Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are specially designed to replace one or more consecutive missing teeth. They’re comprised of two dental crowns that act as abutments on either side of the restoration. Between the crowns are free-standing replacement teeth called pontics, which are custom crafted to look indistinguishable from your existing teeth. Once in place, dental bridges can last for several years with good at-home and professional maintenance and oral hygiene.
Dentures
Full and partial dentures are able to restore either several missing teeth across a row or an entire arch of teeth. Full dentures are designed to fit atop the gumline, harnessing the power of natural suction to stay firmly within the mouth, while partial dentures are made to fit like a puzzle piece between any existing teeth. Dental implants can also be combined with full dentures for enhanced stability and a more natural feel.
Dental Implants
Dental implants take the best aesthetic qualities of traditional dentures and bridges and combine them with the unwavering stability of titanium implant posts that are surgically inserted below the gumline and into the jawbone. One secured there, they’re able to fuse with the bone through a natural process called osseointegration, effectively replacing the roots of the missing teeth. They can then act as a strong foundation for any type of restoration, including a free-standing dental crown, allowing patients facing a variety of tooth loss situations to benefit from this leading-edge solution.
