If you are missing teeth, our experienced dentists may recommend dental bridges or dentures to restore your smile and support your oral health. Tooth loss can impact your ability to chew, speak and feel confident in your appearance. Fortunately, both bridges and dentures in Falls Church, Virginia, offer effective, reliable options for replacing missing teeth. Your custom treatment will be based on your oral health needs, aesthetic goals and the number of teeth you need to replace.
Fixed Dental Bridges for Long-Lasting Replacement
A dental bridge is a nonremovable restoration that replaces one missing tooth or several teeth in a row. The bridge is anchored in place by dental crowns placed on the adjacent teeth or dental implants. These crowns securely hold an artificial tooth or teeth in the gap, restoring your bite and your confidence. In most cases, a bridge can be completed in just two visits to Mosaic Dental.
Our dentists may recommend a bridge if you are looking for a fixed solution that does not require daily removal or adhesives. Dental bridges in Falls Church, VA, help you maintain normal speech and chewing, support facial structure and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of position. They are crafted to match the natural color and contour of your smile for a seamless appearance. With proper care, a dental bridge can last for many years.
Custom Dentures for Comprehensive Tooth Replacement
Dentures are removable oral appliances designed to replace several missing teeth or an entire dental arch. If you have lost most or all your teeth, dentures can help you regain your ability to speak and eat, as well as restore your facial volume and appearance. We offer both complete and partial dentures in Falls Church, VA, based on your specific needs.
Types of Dentures
Complete dentures are used when all teeth in an arch are missing. These restorations are designed to sit snugly on the gums and may be used with an adhesive for improved stability. Partial dentures, on the other hand, are recommended when some natural teeth remain. These dentures are supported by a thin framework and often include metal clasps that attach to the surrounding teeth for a secure fit.
Both complete and partial dentures are custom made to fit comfortably and look natural. We take care to ensure your dentures support your facial muscles and help you maintain clear speech and effective chewing. Our skilled dentists will work closely with you to make sure your dentures feel right and function well.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Bridges & Dentures
What are the benefits of choosing a bridge over a denture?
A dental bridge offers a stable, fixed solution that does not need to be removed for cleaning or sleeping. It feels more natural during everyday activities like chewing and speaking. Bridges are often ideal when only a few teeth are missing and adjacent teeth can support the restoration.
How do I care for my dentures at home?
Proper denture care includes daily brushing with a soft denture brush and soaking them in a cleaning solution overnight. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the material. Always rinse your dentures before placing them back in your mouth to remove any cleaning agents that could cause irritation.
Can I eat normally with a dental bridge or dentures?
Yes, but it may take a short adjustment period. With a bridge, you can typically return to your regular eating habits quickly. With dentures, start with soft foods and gradually reintroduce harder textures as you become more comfortable and confident with your new appliance.
How long do dental bridges and dentures typically last?
Dental bridges can last 10 years or more with good oral hygiene and routine dental visits. Dentures may need to be adjusted, relined or replaced every five to eight years due to changes in your gums and bone structure. Regular checkups help extend the life of your restoration.
