2 Tooth Replacement Options for Rebuilding Your Smile

Tooth loss is a cause for concern as it impacts how you look, live, eat, speak, and interact with others. Fortunately, restorative dentistry offers several teeth replacement options to give you back a confident, functional smile. Discussing these options with Dr. Christine Karapetian from Washington Periodontics helps you better understand your best choice.

In this post, your Burke, Virginia dentist explores two tooth replacement options for rebuilding your smile:

1. Dental Implants

Implant restorations are supported by implants, which function like artificial tooth roots. The implants are surgically inserted into your jaw to fuse with surrounding bone tissue permanently. Once the implants heal, they become the foundation for rebuilding your smile. Dr. Karapetian can use implants to replace single missing teeth, multiple missing teeth in a row, an entire arch of upper or lower teeth, or all your teeth using dental crowns, an implant bridge, or implant dentures as your replacement teeth. 

2. Implant Overdentures 

Implant overdentures offer yet another approach to resolving major tooth loss issues. They combine the stability of implants with the convenience of detachable “snap-on” dentures for easy maintenance and care. Implant overdentures give you the best that dentures and implants offer – convenience, functionality, and esthetics – for a pleasing, confident smile.
