Dental Fixed Bridges
When teeth are lost, a fixed bridge can be used to replace them. This tooth replacement prosthetic relies on two dental crowns, one on each side, to support a replacement tooth or teeth. The replacement teeth and dental crowns are fused together into one restoration. Then, the dental crowns are attached to surrounding healthy teeth for support.

Full & Partial Dentures
Partial and full dentures are used to replace teeth following extensive tooth loss. Partials replace any number of teeth along a single arch and are held in place by clasps attached to remaining healthy teeth. Full dentures replace an entire row of teeth, and they are held in place through natural suction between the gums and denture. Each denture is crafted specifically to fit into the patient’s smile, and when made and placed properly, they fit comfortably.
Dental Implants
While full dentures and partial dentures can fulfil your basic needs for chewing, speaking, and smiling, they tend to lack the stability and strength of your natural teeth. If you want your new grin to look and feel as much like your natural one as possible, you will want to support your new restoration with dental implants – thin, screwlike titanium posts that can fuse directly with the jawbone itself to replace your missing tooth roots.
