Reconstruction

Crown and Bridge

A crown covers the entire tooth visible above the gum line, enclosing the damaged tooth completely. Bridges are used for missing teeth, when it is necessary to fill an area left open by a missing tooth. The dental bridge is a false tooth that is fused between two crowns to fill in that area. This is a fixed bridge – meaning it cannot be taken out of the mouth like removable partial dentures.

Implants

Implant is a specially constructed replacement for the root portion of a missing tooth. It is surgically placed in the jaw and allowed to heal over a period of months. Then, this "replacement root" can be restored with a porcelain cap or crown. Implants are particularly useful for people who have lost many of the teeth from the back of the jaw. When this happens, it may affect the shape of the lower face jaw and neck. Implants can correct this condition. It also provides a psychological boost to the patient with the dramatic improvement to overall appearance.

Dentures and Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are removable appliances for the replacement of one or more missing teeth. When all teeth are missing, a full denture is made.

With the advances in dental technology, dentures and partial dentures can feel and function more like natural teeth with the addition of implants. Some dentures wearer may be able to completely eliminate a removable appliance with implants. Call us to find out if this recommendation is right for you.
