Dental Bridges
When only one missing tooth or several consecutive teeth in a row are missing, we can recommend a dental bridge. Fixed in place with the help of strong and healthy abutment teeth on either side of the gap, it consists of two dental crowns (the anchors) and remaining artificial teeth, all of which are fused to create a single prosthetic. You can avoid invasive surgery and still experience the benefits of a fully restored smile that can stand up to daily wear and tear for nearly a decade.

Dentures
Full, partial, and implant dentures are suitable options if you are without multiple missing teeth or entire arches. These prosthetics rely on digital impressions of your smile to produce a gum-colored, acrylic base that supports artificial teeth to create a lifelike, fully functional smile. While partials include metal clasps that help hold them in place, full dentures use natural suction, and implant dentures attach to titanium posts that fuse with the jawbone, creating a solid and permanent foundation.
Dental Implants
Capable of replacing the roots and crowns of missing teeth, dental implants are the only restorative solution to rebuild smiles from the bottom up. When placed within the jawbone, the posts fuse with the tissues and mimic the function of tooth roots, delivering stimulation to the existing bone to prevent additional tooth loss and facial sagging. These prosthetics can support a custom crown, bridge, or denture depending on your unique needs, and remain in place for 30+ years.
