Tooth Replacement Options

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are a durable, permanent solution to replace a missing tooth or even several teeth. As the name suggests, a bridge of replacement teeth is made to fill any spaces from those you are missing, and the device is secured to existing natural teeth, dental crowns or implants, on each end of the gap. There are many types of bridges available, and your dentist from Flourish Dental will consult with you to determine your best match.

Dental Implants

The loss of natural teeth can make eating and chewing difficult or painful and can cause self-esteem issues that cause you to hide your smile. Dental implants are a permanent solution that looks and feels like your natural teeth, correcting issues with your bite and letting you have your natural smile back.

Made from porcelain and titanium, an implant is composed of a crown that is made to look like the rest of your teeth and the body, which is anchored into your jawbone to hold the implant in place. While implants can replace a single tooth, they are also used in bridges and for anchoring dentures, so they do not move freely.

Full/Partial Dentures

Serious oral health conditions may lead to replacing some or all of your natural teeth. If all of your teeth must be replaced, full dentures may be the best solution. Since this can be a big decision, we prefer to meet with you to discuss available options to ensure dentures are the right choice.

Partial dentures are designed to replace several missing teeth and are similar to a bridge only they are removable. The replacement teeth are attached to a metal frame and connect to your natural teeth.
