Dental Bridges
Dental bridges have long been the restorations that dentists turn to when a single tooth or a row of teeth are missing. While other tooth replacement options are now available, dental bridges still have their advantages. Each bridge is made up of two crowns and at least one prosthetic tooth. While the prosthetic fills in the empty space in your mouth, the crowns will keep the entire restoration firmly and comfortably anchored to your natural teeth

Dentures
Have you lost all or most of your teeth? It’s still possible for you to reclaim a complete, flawless smile with the help of dentures. You can get partial dentures that fill in multiple gaps throughout your mouth, or you may replace the entire arch at once with a full denture. In both cases, dentures provide a cost-efficient way to fill in all of the empty space in your mouth with a single appliance. Remember that since dentures are removable, you’ll need to take them out of your mouth when it’s time to clean them.
Dental Implants
If you ask a dentist what the absolute best option for replacing teeth is, chances are that they’ll mention dental implants. Instead of sitting on your gums or relying on natural teeth for support, dental implants integrate with your jawbone, acting as roots for your prosthetic teeth. This prevents the bone tissue in your jaw from being resorbed back into your body and it gives your new smile chewing strength and stability comparable to your original one.
