RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

CROWNS & BRIDGES

Over time our teeth begin to weaken and become more susceptible to problems such as decay, cracks, discoloration and others. If you feel your smile isn’t what it once was, crowns can help you recover your smile. Dr. Roberts can also replace your missing teeth with durable, high-quality dental bridges that restore your smile and the functionality of your mouth with natural-looking replacements. 

​

IMPLANTS

Dental implants are a permanent and appealing solution to replace missing or extracted teeth. They are better than other alternatives like bridges because no additional teeth need to be altered to place the new tooth, and can even be used to secure dentures for a solid fit. 

​

The entire implant process is performed over the course of a few months. The first part of the process is to install the implant itself, where a screw is placed into the jaw bone. During the healing time, approximately 3-6 months, you can have temporary crowns installed so that you can eat and speak normally and maintain a proper aesthetic appearance for your smile.  When the bone has fully healed, we’ll place the permanent crown and make sure everything is fitting properly and looking great. When everything has completely healed, your implant will feel and work just like your normal teeth, which means you can eat what you like and clean them just like you always did.

REMOVABLE DENTAL PROSTHETICS

Removable dental prostheses are dental restorations that can be removed by the patient when using it is not necessary. Dentures are the most common removable dental prosthesis in the market and are, by far, the most common way that most patients choose to replace their missing teeth. The reason behind this is that, despite all the other advancements in dental technology, removable dental prosthesis are noninvasive and will not require any surgical incisions or painful recovery. Removable dental prosthesis are supported by surrounding tissues in the oral cavity and may be conveniently removed by the patient when not in use and replaced whenever necessary.
