Dental Implants & Dentures
Personalized tooth replacement solutions to restore the health, function, and appearance of your smile.
Missing teeth can affect more than your smile. They can make it more difficult to eat, speak, and maintain your long-term oral health. At 34 Ave Dental, we offer a range of tooth replacement options and take the time to explain each treatment so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include dental implants, implant-supported restorations, bone grafting, socket preservation, or digitally designed dentures. Dr. Huang will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and recommend the option that best fits your lifestyle and long-term needs.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. An implant is placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, providing a secure foundation for a custom dental crown.
Implants are designed to restore the appearance, function, and stability of your smile while helping preserve the surrounding bone and supporting teeth. Before treatment begins, Dr. Huang will complete a thorough assessment, including digital imaging, to determine whether dental implants are the right option for you.
Bone Grafting & Socket Preservation
In some cases, additional treatment may be recommended to help support future tooth replacement. Bone grafting and socket preservation procedures can help maintain the jawbone after a tooth is removed or prepare the area for a future dental implant. Dr. Huang will explain if these procedures are appropriate as part of your treatment plan.
Digitally Designed & Fitted Dentures
At 34 Ave Dental, we use modern digital technology to help make the denture process more comfortable and precise. Our iTero digital scanner captures detailed 3D images of your teeth and dental arches, reducing the need for traditional, messy dental impressions.
These digital scans are used to design and create dentures tailored to your mouth, helping support a comfortable fit, natural appearance, and proper function. By combining digital scanning with personalized treatment planning, Dr. Huang works to ensure your dentures meet your individual needs and help restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are designed to replace all of the teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Custom-made to fit comfortably and look natural, they help restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Dr. Huang works closely with each patient to create dentures that are comfortable, functional, and suited to their individual needs.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace one or several missing teeth while working alongside your remaining natural teeth. They help restore your smile, improve chewing ability, and prevent nearby teeth from shifting into empty spaces.
Several types of partial dentures are available, and your dentist will recommend the option that best fits your oral health, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For patients looking for added stability, implant-supported dentures combine the benefits of traditional dentures with the security of dental implants. The denture attaches to implants placed in the jawbone, creating a more secure fit and reducing movement during eating and speaking.
Implant-supported dentures may be recommended for patients who have difficulty with the fit or stability of conventional dentures.
