Restorative Dentistry
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges span the gaps left by missing or extracted teeth to fully restore your smile. Our dentists shall be happy to provide custom-made dental bridges that will fit snugly between your teeth and provide strong, long-lasting support. Please feel free to contact Temburni Family & Aesthetic to schedule an appointment with our dentist in Falls Church, VA, if you believe you may benefit from a dental bridge.
If you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth in a row, we may recommend a dental bridge to restore your smile. A bridge is a fixed dental restoration, meaning it is non-removable. The dental bridge is anchored in place through the use of two dental crowns, which are custom made to fit your smile and are placed on the teeth or dental implants next to the space left by the missing tooth. These crowns hold the artificial tooth in place to restore your smile, ensuring that your restoration will not easily shift or come loose. It typically requires only two visits to our practice to complete the dental bridge. Dental bridges are designed to last for many years and to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile.
Our dentist may recommend a dental bridge to improve your smile by:
• Alleviating excess stress on the bite
• Improving the shape and volume of your face
• Replacing an unwanted removable partial denture
• Preventing the remaining natural teeth from moving out of position
• Enhancing the appearance of your smile
We will help you determine whether a custom dental bridge is the right choice for restoring your smile after tooth loss. For more information, please call or visit us today.
Dental Crowns
Our dentists and dental team work hard to stay current on the latest advances in dental technology and techniques. Dental crowns are one of the last lines of defense for preserving badly damaged teeth. They are usually necessary for teeth that have experienced:
• Large Cavities
• Large Fractures
• Failed, Old Fillings
• Dental Implant Treatments for Individual Missing Teeth
Rather than patching up a tooth with a filling, the crown covers the entire tooth. It allows the tooth to continue functioning normally. Regular biting and chewing is no longer a problem, whereas an unrestored tooth would break down over time.
Your Crown Treatment
Most of our Temburni Family & Aesthetic crown treatments take two visits to complete. Your first appointment involves prepping the tooth and taking an impression to design your permanent crown. A temporary crown is bonded into place for about two weeks. Then you return for your second visit where the permanent crown is permanently cemented over the tooth. Our crowns are usually made of Ceramics, Zirconia.
Dentures
Dentures are removable oral appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. If you are missing several teeth or all of your teeth, dentures might be just what you need to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile. There are two kinds of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures.
Complete Dentures are used to replace all of the teeth in a full dental arch. We may suggest a complete denture to replace all of the teeth in both arches or just one, depending on your individual needs. Our dentist may suggest using a denture adhesive for improved stability.
Partial Dentures are used if you are missing multiple teeth but have remaining natural teeth. A partial denture often includes a thin framework or clasps that attach to the natural teeth for a secure fit.
Our dentist may recommend complete or partial dentures to restore your smile if you are missing multiple teeth; dentures can improve your ability to properly speak and eat, restore your natural facial volume, and enhance the overall beauty of your smile. Your dentures will be custom made to fit your smile comfortably, aesthetically, and securely.

Dental Implants
Inexpensive Implants - Falls Church, VA
Dental implants offer permanent tooth replacement. Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.
Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Teeth appear natural, facial contours are preserved and the ability to eat can be regained. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence.
Traditionally, dental implants have been an expensive treatment that not many people could pay for. Thankfully that is beginning to change, and now at Vogue Dental, we can deliver comprehensive dental implant treatments that you can afford.
What Are Dental Implants?
The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
The Surgical Procedure
Dental Implants - Falls Church, VA
For most patients, the procedure of dental implants at Temburni Family & Aesthetic, Falls Church, VA involves two phases. First, implants are placed within your jawbone and in the next three to six months the implants gradually bond with the jawbone. Patients are encouraged to wear temporary dentures and have a soft diet. Our dentists meanwhile work on the permanent denture.
After the implant has bonded to the jawbone, the second phase begins. Our dentist will uncover the implants and attach small posts that protrude through the gums and will act as anchors for the artificial teeth. When the artificial teeth are placed, these posts will not be seen. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients experience minimal disruption in their daily life.
