Some popular and effective tooth replacement options include:

Dental Implants: The Gold Standard in Tooth Replacement

Dental implants are known to be a durable, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. A dental implant consists of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. As it heals and fuses with the bone—a process called osseointegration—it can provide a strong, stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.

Benefits of dental implants:

Long-lasting (often decades or more)

Natural appearance and function

Helps prevent jawbone loss

Preserves adjacent teeth (no need to alter healthy ones)

Dr. Deb and Dr. Rob are experienced at performing this restorative procedure using advanced technology and techniques. With multiple sedation options available, even patients with dental anxiety can feel relaxed and confident throughout their dental implant process.

Implant-Supported Dentures: Greater Stability, Lasting Comfort

For patients missing multiple teeth or an entire arch, implant-supported dentures offer a secure and reliable solution. Unlike traditional dentures that can slip or shift, implant dentures are firmly anchored to the jaw using dental implants. Depending on your needs and preferences, they can be designed to be either fixed (non-removable) or removable.

Advantages of implant-supported dentures:

Secure and stable fit

Improved chewing ability and speech

Supports jawbone preservation

No messy adhesives needed

If you’ve struggled with loose dentures or are seeking a more dependable solution, implant dentures placed by Dr. Deb or Dr. Rob can dramatically improve your quality of life.

All-on-4^®: A Full Smile in Faster Time

The All-on-4^® treatment concept is an innovative approach for patients who need a full-arch replacement. Using just four strategically placed implants, this technique supports a full set of fixed teeth—sometimes placed on the very same day as your surgery.

Key benefits of All-on-4:

Only four implants per arch

Immediate functionality in many cases

Often avoids the need for bone grafting

Efficient full-arch solution

All-on-4^® may be ideal for patients who want a faster, fixed, and reliable solution to severe tooth loss. At Bethesda Sedation and Implant Dentistry, we utilize cutting-edge dental technology—including 3D imaging and guided surgical planning—to ensure precise placement and optimal long-term results.
