Dental Bridges
With the ability to replace anywhere from one to four missing teeth in a row, dental bridges are designed to anchor onto existing teeth and literally bridge the gap in your arch. They are comprised of two main parts: dental crowns that secure the restoration within the mouth, and free-standing replacement teeth called pontics that are customized to look lifelike.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are small titanium posts that can be surgically inserted below the gumline and into the jawbone to replace the root structure of missing teeth. As a result of this root-to-crown restorative approach, patients are able to prevent jawbone deterioration and regain most of their original bite force. Due to the biocompatible nature of dental implants, they’re able to fuse with the jawbone to provide an unwavering foundation for a free-standing crown, bridge, or denture to be attached to and restore the smile.

Dentures
Traditional full and partial dentures are removable, trusted prosthetics that are cost-effective and a very popular choice for patients missing several or all of their teeth across an arch. They’re comprised of acrylic, gum-colored bases that hold natural-looking replacement teeth within the mouth. Their removability makes them easy to clean and care for as well, allowing patients ease-of-use.
