We offer Restorative Dentistry Options.
A great way to think of dental implants is to think of them as artificial tooth roots. They take the place of your natural teeth’s roots to anchor down a new tooth. When you get a dental implant, the new root is placed in the jawbone and will fuse with your natural bone to create a strong anchor for a new, artificial tooth (called a crown) to be placed on top. Dental implants are a wonderful way to get back your smile and look natural. Dental implant technology has been extremely successful for over 30 years and are the strongest way to replace natural teeth and roots. Some facts about dental implants:

Another popular restorative dental option is dentures. Dentures and partial dentures are removable appliances that replace teeth when implants and bridges are not an option. They can be supported by remaining healthy teeth, implants, or they can replace all teeth.
Full dentures are complete rows of prosthetic teeth for both your upper and lower jaw, affixed to gum-colored bases. When you have healthy remaining teeth, our dentists may suggest a partial denture to close the gaps in your smile. Partials contain as many prosthetic teeth as necessary to fill in the spaces left by missing teeth, and they fit with existing teeth like a puzzle. Partials can be secured to hidden clasps or dental implants and, unlike a bridge, they are removable.

There’s also a third type of denture that can restore your smile. Unlike the previous dentures we talked about, implant-supported dentures are not removable. It’s kind of like combining implants and dentures into one, fixable appliance. With this treatment, dentures are essentially locked into place by implants, which can deliver unparalleled denture stability and functionality.
