Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is actually a combination of multiple restorations. Two crowns hold a number of prosthetic teeth between them. The bridge is placed on top of the natural teeth adjacent to the gap where the missing teeth used to be. Thanks to a dental bridge, you can completely fill in the empty space that can be a source of embarrassment when you smile, while also ensuring that the nearby teeth will not have a chance to drift out of place.
Dentures
You can get full dentures to replace an entire row of missing teeth, but partial dentures are also available if there’s still plenty of healthy dental structure in your mouth that’s worth saving. Unlike bridges, which are fixed in place, dentures are normally removable by design. That means it’s very important that you take them out of your mouth at night to give your gums a rest and also to give the oral appliance a thorough cleaning from every possible angle.
Dental Implants
Only dental implants can replace the roots of your missing teeth in order to make sure that the underlying bone remains stimulated and well-nourished. If you decide that dental implants are your best option for tooth replacement, we can refer you to a local specialist for the surgery. Afterwards, you can return to our office so that Dr. Kerr can complete the process by designing and placing a lifelike prosthetic on the fully integrated implant posts.
