Dentures & Partials
Do you have multiple missing teeth on opposite sides of your mouth or maybe you are missing all of your teeth in a single arch? Full and partial dentures can provide a quick, affordable, and effective solution. Full dentures are customized to fit your mouth exactly as well as rely on natural suction and bone to stay in place. Partial dentures use of metal or acrylic hooks that wrap around existing teeth in order to stay in place.
Dental Implants
Considered to be the gold standard for tooth replacement, dental implants are incredibly effective for replacing both the crown and root in one treatment. It integrates with the existing bone and gum tissue in order to stay in place, and as a result, is the closest thing to a natural tooth. If you need to replace several teeth at a time, dental implants can be designed to do that as well!
Dental Bridges
To replace one or more teeth side by side, we can create a dental bridge that sits on top of existing teeth in order to fill the gap in your smile. Dental bridges consist of several crowns that are fused together, with a dental crown on either side hollowed out for effective anchorage. Keep in mind that a small amount of tooth enamel needs to be removed in order for the restoration to be properly stabilized.
