What is prosthodontics?

Prosthodontics is a dental specialty that the American Dental Association recognizes to include expertise in cosmetic improvements, crowns, inlays, dental veneers, dental bridges, dentures (complete and removable), dental implants, TMJ disorders treatments, facial and dental injury, hereditary teeth anomalies, and maxillofacial treatments. Prosthodontists can completely rehabilitate and reconstruct one's dental structure when it sustains damage due to a variety of problems. We particularly focus on the design and fitting of artificial teeth replacements. Our prosthodontics office strives to offer the highest quality of care with the greatest restoration results.

Can you replace my missing tooth?

Yes. Replacing missing teeth is one of our most performed procedures. We offer only the most state-of-the-art dental treatments for missing teeth.

Below are the most common options patients prefer:  Dental Bridges:

We can create dental bridges that are removable or fix the dental bridges to the jaw. Most patients prefer fixed bridges unless their dental health only allows for a removable option. Our fixed dental bridge normally consists of porcelain or composite materials. It is anchored in place permanently to the natural teeth, adjacent to the site of the tooth that is missing. These natural teeth are called abutment teeth, and they will need to be crowned to hold the bridge (artificial tooth) in place. Our dental bridges are very durable and sturdy, allowing for great chewing and speaking abilities.

Dental Implants:

These replace one or more missing teeth. They can also support dentures. A dental implant is a titanium rod acting as an artificial root, that we surgically place into the jawbone. We then place an artificial tooth on the implant, after the implant fuses with the jawbone. Dental implants are permanent, creating a nearly perfect imitation of the look and feel of a natural tooth. Dental implants are the most attractive and stable tooth replacement option.
