Partial and Complete Dentures
 Patients who have lost their natural teeth due to decay, periodontal disease or injury can suffer from related problems including further decay, difficulty eating and speaking, and drooping of facial muscles. Full and partial dentures replace the missing teeth both aesthetically and functionally, providing support and restoring the smile. Full (complete) dentures are used when all of the natural teeth have been lost, while partial dentures fill in the gaps between natural teeth. The gums, dentures and any remaining natural teeth will need to be cleaned regularly to prevent staining, sores and plaque build-up.

Crowns & Bridgework
What is a crown?
Crowns are used to strengthen and improve the shape, size or color of teeth. They can support broken or weak teeth or those with large fillings; provide a smooth, strong, attractively contoured surface for stained, misshapen or otherwise abnormal teeth; and aid in the implantation of bridges and other implants.
What can a crown do for me?
Crowns can be used to:
- Cover and support a tooth with a large filling that doesn't leave much tooth left
- Attach a bridge
- Protect a weak tooth from breaking
- Restore a broken tooth
- Cover a discolored or misshapen tooth
- Cover a dental implant
What is a bridge?
Bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements which help maintain facial structure, reduce stress on the jaw and fill in the gaps caused by missing teeth. Fixed bridges are cemented to the existing teeth and do not come out. Removable bridges can be taken out.

Comprehensive Dental Implant Treatment
 Dental implants provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. No more need to deal with uncomfortable dentures or bridges—with permanent dental implants, a person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat and smile with effortless confidence.
Dental implants can support replacements for one tooth, several teeth, or even all of the teeth. Dental implants allow outstanding results in both appearance and function of the new teeth.
The implants themselves are titanium cylinders which are surgically implanted into the jawbone where teeth are missing. Small posts are then attached to the implant, providing stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth, from individual teeth to bridges to full dentures. Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.
Teeth-in-a-Day is a new procedure that gives patients with missing teeth a brand-new smile in a single office visit. With traditional dental implant techniques, it can take several appointments and up to six months or more before patients are ready to receive their replacement teeth. Teeth-in-a-Day replaces missing or damaged teeth with full function and an excellent cosmetic result in just one day!
