Fix Missing Teeth

There are a number of restorative options available to patients who are missing a tooth or must have a tooth extracted. These include a dental bridge, a partial denture, or a dental implant. Let’s take a closer look at each restorative option.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is a permanent dental prosthesis that spans from one healthy tooth, over the empty space, and onto the next healthy tooth. A fake tooth called a “pontic” is held in place with a dental crown on either side. The crowns fit over the neighboring teeth to help restore the area.

What is a partial denture?

A partial denture is similar to a traditional bridge but instead of crowns on healthy teeth, metal or acrylic clasps hook onto the neighboring teeth to hold the fake tooth in place. A partial denture can be removed by the patient for cleaning and sleeping.

What is a dental implant?

Dental and Implants are by far the most stable and aesthetically pleasing way to restore missing teeth. A dental implant can be used to replace one tooth or an implant bridge can replace multiple missing teeth. A dental implant is a titanium post that an oral surgeon surgically places directly into the jaw bone.
