Dental Implants

This is surgically implanted, so a dental implant can offer a sturdy and long-term solution for tooth replacement.  Traditional dental implants involve three stages and will take place over several months.  It is a lengthy procedure, but dental implants are favored because it is the most similar to natural teeth.  All-on-4 Dental Implants are similar to traditional dental implants, the process is just much quicker!  We specialize in All-on-4 Dental Implants, so ask us anything about them and we would happy to answer your questions!  Whichever you choose or is recommended, they will last for many years or even decades! #smilewithconfidence

Bridges

There are several types of dental bridges.  A dental bridge is a device that can “bridge” the gap where your missing tooth/teeth once were.  Unlike dental implants, which do not affect your surrounding teeth, bridges will attach to your adjacent teeth for support. All on 4 Mesa AZ

Dentures

If you have more than just a few missing teeth, dentures may also be recommended. #martindental  Dentures are removable and will consist of numerous artificial teeth.  A full set of dentures will look and function like a full set of teeth.  Overdentures will fit over a few remaining teeth.  They can take some time to get used to wearing, but after some adjustment, they should begin to feel natural and comfortable.
