| Prosthetic Dentistry
Prosthetic Dentistry deals with the replacement of missing teeth. These replacement teeth can be either fixed (permanently cemented) in the mouth or removable. Fixed replacement teeth feel more natural in the mouth.
Our most common Prosthetic Procedures are:
Fixed Partial Dentures(Bridges) - can replace one or many missing teeth, this type of appliance requires a minimum of one solid anchor tooth on each side of the space. How many anchor teeth are included depends on the length of the span with the missing teeth.

Removable Partial Dentures - can replace one or many missing teeth, this type of appliance can be made entirely of acrylic or it can have a metal framework under the plastic. (more info)
Complete Denture - replaces all teeth in the upper or lower arch; this appliance is usually made entirely of acrylic. (more Info)
Implant Supported Partial or Complete Denture - can replace several or all of the missing teeth; by using implants for support, these appliances are much more stable. (more info)
