Tooth Replacement in San Diego, CA

Though not inevitable, losing one or more teeth is common and can occur suddenly, often at the most inconvenient times. Preventable causes of tooth loss include decay and gum disease, while cases due to trauma, natural aging, illness, and medications are harder to control.

To ensure our patients regain their beautiful, natural-looking smiles, La Jolla Cosmetic Dentistry & Orthodontics creates restoration treatment plans based on each individual’s oral health, cause of tooth loss, number of missing teeth, timeframe, and budget, using the highest quality materials possible. The following solutions are available to replace a single, individual tooth, a full set of teeth, and everything in between.

Dental Implants

As the gold standard of tooth replacement, our dental implants offer complete restoration for one or more missing teeth. Because the implant posts act as artificial tooth roots, they provide the stimulation needed to maintain jaw health. Dental implants are versatile and can support several dental restoration options.

Learn more about dental implants and how they support a range of permanent tooth replacement options that look, feel, and function just like natural, healthy teeth.

Dentures and Partials

Replacing up to a full arch of teeth, dentures and partials have been around for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. They provide an economical tooth replacement solution when most or all the teeth are missing. These dental prosthetics are designed and fitted to your specific needs and secured with adhesives or clips to look natural and feel comfortable.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implants can be added to dentures and partials (implant-supported dentures) for additional advantages. When supported by dental implants, dentures provide a secure and stable bite without slippage for a lifelike solution to a full arch of missing teeth.

Dental Bridges

A tried and true tooth replacement method, a fixed dental bridge is ideal for one to three adjacent missing teeth and offers restored function and aesthetics. Healthy teeth on each side of the gap are needed to serve as anchors for a long-lasting, traditional fixed bridge.

Implant-Supported Bridges

When no healthy teeth are available to support a bridge, this tooth replacement option can be secured with dental implants for a permanent and comprehensive solution.

Bone Block Grafting

Bone block grafting is a specialized oral surgery designed to restore jawbone volume and density lost due to missing teeth, advanced gum disease, or facial trauma. Using advanced techniques, lost bone is restored, preparing your jaw for the placement of dental implants and other dental restorations.

Surgical Extractions

Surgical extractions are advanced dental procedures used to remove teeth that cannot otherwise be easily accessed or pulled using a simple extraction technique. Unlike standard extractions, surgical extractions require creating an opening in the gum tissue and sometimes removing small amounts of bone or sectioning the tooth into smaller pieces for easier removal. Surgical extractions are typically used to remove impacted teeth, severely damaged teeth, or teeth with unusual root shapes.

Sinus Lift

Sinus lift surgery is a procedure designed to carefully raise the sinus membrane and add bone to the upper jaw. This precise surgery is an essential step in the dental implant process for patients who have experienced bone loss due to tooth loss, as it provides the stability and support needed for secure, long-lasting restoration.

Tori Removal

Tori removal is a minor oral surgery designed to eliminate benign bony growths inside your mouth, restoring comfort and function. Using precision dental tools and techniques, Dr. Kohani removes the tori, reshaping and smoothing the bone to provide a stable foundation for dental restorations and improving the comfort and function of your mouth.

Tongue Tie Surgery

Tongue tie surgery is a precision oral surgery procedure performed to release a tight frenulum under the tongue. It is designed to restore tongue function and mobility, and can improve your ability to speak and eat more comfortably.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a specialized oral surgery designed to restore volume and density to the jawbone. Using advanced techniques, bone loss due to periodontal disease, tooth loss, or injury is repaired, restoring structure and stability to your jaw and remaining teeth.
