Dental bridges have been helping patients enjoy full and functional smiles for decades. Designed to fill in the gaps in a person’s smile, they consist of custom-made dental crowns that cover healthy abutment teeth on either side of the gap. The remaining pontics (artificial teeth) rest on top of the gums and serve to create the complete look. These restorations can be placed in just two visits and can last a decade or longer with optimal care.
Full and partial dentures have immense benefits. Whether faced with multiple missing teeth along a row or full replacement of an entire arch of teeth, these prosthetics serve to boost confidence and restore functionality. Both are made using gum-colored acrylic to match the gum tissue as well as artificial teeth that serve to allow for a greater appearance, improved confidence, and the ability to eat, chew, speak, and smile with ease.
Patients who prefer permanent replacement teeth can achieve desired results with dental implants. Carefully crafted and placed according to the updated technology used in-house, these titanium posts mimic natural tooth roots to continue providing stimulation to the jawbone as well as a firm foundation for new teeth. With dental implants, you no longer have to worry about the potential for accidental slippage or your teeth falling out. Instead, you can feel confident and comfortable with your new, permanent smile.
