Living with missing teeth can significantly impact your oral health and overall well-being. At Karl A. Smith, DDS | Periodontics & Implants of Alexandria, we understand the importance of restoring your smile and enhancing your quality of life. If you’re considering dental implants to restore your smile, it’s crucial to address any concerns that may arise from prolonged tooth loss.

Teeth have a natural tendency to shift position when a gap is present, leading to potential issues with neighboring teeth. This shifting can complicate the placement of dental implants and compromise the stability of your smile. To ensure the success of your implant procedure, it may be necessary to realign your teeth through orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontic procedures, such as traditional braces or clear aligners like Invisalign, are effective in gently repositioning your teeth. By correcting misalignments, we can create the ideal foundation for your dental implants. While traditional braces are highly effective, we understand that their appearance may concern some patients. That’s why we offer alternatives like Invisalign, which provides discreet orthodontic treatment without sacrificing effectiveness.

Regardless of the orthodontic option you choose, collaborative care is essential to achieving your desired results. Our team is dedicated to working closely with you to ensure that your smile restoration journey is seamless and successful. We prioritize your comfort, satisfaction, and overall oral health every step of the way.
