Tooth Replacement in St. Petersburg

Tooth Supported

Fixed Bridgework

A dental bridge that is fixed (non-removable) is an excellent way to replace missing teeth.

With a fixed bridge, the teeth on both sides of the gap also known as abutment teeth, are crowned and will serve as an anchor for the missing tooth replacement in the middle. A fixed bridge is cemented into place, and can only be removed by a dentist.

A Fixed Bridge Will:

• Fill space of missing teeth.

• Maintain facial shape.

• Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.

• Restore chewing and speaking ability.

• Restore your smile.

Dentures

If you have teeth that are loose or painful, caused by bone loss from periodontal disease, they may not be able to be saved. Removing and replacing them with a denture may be the only solution in eliminating the infection and restoring your smile and chewing ability.

Partial Dentures

A partial denture is used for replacing some of your missing teeth. By filling in the spaces, a partial denture stops the teeth on either side of the space from shifting.  A partial denture also helps to balance your bite which results in better chewing and a healthier jaw joint. Partials also add support to the cheeks and lips which is necessary for clear speaking and good facial structure.

Implant Retained Dentures

Dentures that are placed over dental implants look, feel, and function more like your natural teeth. The denture is securely anchored to the implant which allows you to smile and chew normally.
