- How we evaluate the best solution for your case.
Do you avoid certain foods because they have become far too difficult to chew?
Has it been years since you've sunk your teeth into a juicy steak or a crunchy apple?
Your natural teeth can fail as a result of traumatic injuries, poor oral hygiene, or rampant gum disease. The number one reason for tooth loss is gum disease. When an infection in your gums is left untreated, it attacks the jawbone and causes the tooth to pull from its socket. Loose teeth are extremely sensitive and often difficult to save.
Whatever the reason for tooth loss, The Village Dental can provide safe, high-quality dentures that Pinecrest patients trust to restore their smile and chewing ability.

The Beauty of Dentures
Our family dental office can design partial dentures Miami patients love for those with a few missing teeth or full dentures for patients who are missing entire arches of teeth. Our cosmetic and functional dentures are durable and restore your natural beauty by filling out your cheeks and maintaining the vertical height between your chin and nose. You'll also be able to chew your food without sensitivity!
At The Village Dental, we perform a careful inspection of your mouth and facial features as well as jaw function prior to fabricating your new set of dentures. When you return for regular visits, we will occasionally reline the interior surface of dentures to assure a continual snug and comfortable fit.
Dr. Castillo takes pride in crafting beautiful and functional dentures for patients struggling with missing teeth. Our office can design partial dentures for those with a few missing teeth or full dentures that do not obstruct your speech and give you optimal lip support.
Extra Support With Dental Implants
While dentures are aesthetic solutions, they do not equally match the chewing force of your natural teeth. To have your biting force return close to its original state, we recommend jawbone preservation dental implants.
Dental implants naturally fuse to your jawbone and provide 90% of the chewing power you had with your natural teeth. Our dental implants are made from titanium and can support dentures and individual crowns. The first dental implants were placed in the 1960s, and now the technology is so advanced that is can be done with minimal, if any, discomfort to the patient.
Dental implants have become so overwhelmingly popular because of their strength and ability to preserve your jawbone. When you lose your teeth, your jawbone begins to recede and your nose and chin actually grow closer together. By placing jawbone preservation dental implants, we can preserve your jawbone and simultaneously preserve your youthful appearance.
In some cases, bone grafting for dental implants is required to ensure the dental implant can provide maximum support. If cared for properly, dental implants can last a lifetime!
Our dental implants are placed by Dr. Kaufman, our in-house periodontal surgeon, who brings exceptional skill and precision to every procedure.

Since my commitment staying with this practice I moved out of state to SC and Texas. Presently.I am in North Central Florida, I share this because I would not have gone anywhere else for braces, cosmetic work and dental fixes along the way,
The 3 dentists who have worked on me are excellent. Without their expertise, I would not have my beautiful smile today! – Cynthia
Dental Bridges: Another Solution
If patients are not candidates for dental implants, we recommend using dental bridges as an excellent alternative. A bridge simply fills the gap created by missing teeth. We can craft a bridge with three or more dental crowns that is natural-looking and will bring back your biting power.
To place a bridge, we prepare the adjacent teeth that will support the device. Once the teeth are prepared, we then place a permanent restoration that will restore your smile for years to come. Bridges offer immediate results and are a proven solution that many patients love. We place crowns over the supporting teeth to ensure stability, creating a lasting restoration that functions beautifully. The benefit is a complete, natural-looking smile without surgery or extended healing periods.
Complete Evaluation and Care
Dr. Castillo carefully evaluates each patient before recommending oral surgery. Our office also checks in with patients following their procedure to make sure their recovery is on target.
Whether you have missing teeth and need complete dentures, partial dentures, or your options include restoring missing teeth with single implants, implant-supported bridges, traditional bridges, or implant-supported dentures, we provide comprehensive solutions tailored to your specific needs.
