Missing a tooth can take a toll on our self-esteem, as well as lead to difficulties eating, talking, or chewing. A tooth may seem small, but it plays a huge role in our lives. When you need to replace one or more missing teeth, you can rely on the experts at 7x7 Dental Implant & Oral Surgery Specialists to provide gentle oral surgery treatment in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
Depending on your individual condition, you may find that dental implants are right for you. A full-arch restoration procedure can restore an entire arch of new teeth using as few as 4 dental implant posts. No matter your condition, our oral surgeons are highly trained and experienced when it comes to knowing what is right for our patients. Seeing you smile makes us smile, too!
Dental implants have many great benefits:
Dental implants are a popular tooth replacement option because they are affordable, realistic, and last a lifetime with proper oral care. The oral surgeons at 7x7 Dental Implant & Oral Surgery Specialists regularly perform dental implant placements, so you can trust that you are in good hands when you step into our practice.
Full-arch restoration has many advantages as well:
If many teeth are missing or in need of replacing, a full-arch restoration procedure may be recommended so that you can achieve a healthy, complete smile that you will love to show off. This new arch of teeth is supported on as few as 4 dental implant posts, which means that they are inserted the same way as a typical single dental implant. The arch of artificial teeth connects to these implant posts, and when you are finished with treatment, you won’t be able to wipe the smile off your face! This tooth replacement option is durable and increases the health of your jaw and bone by providing stability and support.
Another tooth replacement option that we offer is bridges. This option can:
A fixed, tooth-supported bridge is another common option for replacing one or more teeth. This treatment bridges the gap created by missing teeth. The bridge is cemented in place using teeth adjacent to the missing tooth/teeth as anchors. Bridges are natural-looking and are an excellent choice for patients who want non-removable tooth replacements but are not candidates for receiving dental implants.
We also offer full or partial dentures, which can offer the following benefits:
This option for tooth replacement is well-known and used by many. However, many patients complain that they are clunky, don’t quite fit right, or slide around in their mouth. Some people tolerate dentures very well and love that they are removable so that they can be cleaned in a special rinse. For most, a permanent, non-removable option is preferred so that your replacement teeth remain in your mouth at all times and do not require replacement after several years of use. If you plan on receiving dentures, you can also benefit from pre-prosthetic surgery. For this procedure, our oral surgeons make sure that your future dentures will have the perfect fit and feel comfortable in your mouth. To learn more, visit our Pre-Prosthetic Surgery page.
