Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthesis that replaces one or more missing teeth along the upper or lower arch. Its purpose is to bridge the gap between healthy teeth, and it remains anchored in place by placing the two exterior crowns over adjacent teeth on either side of the space. A bridge can be fixed or attached to dental implants and will improve eating, speaking, and smiling so that a patient will feel more confident in daily life.
Dentures
A full denture is used to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, while a partial denture replaces multiple teeth along a row. Both are generally crafted using acrylic and natural-looking materials that mimic one’s gum tissue and existing tooth enamel. Partial dentures have metal or plastic clasps that attach to healthy teeth, and full dentures adhere with the help of natural suction. Many patients also purchase denture adhesive for added security.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are made of titanium and act just like the roots of teeth, providing stimulation to the jawbone once in place. As the foundational support for a dental crown, bridge, or denture, the fusing of the implants and bone allows these prosthetics to last 30+ years, making them superior in their longevity and daily stability. Patients who choose dental implants must undergo a thorough consultation with Dr. Estella to determine how best to proceed.
