Why Choose Distinctive Dentistry & Orthodontics for Replacing Missing Teeth?

Dental Bridges

If you have one or more consecutive missing teeth, a dental bridge offers a straightforward solution that has helped patients for decades. The way it works is simple: natural teeth on either side of the space are fitted with crowns, and these are bonded to new, artificial teeth in the middle, literally bridging the gap. For an even more secure fit, they can also be anchored in place with dental implants.

Dentures

Dentures come in all shapes and sizes, meaning we can personalize your prosthetic to make it not only fit securely, but look and feel great as well. A complete denture sits on top of the gums to bring back an entire row in an instant. We can also pair dentures with implants so you can enjoy the convenience and security of a fixed prosthetic.

Partials

Partials close any gaps while fitting snugly between your remaining teeth like the final piece of a puzzle. Typically held in place with metal or acrylic attachments that loop around neighboring teeth, these can also be anchored to the jaw with implants to create a more stable and natural-feeling result.

Dental Implants

What makes dental implants different from other tooth replacement options is that, instead of just sitting on top of the gums, your new teeth are attached directly to the jawbone with small titanium posts. These act as new tooth roots, not only making the teeth extremely stable, but they also provide internal support that prevents bone loss over time and ensures they will last for decades.
