including cost, treatment time, and long-term maintenance, before a patient commits to dental implants or any other treatment. New patients without dental insurance receive a free exam, free X-ray, and free consultation, and the office accepts most major insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Guardian, and UnitedHealthcare, as well as CareCredit financing.

With more than 60 years of combined clinical experience across its team of dentists, Albany Dental Associates also provides emergency dental care, dental crowns, root canals, and family dentistry from the same office.
