Dental Bridges
As a traditional form of tooth replacement, a dental bridge can fill in the gaps to deliver a fully restored and functional smile. The two crowns that exist on the exterior of the bridge are placed over your abutment teeth so that they remain secured in place, and the pontics or artificial teeth fill in the remaining space. The entire prosthetic is crafted to match your natural tooth enamel so that everything appears fully blended and beautiful.
Dentures
Attempting to move through life with multiple missing teeth or entire rows can be challenging, so we often recommend dentures. If your upper and/or lower arches are without any natural teeth, we can have a full prosthetic crafted to fit comfortably in place. If teeth are missing along an arch and a dental bridge is not a suitable option, we can offer a partial denture to restore the look of a complete, healthy smile.
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacement is also an option thanks to dental implants. These titanium posts sit within the jawbone, creating a foundation for the supporting restoration, which can be a dental crown, bridge, or denture. Many patients opt for these prosthetics because of how long they can last (30+ years) as well as how natural they look and feel once fully fused with your jawbone. With dental implants, you can eat the foods you love and enjoy better oral health with each passing year.
