A missing tooth can lead to shifting teeth, stress on the jaw (TMJ), and difficulty cleaning, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. A bridge fills the gap by using adjacent teeth for support
You may need a crown if your tooth is fractured, an old crown or filling root canal, or cavity has failed, or to improve a tooth’s appearance. A crown fully covers the tooth, restoring and protecting it
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front and tops of teeth. They can whiten teeth and correct issues like chips, misshapen, crooked, or worn teeth.
Dental implants are titanium cylinders surgically placed in the jawbone to support a restoration, preserving bone levels and leaving surrounding teeth unaffected.
