Bridges
A dental bridge can replace one or several missing teeth. Using two neighboring teeth to support it, a bridge is placed in the space where the missing tooth (or teeth) is. A bridge can be permanently cemented into place and appears natural.
Crowns
It is important to protect a natural tooth after a root canal or serious decay has damaged it. A crown is placed over the tooth, providing strength and support to it after it has been repaired.

Partial & Full Dentures
Dentures help maintain the function and dimension of the mouth, as well as restore the face to a more natural shape. Without teeth, bone loss occurs and causes the face to be concave. You can replace a few or an entire set of teeth (upper and lower) with dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Flossing reduces the number of bacteria in your mouth. There are millions of these microscopic organisms feeding on food particles left on your teeth. These bacteria live in plaque and can be removed by flossing. Brushing your teeth gets rid of some of the bacteria in your mouth. Flossing gets rid of the bacteria the toothbrush can't reach. If you do not floss, plaque remains between your teeth and eventually may harden into calculus/tartar. Plaque can be removed by brushing, but only a dentist or dental hygienist can remove calculus/tartar. Ask your dental professional to show you the proper way to floss. You will both notice the difference at the next cleaning appointment.
It is important to brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily.
Replace your toothbrush every three months. It is recommended that patients with periodontal disease replace their toothbrushes every four to six weeks.
