Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants most realisticially mimic a natural tooth, the artificial tooth roots are made from biocompatible materials, such as titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a stable foundation for attaching crowns, (which can stand alone and don't affect adjacent teeth), bridges or dentures, making them a suitable option for replacing missing teeth. Implants integrate with the jawbone, supporting natural chewing and speaking while preserving bone health in the affected area.
What are dental crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over damaged, decayed or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, strength and appearance. They are made from materials like porcelain, ceramic or metal and are designed to blend with natural teeth. Crowns are commonly used to protect teeth after root canal treatment or to improve the appearance of a cracked, worn or heavily filled tooth.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth anchored to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. Bridges help restore chewing and speaking abilities, prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position and improve the overall look of your smile.
Who might need implants, crowns or bridges?
Implants, crowns and bridges are suitable for people with cracked, damaged, decayed or missing teeth. Implants provide a foundation for replacing missing teeth, crowns restore and protect individual teeth and bridges fill gaps caused by tooth loss. These treatments address functional needs, support oral health and enhance the aesthetics of your smile.
How Our Services Can Help
Dental implants, crowns and bridges are restorative options for addressing missing or damaged teeth. Signs you may need these services include persistent pain or sensitivity in a damaged tooth, difficulty chewing, visible cracks or chips and gaps caused by tooth loss.
Missing teeth can lead to misaligned teeth, jawbone shrinkage or difficulty speaking, which may make implants or bridges a suitable solution. Crowns are often recommended for cracked, severely damaged or decayed teeth that cannot be restored with a simple filling.
How These Services Work
Dental implants involve placing a biocompatible titanium post into the jawbone, where it integrates with the bone to provide a stable base for a crown, bridge or denture. This process usually requires several months for healing before the final restoration is placed.
Crowns are custom-made caps that fit over a damaged tooth. The tooth is prepared by removing decayed or weakened parts before the crown is permanently attached.
Bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth, with artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or implants. The surrounding teeth are prepared, and the bridge is crafted to fit securely in place.
These services help restore oral function, improve aesthetics and support long-term dental health.
