Dental implants are the most effective man-made tooth replacements available today. An implant is a metal tooth root that will be surgically placed into the jawbone. Over a period of a couple of months, the implant and jawbone will begin to fuse together, creating a stable and secure foundation for the dental implant restoration. Depending on how many teeth are missing, your implant restoration could be a bridge, a crown, or a denture. Once complete, your dental implant will restore the strength, function, health, and beauty of your smile. Implant dentistry is best for those who have a good quality and quantity of bone, so call us today to discover if you’re a candidate for a dental implant!
Bridges
A bridge is an ideal treatment for filling the space created by one or more missing teeth, when implants are not the best option. Bridges are comprised of one or more artificial teeth that our dentists will cement into place using the adjacent teeth for support, thus creating an actual tooth bridge. A bridge is a natural replacement both in function and in appearance for a missing tooth. Depending on your preferences and needs, your bridge could be made using all-ceramic material, a gold alloy, or porcelain bonded to metal alloy. For more information on bridges, or to schedule your appointment, please call today.
