Crowns & Bridge
Restore lost or damaged teeth as a long-term solution that can help prevent the cycle of problems that can occur when just one tooth is missing, such as the shifting of the remaining teeth, decay, periodontal disease, and bone loss.
- Dental Crowns – Sometimes called caps – go over the top of the tooth and provide additional support. Sometimes this support is designed to reinforce a bridge, but other times a cap is installed on its own to support the tooth when there is no longer sufficient tooth structure left to place a filling. Crowns may also be used to protect the structure of a tooth that is fractured or broken. Crowns can be made of ceramic, gold, or metal.
- Bridges – Installed when a patient loses one or more permanent teeth. When a bridge is installed, the teeth on either side of the gap are crowned to provide additional support. The bridge is then installed between the crowns, replacing the lost teeth, restoring your smile, and maintaining your natural bite.
Mini Implants
A mini implant is smaller in size and is less invasive than a conventional implant. They are usually made of titanium and are placed within the bone to support dentures or crowns, giving you the ability to eat, smile, and speak with confidence. One of the benefits of a mini implant is that it does not require multiple appointments like the conventional implant, allowing you to see immediate results.
