Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a replacement tooth, or pontic, that’s supported by one or more dental crowns. The crowns are bonded to the healthy teeth, known as abutment teeth, closest to the gap from the lost tooth, to hold your pontic in place as you bite, chew, speak, eat, and smile. If you’ve lost multiple adjacent teeth, then a bridge may be designed with multiple pontics to help you regain your smile and your bite’s function.
Partial & Full Dentures
Partial and full dentures are designed for more severe, or complete, tooth loss. A partial denture consists of replacement teeth where necessary and spaces to accommodate the healthy teeth that you retain. The replacement teeth are situated on a comfortable base that may include hidden clasps for optimal comfort and stability. If you’ve lost all of your teeth on your upper or lower dental ridge, then we can design a complete denture to replace them all and fully restore your smile.
Implant-Supported Bridges & Dentures
For patients who qualify, we may suggest supporting a bridge or denture on one or more dental implant posts, which are inserted into the jawbone. Your jawbone heals to the biocompatible posts and allows us to secure your custom restoration to them, creating a prosthesis that not only replaces the visible parts of your teeth, but also their vital roots within your jawbone. The process of placing the pontic onto your implant is known as implant restoration.
