Bridges or Implant Supported Restorations
Bridges fill in missing tooth areas with two or more crowns and an artificial tooth (“pontic”) in between. A newer technology uses a titanium implant that supports the artificial tooth in the area that the tooth is missing. Once the implant is healed, a core (abutment) and a crown will be secured to the implant to restore optimal function.

Dentures or Implant Supported Dentures
When you have missing teeth, a partial or complete denture is used to restore function. Traditional dentures are made with wires and acrylic and when made well can function adequately. Advanced implant supported dentures provide the benefit of significantly increasing stability and function.
