Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a prosthetic that is traditionally used to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth in a row. The crowns at either end of the bridge are attached to your natural teeth; the pontics (artificial teeth) between the crowns are used to fill in the gap in your smile. By using a dental bridge to fill the space, we can prevent your remaining teeth from drifting out of place so that you can avoid further oral health complications in the long run.
Dentures
When you think of replacing teeth, dentures are likely one of the first options that come to mind. There are two main kinds of dentures: full dentures and partial dentures. While a full denture is used to replace an entire arch of teeth, a partial denture is designed to fit into one or more gaps throughout your smile like a puzzle piece. Traditionally, dentures are designed to be removable, allowing you to take them out of your mouth so that they can be cleaned as thoroughly as possible.
Dental Implants
You may have heard that dental implants are the modern gold standard for tooth replacement. This is because they are the only kind of dental prosthetic that replaces the roots of missing teeth, allowing them to provide the stimulation needed to prevent the jawbone from deteriorating. Also, having your new teeth attached to dental implants means they won’t slip while you’re trying to talk or chew.
