Experience the Precision of Guided Implant Dentistry
Dental implants
are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth due to their exceptional stability and long-term benefits. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, mimicking the root of a natural tooth. This provides a strong and secure foundation for individual crowns, bridges, or dentures. By stimulating the jawbone, dental implants also help to prevent bone loss, maintaining your facial structure and ensuring a more natural and youthful appearance over time.
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants stand out as a long-lasting and highly effective solution. At Sandia View Family Dental, we elevate the implant process with guided implant dentistry. This sophisticated approach leverages advanced 3D imaging and meticulous surgical planning to ensure the precise placement of your dental implants. By visualizing the ideal implant position before the procedure, we can achieve enhanced accuracy, improved stability for your new teeth, and often a less invasive surgical experience. This translates to faster healing, reduced post-operative discomfort, and ultimately, a more predictable and successful outcome for your smile.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
For patients facing a multitude of dental concerns, such as widespread tooth loss, severe wear, or bite problems, full mouth reconstruction offers a comprehensive path to renewed oral health and aesthetics. Dr. Chris and his team are skilled in developing tailored treatment plans that address all your concerns. This may involve a combination of various restorative procedures, including dental implants, crowns, bridges, and more, strategically orchestrated to restore proper function, alleviate discomfort, and create a harmonious and natural-looking smile that you can feel confident in.
CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns
A damaged tooth can impact both your smile's appearance and its function. While traditional dental crowns involved multiple appointments and a temporary restoration, at Sandia View Family Dental, we offer the convenience and efficiency of CEREC same-day dental crowns. Utilizing advanced CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) technology, we can design, create, and place a high-quality, custom-fitted ceramic crown in a single visit. This means you can walk into our office with a compromised tooth and leave the same day with a fully restored and protected smile, saving you valuable time and minimizing disruption to your busy life.
Digital Dentures
Dr. Chris utilizes advanced dental technology at Sandia View Dental, including creating digital dentures. What are digital dentures? The answer is in the name: dentures created digitally! A digital mouth scan is used for impressions, then the dentures are designed based on those scans. The dentures are created using 3D printing technology and crafted from a strong dental resin, which has proven much more durable than traditional acrylic dentures. The process also focuses on obtaining the correct bite for the most comfortable fit.
Digital dentures won’t change your appearance, as they are created to look like your natural teeth. Replacement is also simple, with no need for new impressions or visits to our office. Your in-house digital dentures are just a phone call away!
Implant-Supported Dentures
For those who require dentures, implant-supported dentures offer a significant upgrade in terms of stability and comfort compared to traditional removable dentures. By attaching dentures to strategically placed dental implants, we can eliminate the common issues of slipping, irritation, and the need for messy adhesives. Implant-supported dentures provide a secure and confident fit, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with greater ease and naturalness.
Dental Bridges
If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge offers a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution to restore your smile's continuity. A bridge consists of artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored in place by crowns placed on the adjacent healthy teeth (abutment teeth) or supported by dental implants. At Sandia View Family Dental, we carefully design and craft our dental bridges to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring your ability to bite, chew, and speak comfortably while enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.
Restoring Function and Aesthetics with Removable Dentures
Removable dentures remain a viable option for replacing multiple or all missing teeth. At Sandia View Family Dental, we understand the importance of a comfortable fit and a natural appearance. We offer both complete dentures (for replacing all teeth in an arch) and partial dentures (for replacing several missing teeth while retaining some natural teeth). Our team takes precise measurements and utilizes quality materials to create well-fitting and aesthetically pleasing removable dentures that can significantly improve your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
