Dental Bridges
Dental bridges do exactly what their name suggests – they bridge the gap that’s left by several missing teeth in a row along the same arch. They rely on pontics, or replacement teeth, situated between two dental crowns that are placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap. With the right care, a dental bridge can last for several years, offering improved eating and speaking as well as a natural-looking appearance.
Dentures
Dentures are a tried-and-true form of tooth replacement that consists of a gum-colored base adorned with beautiful, lifelike prosthetic teeth that function just as good as they look. Dentures can be used to assist patients who are missing several teeth on one or both arches. They rely on adhesives and suction to stay in place, but they can also be combined with dental implants for added stability and permanency.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts that are placed directly into your jawbone, allowing them to act as tooth roots that support a custom-made dental restoration. One of the biggest problems associated with tooth loss is that the empty areas of your jaw will lack the stimulation needed to remain healthy and whole; however, with dental implants, this issue is resolved!
