Procedures of Dental Bridges and Implants

Dental Bridges and Dental Implants


Sometimes teeth are missing due to previous extractions or congenital conditions. Dentistry now offers options for tooth replacement that not only look great, but also restore the natural function of the teeth. In many cases, dental implants are the best option for replacing a missing tooth. The implant itself, placed by a surgeon who specializes in implant procedures, will take the place of the absent root. After a period of healing, we will design a crown to be attached to the implant. The end result is a restoration that is a close as possible to having your tooth back.

If implants are not an option for you, we can design a fixed porcelain bridge which attaches to the teeth on both sides of the missing tooth space. We can give the illusion that the tooth is still present.
