Dentures are a reliable and cost-effective solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring your smile’s functionality and appearance. Whether you are missing several teeth or all your teeth, dentures can help you regain your ability to eat, speak and smile with confidence. Our dentist and team offer high-quality dentures that are custom-made to fit comfortably and look natural.
There are two main types of dentures available:
- Complete Dentures: These are used when all teeth in the upper or lower arch need to be replaced. Complete dentures rest on the gums and are removable for cleaning.
- Partial Dentures: If some natural teeth remain, partial dentures can be used to fill in the gaps. These dentures are held in place by clasps attached to your remaining teeth.
Dentures provide several key benefits:
- They restore your ability to chew and speak clearly.
- They support facial muscles, helping to maintain a more youthful appearance.
- They are custom designed to fit comfortably and securely.
- They are removable, making them easy to clean and maintain.
Dr. Filiberto Herdocia understands that adjusting to dentures may take time, but with proper care and regular adjustments, they can be a long-lasting solution for tooth loss. Our team at Miami Dental Community is dedicated to helping you achieve a comfortable, confident smile.
