Missing Teeth Mission Viejo
Rebuilding Smiles With Your Goals in Mind
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that more than 1 in 7 adults aged 65 or older have no natural teeth. Researchers indicate that nearly one-quarter of adults within the same age group only have 8 or fewer teeth. Tooth loss is a significant concern the older a person is, which is why providing effective replacement options is essential for better oral and overall health. Dr. Sy offers dental bridges, dentures, and dental implants – all of which are designed to rebuild smiles and restore function, aesthetics, and confidence. Don’t let missing teeth continue to hinder your way of life. Call our office to schedule a consultation today.

Dental Bridges
Replacing missing teeth can be done in a nonsurgical manner with the use of a bridge. We utilize adjacent teeth as anchors to carry a new tooth. Once secured in place, the prosthetic will blend in with surrounding teeth, creating a cohesive aesthetic while also preventing dental drift – the shifting of natural teeth in an attempt to cover a gap. With proper hygiene, bridges are a suitable and lasting method for replacing teeth.
Dental Implants
Full root-to-crown tooth replacement is possible with dental implants. Acting like natural tooth roots, these titanium posts are surgically implanted into the jawbone by a board-certified oral surgeon to deliver maximum support and stability to your new smile. We top the posts with a customized restoration – a dental crown, bridge, or denture – to create a complete and fully functional set of teeth that can last decades or up to a lifetime with proper maintenance.

Dentures
The most traditional form of tooth replacement we provide is custom dentures. Both full and partial options are available as well as those secured by dental implants. Partials contain a metal framework that helps hold them in place to anchor teeth, while full dentures sit atop the gums, relying on natural suction and adhesive for a secure hold.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction is a complex restorative solution used to repair and rebuild teeth that are badly damaged, decayed, and/or missing. While one form of treatment is often enough, full mouth reconstruction is reserved for those with extensive dental issues that require multiple services to achieve a working and healthy smile. Dr. Sy will meet with you to build a treatment plan that incorporates different solutions so that the result is a newly improved, beautiful set of teeth.
