Oral Surgery in Milwaukie & Portland, OR

Many patients choose dental implants to restore one or more missing teeth because they look, feel, and function like a natural tooth. The dental implant post fuses to the jaw bone, preventing the jaw from deteriorating over time. Removable dentures and bridges sit on top of the bony ridge in the mouth and do not protect jaw bone health. Multiple dental implants can support a fixed prosthesis through full-arch restoration, a life-changing procedure for a completely new smile. With proper care, your dental implant will serve you for many years as a long-term solution for missing teeth.

Denture Replacement With Dental Implants

Dental implants serve as an ideal solution for patients looking to replace their dentures. It can be embarrassing to remove your teeth when eating, and it can be inconvenient when dentures slip or cause oral sores. With dental implants, we can affix a fixed denture to multiple implant posts for a secure, healthy, fully functioning smile.

This treatment, known as full-arch restoration, is a long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures. You will be able to enjoy eating and speak with total confidence again without worrying about discomfort, extra products, or jaw bone loss.

Oral surgeons must undergo 4–6 years of additional training after completing dental school. This is known as an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency program. During this time, they gain hands-on surgical experience in a hospital setting while treating a variety of patients. Oral surgeons are trained to safely administer all forms of anesthesia, including general anesthesia. Dr. Lieblick and Dr. Rehrer took their expertise to the next level by becoming board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS). When surgery requires anesthesia or more complex care, general dentists refer patients to an oral surgery office like Beacon Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons.
