Dentures - Miami, FL
Restore your smile with custom-fitted dentures
About Dentures
Dentures are custom prosthetic teeth that replace several or all missing teeth in one arch. Full dentures replace an entire jaw of teeth, while partial dentures fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. Removable dentures rest on the gums and may use metal clasps or precision attachments.
Implant-supported dentures connect to dental implants placed in the jaw for added stability. Materials commonly include acrylic for the base and acrylic or porcelain for the teeth, selected to match your bite, shade, and facial proportions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
What Is The Difference Between Full And Partial Dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures fill spaces around remaining natural teeth using clasps or precision attachments.
How Do Implant-Supported Dentures Work?
Dental implants placed in the jaw anchor the denture for added stability. This improves chewing efficiency and reduces slipping compared to traditional removable dentures.
How Long Does It Take To Get Dentures?
The timeline varies from a few weeks to a few months, depending on extractions, healing, try-ins, and lab steps. Immediate dentures are possible the day teeth are removed.
Will Dentures Change How I Speak Or Eat?
Short term, yes. Most patients adjust with practice. Soft foods and small bites help early on. Reading aloud can speed speech adaptation.
How Do I Clean And Store My Dentures?
Brush daily with a nonabrasive cleanser and soak overnight in a denture solution. Rinse well before wearing and keep them moist to prevent warping.
