Crowns

Crowns fit comfortably over a natural tooth, restoring its strength, function, and overall appearance. Crowns are custom-made to fit comfortably and match your desired outcome.

Bridges

Dental bridges contain multiple artificial teeth that fill in gaps left by missing or extracted permanent teeth. They fit over the top of adjacent natural teeth or are anchored in place by dental implants.

Veneers

Dental veneers are natural-looking, tooth-like shells your dentist bonds to a tooth’s front and side surfaces to enhance its appearance and function.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots your prosthodontist inserts into your jawbone. They anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures to replace natural teeth and dramatically transform your smile. 

Full and partial dentures
