Restorative Dentistry
Replacement Teeth
Missing teeth make chewing, speaking, and smiling uncomfortable, and they can lead to many problems. For instance, restricted ability to eat jeopardizes a healthy diet, and in some cases, people with missing teeth won't eat in front of others. A lack of confidence in one's appearance compromises career, romantic, and social success, as well. Fortunately, with modern advances in dental prosthetics, anyone can reclaim a full, strong smile!
Dental Bridges
If you’ve lost one or more teeth in a row, a permanent bridge will restore your solid smile. A bridge fills the space left by missing teeth and also prevents remaining teeth from shifting out of place. Bridges improve chewing function and speech articulation, and they provide internal structure for the face, which promotes a youthful appearance.
Dentures
At Riverwood Dental Centre, we can fit you for dentures or partial dentures, also referred to as partials. Dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth, and partial dentures replace a few missing teeth by fitting in the spaces like a puzzle piece. As cosmetic and restorative dentists, Dr. Erlick and Dr. Bellamy will consider function, longevity, and appearance when creating your custom denture or partial. We'll also work with you to find a good fit so that your replacement teeth can serve you well for years to come.
Dental Implants
As the closest replacement option to nature's own work, dental implants mimic natural tooth structure. They feature a root (post) and crown (replacement tooth) to provide a strong, long-lasting prosthetic tooth. If you have sufficient bone density and oral health, you may be a candidate for dental implants. The first step is securing a tiny titanium post into the socket left by your missing tooth. We can then secure a single or multiple-tooth replacement, like a denture or partial.
