No matter how well you care for your teeth, injuries and everyday wear and tear can take a toll on your teeth and gums. When your teeth fail you, our dental prosthetics can help rebuild your smile. Our office offers the following prosthetics. Dental crowns: Extensively damaged or decayed teeth need urgent restoration to prevent tooth loss and prolonged discomfort. Our restorative services include dental crowns that cover significantly damaged teeth to improve their appearance while providing structural support. A crown-treated tooth looks and functions like other teeth and can last several decades with proper maintenance. Dentures: Also known as fake teeth, dentures are removable appliances that are custom fabricated to replace one or more missing teeth. Dentures can be partial or complete. Complete dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth, while partials replace only a few teeth in a row. Our dentures are created from high-quality materials with pinpoint precision. Most times, the only person who knows they are replacement teeth is the patient! Dental implants: A dental implant is a permanent solution for missing teeth. An implant is a titanium screw that is surgically placed in the jawbone to act as a prosthetic tooth root. Dental implants can support a crown, bridge, or denture. Why does this matter? This means dental implants can replace a single tooth, several, or all missing teeth. Dental implants provide near-perfect aesthetics and oral function like natural teeth. They also promote bone regeneration, enhance confidence, and last a lifetime, making them a fantastic investment. Dental bridges: A dental bridge is a conservative yet effective tooth replacement. It spans the toothless gap between two healthy teeth or implants, replacing missing teeth and preventing oral issues like bite misalignment. Our team designs and places high-quality bridges that provide excellent aesthetics and oral function. Once you replace your teeth with our dental bridges, no one will notice they are replacement teeth. They fit snugly between your teeth and look natural when smiling or talking.

Sleeping and dental conditions are often interrelated.
