Dental Bridges
A dental bridge might be a good choice for restoring your smile if you’ve either lost a single tooth or more than one tooth in a row. We can create a bridge by combining two dental crowns with one or more free-standing prosthetic teeth called pontics. The crowns are used to secure the restoration to two of your natural teeth; the pontics are what ultimately fill in the gap. Your bridge will be carefully personalized so that it resembles your natural teeth as closely as possible.
Dentures
Dentures are often the tooth-replacement option of choice when several or all of the teeth in a single arch are missing. The gum-colored base of the denture supports several custom-shaded, natural-looking false teeth. Partial dentures that fill in multiple gaps in your smile can be secured in place with a clasp; full dentures that replace an entire row of teeth rely on natural suction to stay on the gums. Unlike traditional bridges, dentures are removable and should be taken out of your mouth when it’s time to clean them.
Dental Implants
Depending on your oral health and the state of your jawbone, you may be eligible for dental implants, which are often seen as the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. The implant posts are surgically placed in your jaw, which lets them act as new tooth roots in order to prevent bone loss. It also helps them look and feel more like natural teeth. Are dental implants a good fit for you? We can answer that question if you schedule a consultation at our office.
