| Replacing Teeth |
| Implants |
Implants are the closest thing available to having your
own teeth.
Dental implants can be an effective method to replace one
tooth, or several teeth. Simply put, an implant is an artificial
device replacing the tooth's root. Each implant consists of
a titanium anchor that is inserted into the jawbone to which
a crown or bridge is attached. An implant can replace a partial
denture or secure a fixed denture.
Today's dental implants allow solid, secure function coupled
with a great looking set of teeth!
- Natural-looking, secure alternative to dentures or partials
- Restore your smile—replace one tooth, or an entire
set
- Feels and functions like natural teeth
- Zero movement---a comfortable and permanent solution
for tooth replacement
- Does not involve adjacent teeth

| Bridges |
Provide a fixed way of replacing missing teeth
by attaching a lifelike, porcelain crown to the adjacent teeth.
The number of teeth that can be replaced depends on the number
and condition of the adjacent teeth.
A bridge is usually made out of porcelain or a combination of porcelain
with a precious metal alloy framework for increased strength. |
