Dental Bridges
One of the most common solutions for replacing teeth is through a custom-made dental bridge, which is essentially a series of dental crowns fused together to create one larger restoration. Bridges are fixed, which means they are not meant to be removed for regular cleaning. To place a bridge, we hollow out the crowns on either end of the bridge and place them on top of teeth adjacent to the gap in your smile, much like a traditional dental crown. The remaining crowns, or pontics, bridge the gap and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.
Dentures
Whether you have several missing teeth on opposing sides of your mouth or you’re missing all the teeth in either arch, dentures offer a comprehensive and affordable solution. While both dentures have different methods for fitting inside the mouth, they both utilize ceramic and acrylic materials in order to take on the most natural appearance possible. As you get used to wearing your denture, our dental office will go over all aftercare steps you need to know to keep it in good condition.
Dental Implants
Unlike other tooth replacement methods, dental implants are designed to replace the entire tooth. This includes the root portion that extends below the gum line and adheres directly into the jawbone. By performing this additional restorative step, you can expect a longer-lasting tooth replacement, increased biting strength, and the best esthetics that restorative dentistry has to offer. Additionally, dental implants can be used to replace single, multiple, and even all the teeth in your smile.
