Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are prosthetics specially made to replace one or more teeth missing in a row. They literally bridge the gap in your smile by being anchored to the two natural teeth on either side of it. The dental crowns on both ends of the bridge are fused to free-standing replacement teeth called pontics. Once the crowns are secured and the bridge is in place, you’ll have a complete arch of teeth again.
Dentures
Whether you’re missing several or all of your teeth along an arch, you can likely benefit from dentures. They come in two styles depending on your needs: full and partials. Both prosthetics have a gum-colored acrylic base that supports natural-looking ceramic replacement teeth. The primary difference is that full dentures utilize the strength of natural suction to stay secured to the gums, while partial dentures are designed to fit like a puzzle piece between your remaining teeth. Once placed in your mouth, both of them give you a full and functional smile.
