Dental Bridges
If you’re missing a few adjacent teeth, consider a dental bridge, which consists of two (or more) crowns fused to an artificial tooth. The bridge is thus a fixed restoration that fills in the gap, and if well-maintained, it can reach a lifespan of a decade or more.
Dentures
Dentures are suited for patients who’ve lost many teeth. Typically, they’re made of artificial teeth and a gum-colored base. With partial dentures, they have a metal framework (covered by gum-colored acrylic) and only replace a few teeth by fitting in between your remaining ones. Full dentures, though, sit on the gums and restore a whole arch of pearly whites at once. Should you prefer a more stable choice, our office can also craft implant dentures.
Dental Implants
Dental implants stand out as the gold standard of tooth replacement. Unlike dentures or dental bridges, these posts are set in your jawbone. Their titanium material lets them fuse with your jaw. Once this fusion ends, the implants remain stable and serve as alternative tooth roots. They’ll thus look and behave more like real teeth than other prosthetics. To ensure ideal results, our practice even does the dental implant placement in-house. We won’t refer you to distant outside specialists.
