Treatment Options For A Missing Tooth
Dental Bridges
Dental labs design dental bridges to “bridge” the gap left by consecutive missing teeth. This sturdy prosthetic is anchored in place with dental crowns, which attach to your natural teeth on both sides of the opening. Dr. Spellman will take his time to ensure a proper, functional fit that looks and feels natural.
Full & Partial Denture
For individuals who have experienced extensive tooth loss, a full or partial denture can bring back their smile quickly and affordably. Complete dentures (as the name implies) are designed to simultaneously replace an entire row of teeth. At the same time, partials can fill openings between your natural teeth. Both are custom-designed to perfectly fit your mouth so your teeth can function naturally in everyday life.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the clear solution if you’re looking for a highly secure and durable tooth replacement option. Unlike traditional options, implants replace the tooth’s root and the visible dental crown. Implants help preserve jawbone health and establish a sturdy foundation for all-ceramic replacements. Patients undergoing dental implant treatment will visit a trusted oral surgeon for the surgical elements of their oral care before returning to Eric Spellman, DMD, for the finishing touches.
