Are you hesitant to show your smile because of missing teeth? Missing teeth can significantly impact your self-confidence. At Newbury Park Dental Arts, we offer advanced solutions to replace missing teeth, creating long-term replacements that look and feel just like your natural teeth. Dr. Cristina Markiewicz DDS and our expert team are here to help you explore your options.

Here are some of the most common tooth replacement solutions we offer:

Dentures

Dentures are an effective solution for those who have lost many or all of their teeth. They provide a realistic and aesthetically pleasing smile, making them ideal for patients missing multiple teeth on either the top or bottom. The process begins with taking an impression of your mouth, which is then sent to a lab to create a customized set of dentures. Once your dentures are ready, we will ensure they fit properly and make any necessary adjustments. Regular cleaning with a non-abrasive cleanser is essential to maintain them, and our team will provide you with detailed care instructions.

Bridges

Dental bridges, sometimes referred to as partial dentures, are designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They prevent your existing teeth from shifting into the empty spaces left by missing teeth. Bridges utilize the surrounding teeth as anchors, providing a stable and natural-looking solution. Our team will ensure that your bridge matches your natural teeth so seamlessly that no one will notice the difference.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a long-lasting and durable tooth replacement option. Unlike dentures, which may need replacement over time, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. Dr. Cristina Markiewicz DDS will assess your gum tissue and bone support to ensure they are adequate for anchoring the implant. In some cases, additional preparations like bone grafts may be necessary to provide a strong foundation for the implant.

Benefits of Tooth Replacement

Filling the gaps in your smile is crucial not only for aesthetic reasons but also for preventing deterioration of your gums and the shifting of adjacent teeth. Tooth replacement solutions such as dentures, bridges, or implants can also improve your speech and comfort, allowing you to eat and speak more effectively.
