What Are My Tooth Replacement Options?

Posted in Dental Implants, Practice News, Reconstructive Dentistry

The tooth replacement options available from our dentist in La Mesa offer many individuals a way to effectively restore both the appearance of their smile and the function of their teeth. Advances in the field of restorative and reconstructive dentistry have made it possible for patients with missing teeth to resolve their concerns without the need for traditional dentures and the drawbacks that can sometimes come with them.

Good replacement solutions for missing teeth should involve treatments that restore the teeth with results that fit comfortably, look natural, and function as though the original teeth were never lost to begin with. Fortunately, Dr. Jimmy Wu offers many state-of-the-art tooth replacement options that can benefit patients who have a range of distinct and unique needs. These treatments include:

• Dental Implants – Now a standard option for teeth replacement, dental implants can be a solution for just one missing tooth or an entire row of teeth.
• Implant-Supported Dentures – With the support of a select number of dental implants, the stability and security of a custom denture can be significantly enhanced.
• All-On-4^® Implant Dentures – All-On-4^® can be ideal for patients who are missing full rows of teeth on the upper and/or lower dental arch.
• Dental Bridges – A tried-and-true method of teeth replacement, dental bridges can be an effective solution for patients who are missing one or more teeth in an isolated area of the mouth.

Once you meet with Dr. Wu for your initial consultation, he will perform an oral evaluation and talk with you about the options that are most ideal for your needs. Some treatment options are more preferable than others, depending on each patient’s concerns and ultimate goals for results. Dr. Wu can explain all aspects of the procedures to help you make the best decision. All of our reconstructive treatments at Sutra Dental Spa are custom-tailored for each patient. This can maximize the likelihood that results will meet expectations and yield outcomes that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
