We Can Help Replace Your Missing Teeth

Dental implants

Dental implants are small titanium posts anchored into the jawbone. Dentists can use implants to replace a single missing tooth, as well as anchor bridges, partials, or full dentures. In a brief surgery, we can secure a few dental implant posts to hold your prosthetic in place. And with implant-supported dentures and partials, you won't have to worry about slippage. Your dental prosthetic will feel safe and sound.

Fixed bridges

A bridge is a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) that attaches on one or both sides to teeth prepared with dental crowns. A fixed bridge is joined onto the neighboring abutment teeth (crowned teeth) and consists of three basic units: the false tooth or teeth (called a pontic) and two abutment crowns. Your style of bridge will depend upon the strength and health of the abutment teeth, as well as the location of the gap in relation to the rest of your dentition.

Partial dentures

A partial denture (or known as just a "partial") consists of multiple teeth on a gum-colored base. The teeth on a partial are not in a row but are spread across the base to fit like a puzzle with your existing teeth. A partial is normally secured with clips or brackets. Unlike a bridge, a partial can be removed.

Full dentures

A full denture is a complete top or bottom row of teeth mounted on a gum-colored base. Full dentures can be closed or open palate and may require a denture adhesive to hold them in place.
