Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement. These titanium posts are placed into the jawbone to mimic natural roots, offering unmatched stability and long-lasting results. Implants support crowns, bridges, or dentures while preserving bone health and preventing shifting in surrounding teeth. Their natural feel and appearance make them a popular choice for patients seeking a durable, confident smile.

Invisalign offers a nearly invisible orthodontic option for patients who want straighter teeth without traditional braces. Clear, removable aligners gently move teeth into alignment with comfort and convenience. Patients can remove aligners to eat, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain excellent oral hygiene. Invisalign is a great choice for adults and teens looking for a discreet, effective way to improve their smile.

Dentures are custom-made removable appliances that restore the ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. They support facial muscles, improve appearance, and offer a natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. Whether you need a full denture or a partial denture, modern materials provide comfort, stability, and a lifelike appearance.

While tooth extraction is always a last resort, it is sometimes necessary due to extensive decay, severe infection, fractures, or impaction. Removing a compromised tooth helps protect your overall oral health and prevent further complications. After extraction, we will review restoration options to support long-term function and appearance.

Wisdom teeth do not always need to be removed, but in cases of crowding, impaction, infection, or discomfort, extraction may be recommended. Removing problematic wisdom teeth helps prevent misalignment, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth. Our team provides comfortable, careful removal tailored to your needs.

Root canal treatment is a common restorative procedure used to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. During the procedure, infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned, and the area is sealed to prevent future infection. This treatment allows you to preserve your natural tooth while relieving discomfort and restoring function.

Dental bone grafting rebuilds the jawbone that has been lost due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. This procedure is often required before placing dental implants to ensure a strong, stable foundation. Bone grafting strengthens the jaw, supports facial structure, and improves long-term oral health.

Dental crowns and bridges repair damaged teeth or replace missing teeth with long-lasting, natural-looking restorations. Crowns cover and protect weakened or fractured teeth, while bridges use adjacent teeth as support to replace one or more missing teeth. At South Arlington Smiles, we offer same-day crowns made with Glidewell’s fastmill.io In-Office Mill, giving patients faster, high-quality results.

Gum grafting treats gum recession by adding healthy tissue to areas with exposed roots. This reduces sensitivity, prevents further gum loss, and improves the appearance of your smile. Gum grafting creates a fuller, healthier gumline while restoring balance to your overall smile.

Metal braces are a reliable orthodontic option for patients of all ages. Using brackets and wires, braces gradually correct alignment issues, bite concerns, and crowding. Regular adjustments guide teeth into their ideal positions, creating a healthier, more attractive smile over time.

Retainers help maintain tooth alignment after orthodontic treatment. Whether removable or fixed, retainers prevent teeth from shifting and protect your long-term results. Consistent use ensures that the time and investment you’ve put into straightening your teeth lasts for years to come.

TMJ disorder affects the temporomandibular joint and can cause jaw discomfort, clicking, headaches, and difficulty chewing. TMJ issues often stem from grinding, stress, or misalignment. Treatment may include nightguards, therapy, or additional dental care designed to restore comfort and function.
