Our practice has built a solid reputation of delivering high-quality dental care in a clean, comfortable, professional -- and most of all -- friendly environment. While our practice is diversified, with patients ranging from children to seniors, we do provide special care for seniors. This may involve extensive tooth repair and replacement, along with cosmetic and functional restoration of the entire mouth. To ensure that patients receive the most current advances in dental treatment, we routinely attend dental education seminars.
Cemented Bridgework
When a tooth is missing or cannot be fixed, today we have the option of replacing it with an artificial tooth (implant) or constructing a restoration that spans the space of the lost tooth with an artificial tooth called a "pontic". This is called a fixed bridge. It is always held by a minimum of two natural teeth and can have one or more replacement , pontic, teeth. Even though this technology has been in use for most of the last century there have been dramatic improvements in the cosmetics of fixed bridges. There are situations in which an implant cannot be done or will not produce the cosmetic result required, so it is nice that we have fixed bridgework as an option.
