Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard when it comes to replacing missing teeth – they can be used to restore any number of lost teeth, no matter where they are located in the mouth. The implants themselves are small posts placed directly into the patient’s jaw during surgery, and they then fuse with the bone tissue to form a sturdy base for a future dental restoration. Although the process of receiving dental implants involves more steps and greater commitment on the patient’s part, it’s truly a revolutionary form of tooth replacement that can last a lifetime.

Dental Bridges
A dental bridge does exactly what its name implies-- it “bridges” the gap left by one or more missing teeth in a row. It does this using realistic replacement teeth, called pontics, placed between two dental crowns on the adjacent teeth. There are different types of bridges, and some can even be supported with dental implants. With the right care, a dental bridge can last for many years.
Dentures
Dentures have assisted countless generations of patients with missing teeth throughout the years and remain a tried-and-true solution for rebuilding smiles. Dentures come in different types to address varying degrees of tooth loss: partials can replace just a few missing teeth, while full dentures can replace entire arches. The restoration consists of a gum-colored base, usually made from acrylic, and as many replacement teeth as needed. In some cases, dental implants can be used to support dentures, but traditionally, they rely on suction and adhesives to remain in place atop the gum tissue.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Some patients worry that after years of severe dental issues or major tooth loss, their smiles aren’t worth the time or effort – but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Your smile deserves to be healthy, whole, and beautiful. This is why our office also offers full mouth reconstruction, a streamlined, fully customized treatment process with a simple goal: to restore the look, feel, and function of every tooth in your mouth. We use a combination of restorative procedures to rebuild your appearance and boost your confidence.
