A bridge is two anchors that support prosthetic teeth. Dental bridges are best for patients with multiple missing teeth. When dental implants secure a bridge, it actually helps support your tooth and jawbone structure. Patients may also choose easily removable bridges.

They are a versatile solution. For example, a crown can cap dental implants, or protect a damaged tooth after a root canal. A dentist can use porcelain ceramic to create dental crowns. Crowns not only look like natural teeth but provide stability and strength to the tooth structure.

Dentists can use implants to replace single missing teeth or secure restorations for multiple lost teeth. Made of a titanium post, abutment, and dental crown, dental implants replace gaps in patient' smiles at the root. Implant-secured restorations like dentures and bridges last longer and feel more like natural teeth than removable options.

Partial and full dentures can replace rows of missing teeth or full arches of lost teeth. Our team works with patients to determine which option best fits their needs. We also ensure that the jawbone is healthy enough to receive dentures before treatment.

Bacteria buildup on and around the gums causes periodontitis, or gum disease. Gum disease can lead to gum recession, loose teeth, and even bone loss. We can help remove the gum infection and prevent tooth loss with our effective periodontal therapy treatments.

An injured temporomandibular joint on either side of the head can cause problems. Symptoms of TMJ problems can include teeth clenching and grinding, jaw pain, and worn teeth. We offer treatment that can relieve TMJ pain or realign the teeth.
