Multiple Tooth Dental Implants – Virginia Beach, VA
Rebuild a Beautiful Smile Today!
Your oral health and functions rely on every tooth. Unfortunately, despite your best efforts to preserve your teeth, you have lost a few over the years. Now, your incomplete smile makes it difficult to chew certain foods while your self-esteem also suffers. At Lakeshore Dental VA, we have the solutions you need to replace multiple missing teeth. Besides traditional treatments, you can also enjoy the security of dental implants in Virginia Beach. We will help you make the best choice for your smile to restore your quality of life.
Non-Implant Tooth Replacement Options
Traditional tooth replacement options allow you to quickly and easily fill the space of missing teeth without surgery. They offer a convenient solution to treat tooth loss; however, you will need to have them replaced every few years.
- Crown & Bridge: 1 to 3 consecutive missing teeth can be replaced with a crown and bridge. We take an impression of your mouth to carefully craft prosthetic teeth to match the appearance of your natural ones. The bridge is held in place by reshaping your adjacent teeth to allow dental crowns to be fitted over them.
- Partial Dentures: Custom-made prosthetic teeth are featured in a gum-colored base attached to a metal framework. This allows it to clip or clasp onto your natural teeth to hold it in place. A partial is effective for replacing several missing teeth, whether they are consecutive or not.
- Full Dentures: Despite their bad reputation for looking and feeling fake, dentures are more realistic than ever. An impression of your mouth is used to design a gum-colored base for the ideal fit. It is held to your gum tissue using suction or an adhesive.
The Dental Implant Process
Your dentist in Virginia Beach can also replace your missing teeth with dental implants. Implant posts anchor your bridge, partial, or denture to your jawbone to closely mimic your real teeth. In most cases, you are a candidate for the procedure if you have good oral and general health.
We take a CT scan of your mouth to evaluate your oral structures and to determine the precise location for your implant posts. They are strategically placed into your jawbone using oral surgery. The number of posts needed varies depending on how many teeth you are replacing.
Over the next several weeks, your jawbone fuses to the posts, allowing them to potentially remain in place forever. After your jaw has healed, abutments are placed on each post to connect your custom-made restorations.
Benefits of Dental Implants
The implant posts act as new tooth roots, allowing you to enjoy various benefits that are not possible with other treatments, including:
- Over a 95% success rate to last for several decades.
- Closely look and feel natural.
- Regain as much as 70% of your biting force.
- Preserves your jawbone.
- Protects your facial structures.
- Improves your oral health.
- Cost-effective.
