Dental Bridges

A bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth definitively to adjacent teeth or dental implants.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. A crown, bridge, or denture is then attached to the implant. The procedure typically requires two visits spaced several months apart to allow for osseointegration.
