Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are ideal for replacing one or a few missing teeth in a row along the same arch. As their name suggests, they form a “bridge” to fill the gap left by the lost teeth, relying on crowns placed on the adjacent teeth to anchor the replacement teeth. Bridges are durable and can withstand the daily pressure of biting and chewing, and with the right care, they can last for several years. In some cases, dental implants can be used to support a bridge.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are small titanium posts that can be placed directly into a patient’s jawbone, since titanium can safely fuse with bone tissue. Because of this, they’re able to replace the roots of missing teeth—something traditional restorations cannot do. They also prevent bone resorption, which occurs when teeth are lost and the jaw begins to lose its volume. We’re able to place dental implants right here in our office, and they can be used to replace any number of missing teeth, no matter where they’re located.

Dentures
Dentures are probably the most recognizable form of tooth replacement. They can assist patients who are missing all of their teeth (full dentures) as well as those who are only missing some of their teeth (partial dentures). They aren’t just for show, either—they offer a fully functional solution as well. Dentures normally are held in place with adhesives and muscle control, but it’s becoming more common for dental implants to support them.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
We understand the impact that missing teeth can have on your confidence, as well as your oral health. Thankfully, full mouth reconstruction exists to assist patients with severe tooth loss. Using state of the art techniques and materials, as well as a combination of necessary restorative services like dental implants, dentures, and more, we can create a custom treatment plan designed to rebuild and restore every single tooth in your mouth.
