Don’t Struggle with the Repercussions of Tooth Loss
If you’re one of the millions of adults with tooth loss, you know this can impact your bite, speech, food choices, and self-esteem. Remaining teeth can wear out unevenly and shift, leading to misalignment, jaw pain, and even TMJ-related symptoms.
The good news is that The Exact Smile, our branded dental implants in Pickerington, Columbus, and Westerville, OH, offers a versatile option to restore your smile and improve your quality of life!
What Is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants at The Ohio Center for Oral, Facial & Implant Surgery consist of a titanium implant post, a connecting abutment, and a crown. The implant post is placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, the abutment connects the post to the crown, and the crown is a natural-looking restoration crafted from durable zirconia.

Tooth Replacement Options in Pickerington,

Tooth Replacement Options in Pickerington, Columbus, and Westerville, OH
Single
Implants
Single dental implants at The Ohio Center for Oral, Facial & Implant Surgery are a superb solution for replacing one missing tooth because they restore the entire tooth structure, including the root. Unlike bridges, implants don’t rely on or compromise adjacent teeth and also better preserve jawbone and oral health.
Dental
Bridges
Although dental bridges are a good option for replacing a single missing tooth, they require modification and crowns on either side of the pontic (false tooth). An implant-retained bridge is a more permanent solution for two or more missing teeth in a row that better preserves the jawbone, while reducing the risk of gum recession.
Flippers
A dental flipper is the least expensive way to replace a missing tooth and is often used as a temporary tooth until a permanent restoration is ready. Made of lightweight acrylic, flippers help retain smile aesthetics and prevent surrounding healthy teeth from shifting into the gap.
Metal
Partials
A removable partial denture cast in metal and plastic offers a less fragile option than flippers. Held in place by wire clips, this type of removable denture can be removed for nightly cleaning and reinserted by patients.
Dentures
Traditional dentures are removable prosthetic appliances that replace multiple missing teeth and restore basic function and appearance. While they can improve chewing and aesthetics, they may shift over time due to ongoing bone loss, resulting in gum irritation and the need for periodic relining.
Full-Mouth
Dental Implants
If you have failing or missing teeth, severe jawbone loss, or are completely edentulous (toothless), full-mouth dental implants in Pickerington, Columbus, and Westerville, OH can provide a significant and dramatic transformation. From your free full-arch implant consultation to surgery using X-Nav X-Guide®, you’ll benefit from the extensive implant expertise of Dr. Manraj Bath, with implants placed at precise positions, angles, and depths.
Why Choose Dental Implants Instead of Traditional Restoration Options?
Unlike conventional dentures that must be removed nightly and cleaned, full-mouth dental implants can be cared for with the same daily oral hygiene routine as natural teeth. While dentures are designed to fit snugly, they require adhesive, can slip, click, irritate the gums, interfere with speech, and limit the foods you can comfortably eat.
Full-mouth dental implants at The Ohio Center for Oral, Facial & Implant Surgery replace a minimum of four tooth roots per arch, thereby preserving bone, stimulating new growth, and supporting beautiful, fully functional zirconia teeth. In contrast, neither traditional bridges nor dentures prevent bone loss, leading to facial collapse, although more so with dentures than bridges.
