The loss of one or more of your existing natural teeth can be overwhelming if you are not prepared. For this reason, it is important to know your options for an elegant prosthodontic solution. This specialization of dentistry focuses on the replacement of your existing teeth with a prosthetic that you can use in your daily life. A dental bridge can provide a new chewing surface at the location of tooth loss.
Another form of replacement is through a dental implant placement process. This technique uses a technologically advanced procedure in which a titanium post permanently rests in your jaw. There is versatility in implants, as the prosthetic tooth atop can be replaced. For a single tooth or a full set of implant-supported dentures, there is a future after your extraction.
