Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are designed to replace one or more missing teeth in a row. On either side of the restoration is an anchor designed like a dental crown, which are fused to free-standing replacement teeth, called pontics. The crowns are adhered to the existing teeth on either end of the gap in the smile, while the pontics literally act to bridge the gap in the arch. With good oral hygiene and professional care, these restorations can last for up to a decade.
Dentures
Dentures and partials are typically the last resort for patients who have many missing teeth or untreatable periodontal disease. Both types of dentures are removable acrylic restorations that are used to blend with your facial characteristics. Dr. Anderson takes great care to ensure proper size, shape, and fit for your dentures, all while achieving a natural appearance. Dentures can also help fill out your face and profile, making you look years younger, as well as drastically improve your eating and speaking abilities.
Dental implants can also be placed in the gum tissue to secure a stronger, more stable fit for your dentures.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically secured below the gumline and within the jawbone to replace the missing root structure of one or more teeth. Due to the biocompatibility of dental implants, they’re able to fuse with the jawbone to provide it with critical blood flow and stimulation, which not only creates a strong foundation for replacement teeth to be attached to, but also prevents the bone from eroding over time.
