Tooth Replacement in San Diego, CA

Though not inevitable, losing one or more teeth is common and can occur suddenly, often at the most inconvenient times. Preventable causes of tooth loss include decay and gum disease, while cases due to trauma, natural aging, illness, and medications are harder to control.

To ensure our patients regain their beautiful, natural-looking smiles, La Jolla Cosmetic Dentistry & Orthodontics creates restoration treatment plans based on each individual’s oral health, cause of tooth loss, number of missing teeth, timeframe, and budget, using the highest quality materials possible. The following solutions are available to replace a single, individual tooth, a full set of teeth, and everything in between.

Dental Implants

As the gold standard of tooth replacement, our dental implants offer complete restoration for one or more missing teeth. Because the implant posts act as artificial tooth roots, they provide the stimulation needed to maintain jaw health. Dental implants are versatile and can support several dental restoration options.

Learn more about dental implants and how they support a range of permanent tooth replacement options that look, feel, and function just like natural, healthy teeth.

Dentures and Partials

Replacing up to a full arch of teeth, dentures and partials have been around for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. They provide an economical tooth replacement solution when most or all the teeth are missing. These dental prosthetics are designed and fitted to your specific needs and secured with adhesives or clips to look natural and feel comfortable.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implants can be added to dentures and partials (implant-supported dentures) for additional advantages. When supported by dental implants, dentures provide a secure and stable bite without slippage for a lifelike solution to a full arch of missing teeth.

Dental Bridges

A tried and true tooth replacement method, a fixed dental bridge is ideal for one to three adjacent missing teeth and offers restored function and aesthetics. Healthy teeth on each side of the gap are needed to serve as anchors for a long-lasting, traditional fixed bridge.

Implant-Supported Bridges

When no healthy teeth are available to support a bridge, this tooth replacement option can be secured with dental implants for a permanent and comprehensive solution.
