Serving the Portland OR & Vancouver WA Metro Area

Tooth loss can occur either because of trauma or oral disease and can result in challenges with eating, speaking, and self-confidence. If you have lost one or more teeth, there are many possible tooth replacement solutions for you. Tooth replacement options can include dentures, bridges, and dental implants. Replacing your missing teeth will tremendously enhance your quality of life. Consult our experienced practitioners about which option is the best for you.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a highly sought tooth replacement option for missing teeth. This type of tooth restoration technique involves surgically implanting a titanium post into your jaw bone that acts as a tooth root. Once the post is in place, a dental prosthesis will then be placed on top. This procedure allows the dental prosthesis to function and appear as natural teeth do. For those missing multiple teeth, this procedure can be conducted in tandem with other tooth replacement techniques depending on your individual needs.

Dental implants are the premier tooth replacement option because this procedure completely restores all oral functions that were compromised as a result of tooth loss. This tooth replacement option is permanent and secure. With proper care, your dental implant will last the rest of your life.

However, dental implants may have limitations. Like all surgeries, you must be in reasonably good health to undergo this tooth replacement option, and you must have enough bone to place the dental implant. Depending on your individual circumstances, other tooth replacement procedures could be a more desirable option.

All-On-4 Dental Implants

All-on-4 dental implants are becoming a more popular option because it is a less invasive procedure with much faster healing times. By strategically placing just four dental implants to use as an anchor, we can replace a full arch of missing teeth.

The All-on-4 can be either removable on your own or fixed, which requires a dentist’s assistance to remove. Both options provide great functionality and are more affordable and approachable if you need to replace a lot of teeth at once. If you want to know more about how All-on-4 implants work or see if they’re right for you, get in touch with our team today!

Dentures

If you have suffered extreme tooth loss, dentures are probably the best choice for you. Dentures allow for complete restoration of your teeth, even in the case of severe tooth loss. There are two main types of dentures: complete dentures and overdentures.

Complete dentures are for situations in which all teeth are missing. These dentures are designed to fit over the gums to restore oral functionality. Our experienced professionals will fit you for dentures that will suit your gums exactly.

Overdentures are dentures that can be removed at will and often can be combined with dental implant technology for a lasting smile. This is a good option for those missing all of their teeth. This option allows you to feel confident and promotes oral health. For those that still have teeth left, single tooth implants, or partial dentures may be an option.

Here at Swiss Denture & Implant Center, we also offer both fixed and removable options. Whether you want a solution that you can remove at the end of the day or you want something that always stays in your mouth, we have you covered!
