Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is built of two crowns and free-standing replacement teeth that replace one or more missing teeth. An impression of your mouth is taken to create prosthetics to fill the empty space. Your adjacent teeth are reshaped to allow dental crowns to be bonded over them to hold the bridge in place. This restores your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. They also encourage better oral health and prevent the surrounding natural teeth from shifting out of place.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard of treatment when it comes to replacing missing teeth because they restore the entire lost structure of the tooth, including the roots. The implants themselves are surgically placed below the gumline and into the jawbone to replicate the roots. Due to the biocompatible nature of the implants, they’re able to fuse with the jawbone to provide it with necessary stimulation and blood flow as well as create a strong and unwavering foundation for a free-standing crown, bridge, or denture to be attached to.

Multiple missing teeth is a problem faced by over 100 million Americans right now, and if that includes you, we can provide a relatively quick, affordable, and natural-looking solution with custom-made dentures. Partial dentures can replace missing teeth while comfortably fitting with your remaining teeth, while a full denture can instantly restore an entire row. In any case, we’ll make sure you leave our dental office with a denture that helps you eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
