Prosthodontics (Replacement Teeth)

Modern replacement teeth, like crown and bridgework, dentures, partials, and dental implants, look natural and function like strong, healthy teeth. Our dental lab uses hidden clasps and lifelike dental materials for gorgeous prosthetics. They also focus on a proper fit, because a smile must look good and feel good.

Fixed bridges, also called crown and bridgework, replace one tooth or a few teeth in a row. As the name implies, a bridge is not removable. To fabricate a bridge at least one tooth on both sides of the space must be prepared for a crown. Then a false tooth or teeth are joined to the crowns and the entire structure is cemented to the prepared teeth. The patient cannot remove the bridge and special aids are available to keep it clean.

Partials replace missing teeth, not necessarily in a row, on the upper or lower jaw. Dentures replace all teeth, upper or lower. Our office focuses on esthetics and function for dentures and partials. Read about dentures and partials.

If you want a prosthetic that closely mimics nature, we may recommend a dental implant. With a titanium anchor that functions like a tooth root, a dental implant becomes an extension of your body – just like a natural tooth. Learn more about dental implants.
