Dental Bridges
Dental bridges do exactly what they promise, they build a bridge in your mouth created by the loss of one or more consecutive teeth. The restorations are comprised of two dental crowns that are anchored to your existing teeth and up to four free-standing replacement teeth, called pontics. Once the crowns are cemented to your natural teeth, the bridge will fill the space in your arch, allowing you to smile and eat with ease once again.
Dentures
Traditional full and partial dentures are a time-trusted answer to replacing several or all missing teeth in a row, and they’re fully customized to meet your unique needs. Partial dentures have a metal or acrylic base that’s created to fit like a puzzle piece between your existing teeth, slotting the replacement teeth securely within your mouth. On the other hand, full dentures have an acrylic base that utilizes the natural suction of your mouth to sit atop your gumline. Dentures can also be anchored within the mouth using dental implants for a more unwavering result.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are small titanium screw-like posts that are surgically placed below the gumline and into the jawbone to replace the missing roots of the teeth. They’re biocompatible, so they’re able to fuse with the bone through a naturally-occurring process called osseointegration. Because of this, dental implants are able to stop the erosion of the jawbone, and they function as an unwavering foundation for any type of dental restoration to be attached to. The results are lifelike in every way and absolutely priceless.
