Dental Bridges
If you have lost one tooth or a few adjacent teeth, a dental bridge might be exactly what you need. This prosthetic is (usually) made of two crowns fused to a pontic (i.e., an artificial tooth) that relies on your other natural teeth for support. These adjacent teeth serve as “abutments” and are altered to place the restoration. From there, the final bridge should blend well and last ten years or more with proper care.
Dentures
Dentures suit patients who’ve lost several or more teeth. Each of these devices has artificial teeth and a gum-colored base. From there, they differ according to whether they’re partial, full, or implant-based. Partial dentures only replace a few teeth and seamlessly fit into any gaps. Meanwhile, full dentures sit snugly over the gums and restore a whole arch at once. Implant dentures rely on implants for security and offer a more stable option.
Dental Implants
Today, dental implants are the gold standard of tooth replacement. Each one is a small titanium post that acts as a substitute tooth root. Once set in your jaw, they slowly fuse with the surrounding bone tissue and become more secure. This fusion allows the implants to behave like real teeth. To further support such results, our practice does the placement in-house. That means your treatment will benefit from Dr. Sanchez’s expertise and skill.
