Dental Bridges
Dental bridges do exactly what their name implies; they “bridge” the gap that’s left behind when teeth are lost. They’re normally used to replace a few missing teeth in a row located on the same arch. The bridge itself is a row of replacement teeth situated between two dental crowns that are placed on teeth adjacent to the gap. In some cases, dental bridges can be secured using strategically placed dental implants.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a special type of dental restoration that can be used to restore any number of missing teeth, no matter where they’re located inside the mouth. They rely on biocompatible posts that are surgically embedded into a patient’s jawbone, meaning that the process for receiving them is inherently more complex compared to dentures, bridges, and other traditional options. Dr. Waite can complete the dental implant process entirely in-house, including possible preliminary procedures such as bone grafting.

Dentures
Dentures have assisted countless generations of patients with missing teeth, and this tried-and-true option remains quite popular today for patients looking to address extensive tooth loss in one or both arches. They consist of a gum-colored base, normally made from acrylic and/or metal materials, combined with several lifelike replacement teeth, called pontics. Dentures rely on muscle control and adhesives to remain in place, though, after a short learning curve, patients find that they’re able to eat, speak, and smile freely with the help of the restoration.
