Tooth Replacement Options
Implant and Denture Solutions to Restore Your Smile
Missing Teeth?
Good news: You have options! Our team will help you understand what’s right for you so you can smile confidently again.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants replace one or more teeth by permanently fusing with your jawbone. Because they stimulate bone growth, implants help prevent bone loss and facial sagging—all while giving you a strong foundation for your new teeth.
Parts of a dental implant:
- Implant – A titanium or ceramic screw that serves as a root for your new tooth.
- Abutment – Connects the implant to your new tooth. Only removable by your dentist.
- Crown – The visible part of your tooth, usually made of zirconium or porcelain.
Full Arch Replacement
If you’re ready for a fixed smile you never take out, Hybridge® full arch may be for you. This approach replaces all teeth on the upper and/or lower arch, using 5-6 implants per arch.
- Best for: Patients missing most or all of their teeth who want teeth that stay put: no adhesive, no taking them out at night.
- Why people love it: A chrome-cobalt core for strength, lifelike teeth, and implants built to last for decades. If a tooth ever chips or wears, it can be repaired, often right here in our office.
Multiple-Tooth Implants
Missing several teeth in a row but not ready for a full arch replacement? A multi-tooth implant (or implant-supported bridge) can restore your bite and confidence.
- Best for: Replacing several teeth with a stable, fixed solution.
- Why people love it: Longer lasting and less maintenance compared to traditional bridges and dentures.
Single-Tooth Implants
A single implant replaces one missing tooth with a natural-looking, long-lasting restoration that blends perfectly with your smile.
- Best for: Replacing one tooth without affecting the others.
- Why people love it: Feels and functions just like the real thing.
Ceramic Implants
Looking for a metal-free alternative? Ceramic implants are a strong, stable, metal-free option made from biocompatible, tooth-colored zirconia. Dr. Brad will tell you whether ceramic or titanium implants fit your situation best.
Dentures
Modern dentures have come a long way. Whether you need full dentures or just partial dentures, today’s dentures fit better, look more natural, and feel more comfortable than ever.
- Best for: Patients who want an affordable, removable option to replace several or all missing teeth.
- Why people love it: Custom-made in our own lab with premium, wear-resistant teeth, for a natural look and a better fit.
