Permanent Solutions for Missing Teeth
Losing teeth—whether from decay, injury, or gum disease—can be traumatic. It not only alters the way you eat and speak but also changes your facial appearance and overall quality of life. Many people experience emotional distress or withdraw from social activities as a result. Fortunately, at our Columbus, Ohio dental office, modern dental technology offers permanent solutions that restore both confidence and oral health.
Exploring Your Restorative Dentistry Options
Not all replacement options are created equal. At Firouzian Dentistry, we provide a range of restorative treatments tailored to your needs and goals. Some focus on quick fixes, while others are designed to offer long-term stability and a lifelike appearance.
Led by Columbus cosmetic dentist Dr. Mike Firouzian, our practice delivers comprehensive, compassionate care that prioritizes aesthetics and oral function. With advanced training in implant dentistry and full-mouth rehabilitation, Dr. Firouzian takes a personalized, holistic approach to tooth replacement that helps restore health, confidence, and comfort for the long term.
Conventional Bridges and Removable Dentures
Traditional tooth replacement methods, such as bridges and dentures, remain popular for a reason. They can be effective and relatively affordable options. However, these solutions come with limitations.
Dental bridges typically rely on adjacent teeth for support and may not be suitable if several teeth are missing. Removable dentures rest on the gums and often require adhesives to stay in place. Over time, they can lose their fit due to changes in the jawbone.
Some of the common drawbacks include:
- Shifting or slipping when eating or speaking
- Soreness or irritation from ill-fitting appliances
- Frequent adjustments or relining
- Lack of jawbone stimulation, which can accelerate bone loss
Advanced Denture Alternatives for a More Natural Look
If you’re looking for a denture alternative that feels and looks more like natural teeth, we offer options that use neuromuscular and cosmetic dentistry principles, such as New You Dentures and FOY Dentures. These solutions not only improve fit and comfort but also restore your facial profile and reduce signs of aging.
By supporting facial structures, these advanced dentures help reduce the sunken or collapsed look that often occurs with traditional removable appliances. They also contribute to better posture, bite alignment, and facial aesthetics, offering a transformative upgrade in both function and appearance
Implant-Supported Options for Lasting Comfort and Function
For those who want a permanent fix for missing teeth, implant-supported restorations offer unmatched reliability and function. These solutions are designed to mimic the look and feel of real teeth while providing lasting stability.
Why Implants Are Considered the Gold Standard
Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, they fuse with the bone, creating a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or full-arch prosthetics. This integration prevents bone deterioration and provides the following benefits:
- Fixed teeth that look and feel natural
- No slipping or adhesives required
- Easy maintenance and care
- Bone-preserving and jawbone-integrated
- Improved chewing efficiency and speech
Unlike removable dentures, implants don’t just sit on the gums—they become part of your jaw, offering unparalleled support and performance.
A Streamlined Approach to Full-Arch Restoration
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, we offer a streamlined tooth replacement process using a minimal number of implants. This efficient solution anchors a full set of teeth using just four to six implants per arch, commonly known as all-on-4 solutions.
This approach allows many patients to:
- Enjoy a full smile with just four implants
- Experience immediate results with long-term benefits
- Avoid the need for bone grafting in many cases
- Regain chewing power and smile confidence
With this innovative treatment, you can walk into our office with missing teeth and leave with a full set of stable, functional teeth in one procedure. For those with more extensive dental concerns, we may recommend a comprehensive full-mouth reconstruction to address function, aesthetics, and long-term oral health in one personalized plan.
What to Expect from Your Restorative Treatment Plan
Your journey toward a complete smile begins with a comprehensive consultation led by Dr. Mike Firouzian. Known for his friendly demeanor and attention to detail, Dr. Firouzian takes the time to understand your full health picture—from your oral condition to underlying factors like sleep apnea, TMJ, or airway issues that may impact your treatment success.
Using cutting-edge diagnostics, including digital imaging and 3D scanning, we assess your oral health and develop a personalized treatment strategy tailored to your needs and goals.
During your consultation, we will:
- Review your health history and current dental condition
- Take high-resolution images and scans for planning
- Discuss your goals, lifestyle, and budget
- Outline all available options with expected outcomes
Once the best path forward is chosen, we coordinate your care to minimize downtime and optimize results. Whether your solution involves implants, bridges, or advanced dentures, your comfort and confidence are our priority.
