Dentures in Miami, FL

Everything Teeth Miami offers full dentures for patients missing an entire arch of teeth, partial dentures for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth remaining, and implant-supported dentures for patients seeking a more stable and permanent solution. Dr. Diana and Dr. Omar will evaluate your individual situation and help you choose the option that best fits your needs, goals, and budget.

The denture process at Everything Teeth Miami typically involves several appointments over the course of a few weeks to a few months, depending on whether any extractions are needed first and which type of denture is being fabricated. The process includes an initial consultation, impressions and measurements, a trial fitting, and final delivery. If teeth need to be extracted before dentures can be placed, there will also be a healing period before your final dentures are fitted. Our team will give you a clear timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

Modern dentures are designed to fit as comfortably as possible, but there is typically an adjustment period of several weeks as your mouth gets used to the new appliance. Some soreness and minor irritation are normal during this time. Dr. Diana and Dr. Omar will schedule follow-up appointments to make any necessary adjustments to improve fit and comfort as your mouth adapts. If at any point your dentures feel painful, loose, or cause persistent sore spots, contact our office so we can address the issue promptly.

It takes a little practice to eat comfortably with new dentures, but most patients adapt well within a few weeks. We recommend starting with soft foods cut into small pieces and gradually reintroducing firmer foods as you become more comfortable. Chewing on both sides of your mouth evenly helps keep dentures stable during meals. Some foods, particularly very hard, sticky, or crunchy items, may always be challenging with traditional removable dentures. Implant-supported dentures provide significantly greater stability and make eating a wider variety of foods much more manageable.

No. Removing your dentures before sleeping each night is strongly recommended. Wearing dentures around the clock does not give your gum tissue and jawbone a chance to rest, which can accelerate bone resorption and cause the fit of your dentures to deteriorate more quickly over time. Soaking your dentures in a denture solution overnight also helps maintain their shape and keeps them fresh for the next day.

With proper care, a well-made set of dentures can last seven to ten years or longer. However, because your jawbone and gum tissue naturally change shape over time following tooth loss, your dentures may need to be relined, rebased, or replaced periodically to maintain a proper fit. Attending regular checkups at Everything Teeth Miami allows Dr. Diana and Dr. Omar to monitor the fit of your dentures and recommend adjustments before the fit becomes significantly uncomfortable.

Traditional removable dentures rest on top of the gum tissue and are held in place by natural suction and denture adhesive. They are a more affordable option but can feel less secure during eating and speaking, and they do not prevent the bone loss that occurs in the jaw following tooth loss. Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, which provides a much more stable and secure fit, prevents bone loss, and eliminates the need for adhesives. Implant-supported dentures are generally considered the superior long-term option for patients who are good candidates for implant surgery.

Many dental insurance plans provide coverage for dentures, though the amount covered and the frequency of replacement benefits vary by plan. Everything Teeth Miami accepts most major dental insurance plans and our team will verify your benefits and provide a clear cost estimate before your treatment begins. For patients without insurance or with remaining out-of-pocket costs, we offer flexible financing options and our Premium Patient Program to make denture care affordable and accessible.

Contact Everything Teeth Miami as soon as possible if your dentures crack, break, or begin to feel loose or uncomfortable. Do not attempt to repair broken dentures yourself using household adhesives, as this can permanently damage the appliance and make professional repair more difficult. A change in fit is often a sign that your jawbone or gum tissue has changed shape, which is a normal part of the bone resorption process that follows tooth loss. Our team will evaluate your dentures and recommend relining, rebasing, or replacement as needed to restore a proper and comfortable fit.
