Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, offering a stable foundation for artificial teeth that are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone over time, providing unparalleled durability and stability.
Dental implants are crafted to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, enhancing both aesthetics and oral functionality.
Unlike bridges or dentures, implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, which helps preserve natural tooth structure and improves long-term oral health.
Implants are known for their durability and can last many years with proper care. They are a reliable long-term solution for tooth loss.
Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures and restore confidence in your smile.
If you're experiencing discomfort while eating, speaking, or smiling due to decayed or damaged teeth, you might benefit from a dental crown or bridge. The board-certified dentists at Palmer Park Dentistry specialize in repairing teeth to restore your smile. To determine if dental crowns and bridges are right for you, consider calling Palmer Park Dentistry for a free consultation or booking an appointment online.
A dental crown is a cap that covers implants or teeth, restoring decayed or broken teeth's shape and function. It's also used for large cavities or for teeth grinding (bruxism). Palmer Park Dentistry offers crowns in various materials, including porcelain to match your teeth, as well as gold and metal alternatives.
A dental bridge restores appearance and function if you're missing teeth, filling gaps with artificial teeth attached to surrounding teeth or implants.
Often made of porcelain or a mix with other materials, bridges mimic natural teeth. They may require support from crowns or implants to prevent nearby teeth from shifting, which can cause crowding or spacing issues.
Additionally, bridges help stabilize the jawbone, preventing weakness or fractures that could lead to further tooth loss.
Dental bridges, custom-designed by Palmer Park Dentistry's specialists, replace missing teeth with permanent fixtures supported by adjacent teeth.
These bridges are bonded with dental cement for a secure fit and tested for comfort, ensuring they perfectly complement your smile and address tooth loss effectively.
Installing a dental bridge usually takes 2-3 appointments, longer than a crown. The process involves filing down adjacent teeth for crown placement, taking impressions for a perfect fit, and carefully placing the bridge with adjustments for comfort.
They are an excellent cosmetic treatment for our patients whose teeth have structural flaws, such as cracks and chips, or are too discolored and stained for dental whitening to yield satisfactory results. In addition, they can be applied to the outer surface of only one particularly damaged tooth or all of them, giving patients a complete and beautiful makeover that will have them smiling with complete confidence.
Veneers are ultra-thin, durable ceramic shells custom-fitted to conceal stains, discoloration, and damage on the teeth's outer surface.
They are specifically designed to cover and fill damaged areas, offering a restored and improved appearance.
Recommended for various dental issues, veneers effectively address cracked or chipped teeth, deep stains and discoloration, and significant gaps between teeth.
This makes them a sought-after solution for enhancing the aesthetic appeal of one's smile, catering to a broad spectrum of dental imperfections with a single, versatile treatment.
During your initial visit, molds of your teeth will be taken to custom-make your porcelain veneers. Once ready, you'll return for placement by our experts.
This involves removing a thin enamel layer for the veneer to fit. Dental cement secures the veneer, hardened with a special light to ensure permanence. After checking the fit and comfort of your bite, you'll be set to enjoy your new smile.
Porcelain veneers are crafted from durable materials, allowing you to eat normally. Maintain them with regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups and cleanings to keep your smile bright.
