Bridges & Dentures

If you have lost some or all of your natural teeth dentures can be used to replace what you are missing. This improves your health as well as your appearance. Dentures prevent the sagging of facial muscles, which can make a person look much older.

Complete dentures are used to replace teeth when there are no teeth remaining. The teeth are prefabricated acrylic which come in many sizes, shapes, and shades. They are processed into a custom made acrylic base which is made to intimately and comfortably fit the gum tissue in your mouth.

A partial denture is a removable appliance that replaces missing teeth. It is held in place by your existing teeth. It is important these teeth be healthy in order to support your partial; often they need treatment prior to making the partial.

Bridges are a fixed appliance used when one or more teeth are missing and there are healthy teeth on both sides of the open space. Modern cosmetic restorations like bridges look and feel just like your own natural teeth.

Bridges, dentures and partials can also be supported by or fixed to an implant. These kinds of dentures are variously called “All-On-X”, “All-On-5”, etc.

All of these options can result in greatly improved appearance for your teeth and face, improved oral and general health and a better quality of life.
