Replacing Missing Teeth

We offer three options in tooth replacement, depending on how many teeth are missing and the individual patient’s needs.

Bridges

Bridges replace a missing tooth using crowns that fit over the teeth adjacent to the gap left by the missing tooth. The new tooth is held in place between these crowns. Bridges may also be anchored to dental implants.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants are a sturdier and longer-lasting alternative for people with multiple missing teeth and who have sufficient bone density to support them. Dental implants are surgically embedded into the jawbone. Once the post is in place, the bone and gum tissue heals around it, making it a durable substitute for the natural tooth root. After the posts have healed appropriately, tooth restorations such as porcelain crowns, bridges, or dentures may be mounted to them.

Dentures

Dentures are a popular option when all or most teeth are missing. The key to making dentures work is achieving the perfect fit. Dr Halley and her team’s experience can help ensure that the most comfortable and secure denture fit is achieved. Like bridges, dentures may also be attached to dental implants.
