Crowns cover or "cap" a tooth to restore the normal function and appearance of the tooth. Crowns may be made of different materials such as all metal, porcelain fused to metal or all ceramic (porcelain). Crowns are indicated for teeth with very large fillings, teeth that have had a root canal, fractured teeth, and misshapen and/or discolored teeth.
To replace a missing tooth with a bridge, at least one tooth on either side of the space created by the missing tooth must be prepared for a crown. Then a false tooth is joined to the crowns, and the entire structure is cemented to the prepared teeth.
Dental implants are generally made of titanium and are anchored into the jawbone. After osseointegration has occurred, the implant functions as a tooth root. The implant is then restored with an abutment and crown. Implants can be used to replace one, multiple or all of your missing teeth.

Sometimes, due to multiple missing or decayed teeth, most of the teeth and your bite need correction. Full mouth reconstruction utilizes many methods of dentistry to create the correct and healthy relationship between gums, bone, muscles and teeth. Dental bonding, veneers, crowns, implants are all potential procedures used to complete a full mouth reconstruction or rehabilitation. The result is a perfect smile!
Periodontal disease, decay or injury can result in a loss of all of your natural teeth. Complete dentures can be made to restore both your smile and function. Dentures can gain additional stability and won’t slide around when used in conjunction with dental implants.
Partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth and are made from metal and/or acrylic to restore your smile and bite. Implants can also be used to increase partial denture stability and eliminate the need for unsightly clasps on the remaining natural teeth.
