Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are designed to replace anywhere between one and four missing teeth in a row. By filling the gaps in your arch, we can prevent your surrounding teeth from shifting out of place to fill the space, which could create bite problems (such as clicking and TMJ pain), misalignment, and increase your risk of additional tooth loss. After getting a traditional bridge, which sits on top of the gums, bone loss will continue where the roots used to be. Fortunately, bridges can also be anchored to dental implants instead of your existing teeth to prevent this, preserving your natural dental structure and offering even more stability and longevity.
Dental Implants
Dr. Mazhari has extensive training from renowned advanced education organizations like the LVI, allowing her to complete the entire dental implant treatment in-office as well as offer different variations of the procedure. From mini dental implants for those who don’t want to undergo a bone graft to All-on-X dental implants to restore an entire row of teeth in as little as one appointment, Dr. Mazhari can customize your treatment to meet your unique needs.

Dentures
Traditional dentures have long been a trusted method of restoring smiles, allowing you to regain a full-looking grin without needing to undergo surgery. If you’re interested in more stable and natural-feeling results, Dr. Mazhari can also attach your denture to between four and six dental implants—the choice is yours! Regardless of what type of dentures you choose, you’ll be able to enjoy a full smile once again.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
If you are experiencing several difficult issues with your oral health and your smile, such as tooth loss, decaying teeth, gum issues, TMJ, and more, you may be a candidate for full mouth reconstruction. A full mouth reconstruction, or rehabilitation, is the terminology for a combination of dental treatments that address multiple concerns simultaneously. Each treatment plan is uniquely designed to suit the patient.
Getting a new smile through full mouth reconstruction is often a life-changing experience for patients, enabling them to regain their quality of life and their sense of self-confidence. In many cases, this process can help patients to keep as many of their natural teeth as possible, avoiding the need for full dentures.
Why is Replacing Missing Teeth Important?
A missing tooth, or several missing teeth, has many effects on your oral and overall health. When a tooth is lost, the missing tooth root no longer stimulates healthy bone growth in the jaw where the tooth used to be. This affects the shape of the jaw over time as remaining teeth begin to shift and fill the void if left untreated, often leading to changes in the bite and other complex problems. In addition, the changes precipitated by a lost tooth that is not replaced increase the risk of periodontal disease and tooth decay. Missing teeth can affect your speech and ability to chew certain foods, forcing social and dietary changes that affect your quality of life each day.
Dr. Mazhari emphasizes the importance of proper and prompt tooth replacement to avoid the development of additional dental problems and to ensure the ability to choose from a range of tooth replacement options. If left untreated for too long and in the presence of complex concerns, your replacement options, such as dental implants, may become limited and less appealing.
