Dental Bridges
If you’re missing between one and four teeth in a row, we may recommend a traditional dental bridge to restore the function of your smile as well as prevent surrounding teeth from shifting to fill the gap. This type of restoration is composed of two dental crowns, which anchor either end of the bridge to the existing teeth, and between one and four free-standing replacement teeth, called pontics.
Dentures
Full and partial dentures have long been trusted to replace several to all missing teeth in an arch. They’re affordable, functional, and allow patients to smile with greater confidence knowing that their smile is complete once again. Partial dentures are designed to anchor to existing teeth to fill the gaps in between them, while full dentures are made to sit atop the gumline and utilize natural suction to stay securely in place. They can also be anchored to dental implants for added stability and a lifelike feel.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically secured below the gumline and into the jawbone, allowing them to function like your original tooth’s natural roots. Because they’re biocompatible, they can fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, which will provide necessary blood flow to the area as well as remarkable stability for your restoration. Whether you need a single free-standing crown, bridge, or denture, dental implants can support any type of restoration.
