- Dental Bridges: Do you cover-up your smile because of a missing tooth or gap in your teeth? Fixed Partial Dentures, sometimes called a fixed dental bridge, is a fixed replacement for the missing tooth that is anchored to the patient’s teeth.

- Dental Implants: Dental implants are the best solution to replace a missing tooth or teeth. Implants get their name from the titanium “implant,” a screw-shaped prosthetic that is placed into the hole formerly occupied by the natural tooth root.
