Let’s dig a little deeper into some of these procedures.

 

Bridges

Bridges can fill in the gaps created by tooth loss.

The bridge is typically made up of two crowns, which are attached to the teeth on either side of the gap – along with one or more false teeth, which bridge the gap.

Not only can bridges make it easier to enjoy your favorite foods and hold conversations without worry. They also provide a natural-looking solution for individuals who may be self-conscious about missing teeth.
 

Crowns

Dental crowns are a popular restorative procedure that can transform damaged or cracked teeth into a dazzling smile.

Essentially, a crown is a cap, or covering, that’s placed over a damaged tooth to provide protection and support.

First, the tooth is carefully prepared, with any decay being removed. The remaining tooth is then shaped to make sure it fits perfectly with the crown.

You won’t have to worry about unsightly teeth any longer – dental crowns can give you the confidence to smile and interact with others without feeling self-conscious.
 

Dental Implants

One of the most effective and long-lasting solutions for tooth loss? Dental implants.

Unlike dentures or bridges, a dental implant is a permanent fixture that’s surgically placed into the jawbone, where it acts as an anchor for the prosthetic tooth. Over time, the implant actually fuses with the existing bone, creating a solid support system for the new tooth.

Not only do dental implants improve the appearance of your smile, but they also restore functionality to your teeth by allowing you to chew and speak with ease.

Through these restorative procedures, patients can significantly improve both the functionality and appearance of their teeth.

Plus, with proper care, these implants can last a lifetime.

The goal of restorative dentistry is to preserve your natural teeth when possible while ensuring optimal oral health. We work hard to keep your natural teeth healthy, and when you need restorative procedures for missing teeth, we help you choose options that will preserve your other natural teeth while improving the function of your teeth. By filling in the gaps left behind by tooth loss, we can help you prevent further oral health problems, such as bone loss or cavities. Missing teeth can put more stress on the remaining teeth, since you don’t have as much surface area left for chewing. Chewing becomes easier when missing teeth are replaced and your natural teeth are protected against further tooth loss.
