A guide to replacing teeth and rebuilding smiles that shine with confidence
Smiles should be a source of pride. As a central feature of your face, they are unmistakable and often make a lasting impression without a single word. At Semidey Dental, we believe everyone deserves to feel great about the appearance, feel, and function of their teeth.
To help you make that wonderful first and lasting impression, we offer a comprehensive range of dental restoration services to replace missing or failing teeth. These tooth replacement options can truly transform the lives of our patients in Davie, Florida, by transforming their smiles.
I still have some healthy teeth. What options might be available to me?
First, our dentists, Drs. Alex Semidey and Sara Tarte, will evaluate the condition of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. Based on this assessment and in consultation with you, we may recommend dental bridges, partial dentures, or dental implants to replace one or a few teeth.
Dental bridges are a fixed solution that relies on neighboring “anchor” teeth for stability, securely holding the bridge in place. Partial dentures, or “partials,” attach to the remaining teeth using specialized clasps or other connectors and can be removed for cleaning.
What about using implants to replace a few teeth?
Implants are highly versatile. Here again, depending on the condition of your remaining teeth and the supportive bone, we may recommend a single dental implant to replace one tooth. Alternatively, a dental bridge may be stabilized in the jaw with a few precisely placed implants to replace more than one tooth. This alternative does not rely on existing healthy teeth for its support. Rather, the crown or bridge is held in place by implants that function as tooth roots.
What if I don’t have any healthy teeth left?
No worries! Semidey Dental is here to help, and few treatments are as rewarding to us as full-mouth rehabilitation or smile makeovers with implants. At our office in Davie, FL, we are equipped to provide minimally invasive approaches to implants and other dental services. We have the expertise to use a minimal number of implants to support or retain a maximum number of teeth. This approach, often called “All on 4,” promotes the most pleasant and comfortable experience at the dentist’s office. It minimizes the number of implant sites and the time spent “chairside” or in treatment.
Our patients appreciate that rebuilding an entire upper or lower arch of teeth with as few as four implants is not cost-prohibitive! You don’t have to be independently wealthy, a celebrity, or royalty to benefit from full-mouth reconstruction with dental implants. There is sure to be an option that is right for you and your budget.
