A dental bridge effectively replaces missing teeth, preserves facial contours, and balances bite pressure. These prosthetics use artificial teeth to span gaps from one or more lost teeth, delivering a natural look while filling the void. Constructed from options like gold, metal alloys, porcelain, or fused combinations, bridges anchor securely to adjacent teeth for stability.

Crowns restore damaged teeth by reshaping and reinforcing them. Dentists apply crowns to teeth fractured, eroded, or decayed, acting as a protective cap cemented over the visible portion above the gums to serve as the new outer layer. Materials include porcelain for natural translucency and strength, metal for durability, or porcelain-fused-to-metal for balanced aesthetics and resilience.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth designed to look, feel, and function like a natural tooth. It consists of two main components: a titanium implant post that replaces the missing tooth root and securely anchors in the jawbone, and a custom, tooth-colored crown placed on top. Dental implants provide a strong, natural-looking solution that allows you to smile, speak, and eat with confidence—no one will ever know it isn’t your natural tooth.

Dentures are removable, natural-looking replacement teeth custom made by your dentist. There are two main types of dentures: full and partial. Full dentures are used when all of the natural teeth are missing, while partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth and are supported by a metal framework that attaches to your remaining natural teeth. Dentures help restore your smile, improve chewing and speech, and support overall oral health.

A dental filling is used to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay, wear, cracks, or fractures. During the procedure, the affected portion of the tooth is removed and replaced with a durable filling material. Fillings can be made from a variety of materials, including gold, porcelain, composite resin, ceramic, or plastic compounds, to restore the tooth’s strength, function, and appearance.

Occlusal disease occurs when the teeth in the upper and lower arches do not align properly, a condition known as malocclusion. If left untreated, occlusal disease can lead to damage of the teeth, supporting bone and gum tissue, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), and the jaw muscles used for chewing. Many people mistakenly assume excessive or rapid tooth wear is a normal part of aging; however, this is often a sign of occlusal disease. Prosthodontic treatment can help relieve pain and discomfort while protecting your smile from further damage.

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from tooth-colored materials such as porcelain and designed to cover the front surfaces of your teeth. They look natural and are an excellent option for patients who want to enhance the appearance, shape, or overall look of their smile.
