Removable Dentures
What are Removable Dentures?
Removable dentures are a reliable and affordable option for replacing missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile. At Alfonso Dental Miami, located in the Flagami area of Miami, FL, we offer customized removable dentures that fit comfortably and look natural. These dentures can replace a few missing teeth (partial dentures) or an entire set of teeth (full dentures), depending on your needs. Removable dentures are designed to be taken out for cleaning and maintenance, providing a flexible solution for those who have lost teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease.
Advantages of Choosing Removable Dentures
Choosing removable dentures at Alfonso Dental Miami comes with several benefits. First and foremost, they restore your ability to chew and speak properly, which can be compromised when teeth are missing. Additionally, dentures support the facial muscles, preventing the sunken appearance that often accompanies tooth loss. Our dentures are crafted to look as natural as possible, enhancing your smile and boosting your confidence. Furthermore, removable dentures are typically less expensive than other tooth replacement options, making them an accessible solution for many patients.
Challenges of Living Without Dentures
Living without dentures when teeth are missing can lead to significant challenges. Difficulty in chewing certain foods can result in nutritional deficiencies, while speech may be affected, leading to potential embarrassment in social situations. Over time, the absence of teeth can cause the facial structure to sag, giving an aged appearance. Moreover, remaining teeth may shift, leading to bite problems and further oral health issues. By opting for removable dentures, you can avoid these complications and enjoy a more functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.
