Missing Teeth?

Why Not ‘Grow’ New Ones?

Dental implants are the ideal way to replace lost teeth. From the front of the mouth, where they are most visible, to the back, where they provide stability to chew a full variety of foods, implants can help you recapture a beautiful and healthy smile. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, which sit on top of the gums, dental implants are placed under the gums. The “tooth” placed on an implant appears life-like, because it comes through the gums just like the original did – it’s like growing a new tooth! Implants can be used to replace any number of lost teeth. Even people with no teeth can benefit from implants, because they can replace their dentures with teeth that don’t move around when they talk and don’t need to be taken out at night. Because we handle the entire process from implant placement to crown fabrication, there’s no need to be referred to another office.

Overdentures

Overdentures – No More Messy Denture Adhesives!

People who wear dentures will tell you that the worst part is having their teeth slip, tilt, or slide while they’re eating. They have to use denture adhesive to try to keep their teeth from moving around. This is a major irritant for them. But now, at Fairlington Dental, we offer our denture patients an alternative – overdentures.

With the use of just a few dental implants to support the dentures, your teeth will be “locked” into place so they won’t move. Yet they easily snap off for cleaning. Say goodbye to messy creams! Ask us if you are a candidate for overdentures!

A Traditional Option

For some patients, traditional dentures are the best option. Dr. Rogers can custom design natural-looking dentures that fit so securely you can talk, eat, and smile with confidence that they will stay in place. If you are a denture wearer, be sure to ask us about this. It will make your life so much easier.
