Benefits of a Dental Bridge

When we are missing a tooth, it can impact all aspects of our lives, from the most basic actions like chewing our food to our performance at work and comfort in social environments. For many, a dental bridge is a great option to consider that can help maintain your dental health while also making you more confident and comfortable. A bridge fills a gap caused by a missing tooth, whether it is a tooth that was pulled or just a tooth you never had. The space is filled with a false tooth, called a pontic, which “bridges” the gap between your teeth and is attached to crowns on either side of the gap

Different Types of Dental Implants

Did you know that hundreds of thousands of dental implants are performed every year in America? And according to the ADA, this number is expected to continue to rise as the years go on. Dental implants are surgically placed components that fuse with your jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis. In layman’s terms, a dental implant serves as a fake root to a fake tooth. Patients need implants for a variety of reasons, such as injury, gum disease, or simply genetics that have left them with a missing tooth. While dental implants are a highly successful solution, there are many types of implants to be considered. At our office, we work with you to determine the best possible dental implant choice for you.

What is a Partial Denture?

So your dentist is recommending a partial denture to compensate for a “gap” in your mouth, but what is it? Turns out, partial dentures are pretty common and have tons of benefits. They require some maintenance but are generally easy to get used to and do a great job keeping your mouth healthy. Partial dentures are exactly what they sound like, a removable denture that fits to only part of your mouth, usually to fill a gap(s) in between your teeth.

Silver crown

Why would you need a crown?

No, not that kind of crown. While it would be nice to be royally crowned, usually when your dentist tells you that you need a crown, it’s not because you’re becoming royalty (though we won’t stop you from thinking that!). A crown is often used in conjunction with other dental procedures. In this post, we go into depth about what a crown is and why you may need one.

Always friendly and professional

I have been a patient there for over a decade and would highly recommend the practice to anyone. All members of the practice are friendly and seem truly happy to be there. Both doctors are great. I’ve had to go in for dental work twice recently and both experiences were as pleasant as dental work could be.

My kids both really love your office. Everyone is incredibly kind, professional and personal. We love the small, family office feel. My daughter used to be anxious about visiting the dentist. Last night she asked to write a thank-you note because she had such a great time at her dental visit! Thank you.

Kate

Professional and friendly

I had a really bad experience with a prior dentist and didn’t want to go back to another dentist for fear of what the prior dentist did to my teeth. I have to say I LOVE this dentist and all the staff here. My fear is gone and I enjoy going to the dentist now. I highly recommend this office!
