Dental Bridges
When two or more consecutive teeth cause a gap within the upper or lower arch, a dental bridge can be crafted to fill the space. This custom creation uses two dental crowns that anchor to healthy abutment teeth so they will remain firmly in place for 10-15 years. The remaining artificial teeth (pontics) rest on top of the gums. Another option is to anchor the crowns to two dental implants that offer a longer-lasting result than those provided by a fixed bridge.
Dentures
Full and partial dentures are designed to replace multiple missing teeth or full arches. Custom-made to fit comfortably, they consist of gum-colored acrylic bases that support artificial teeth that are strategically positioned and put into place. Partials remain stable because of a plastic or metal framework, while full dentures require denture adhesive and natural suction to avoid slipping.
Dental Implants
Surgically placed below the gumline and into the jawbone, dental implants can potentially last a lifetime. Unlike other solutions that require replacement after a decade or more, these prosthetics support customized crowns, bridges, and dentures for decades so that you can move on with life knowing that your smile looks natural and continues to function perfectly.
