Dental Bridges
If you’ve lost a few adjacent teeth, a dental bridge could serve you well. It is a dental prosthetic made of two crowns fused to a pontic (i.e., an artificial tooth.) It’s a device that relies on nearby natural teeth for support. Said pearly whites act as “abutments” that are altered to fit with the restoration. The final bridge is then able to blend with its surroundings. Given proper care, it can last ten years or more.
Dentures
You should give serious thought to dentures if you’re missing several or even all of your teeth. The prosthetic comes in two possible configurations. The first is a partial denture, which replaces non-consecutive teeth and uses a metal framework. Option two is a full denture – a kind that restores a whole arch at once.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard of tooth replacement. Distinct from the other options, they’re small titanium posts set directly in your jaw. They slowly fuse with your jawbone and serve as substitute tooth roots. After this fusion, the implants become highly secure and behave like real teeth. Our practice ensures such results by doing the dental implant placement in-house.
