Dental Procedures
Completing your Smile

You will smile larger and more often when you are free from missing or gapped teeth. With tooth replacement, the tooth may be fixed (permanently cemented) in the mouth or removable. Either way, we can show you the most comfortable, natural and beautiful solutions. This may include permanent implants or prosthetics.

Our most common Prosthetic Procedures are:

Fixed Partial Dentures (Bridges) - can replace one or many missing teeth, this type of appliance requires a minimum of one solid anchor tooth on each side of the space. The amount of anchor teeth included depends on the length of the span with the missing teeth.

Removable Partial Dentures - can replace one or many missing teeth, this type of appliance can be made entirely of plastic or it can have a metal framework under the plastic.

Complete Denture - replaces all teeth in the upper or lower arch; this appliance is usually made entirely of acrylic.

Implant Supported Partial or Complete Dentures - can replace several or all of the missing teeth; by using implants for support, these appliances are much more stable.
