Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are a reliable and natural-looking solution for replacing one or more missing teeth in a row along the same arch. A bridge is made up of customized crowns that anchor to the surrounding teeth and support a row of replacement teeth (pontics) that look just like your original ones. This not only restores your smile’s appearance but also helps you maintain proper bite alignment and prevents the neighboring teeth from shifting out of place. In some cases, a dental bridge can also be supported with dental implant posts.
Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetics that are used to restore missing teeth, and there are multiple types. Complete dentures, sometimes called full dentures, entirely restore a mouth that has no remaining teeth, while partial dentures restore some missing teeth. Implant-retained dentures, which combine traditional dentures with innovative dental implants, provide even further stability to the restoration.
Dental Implants
Dental implants have become the gold standard of care to replace missing teeth; in fact, research indicates that implants are the best treatment option to replace missing teeth and are the most lifelike alternative to natural teeth. They also impart all kinds of unique benefits to patients, including the prevention of further bone loss in the jaw. However, the best part is that Dr. Kham can perform the dental implant process right here in our Washington, DC office.
