Non-surgical solutions for missing teeth

Dental Bridges

Not all missing teeth can be restored easily with a fixed dental implant solution. Sometimes areas of missing teeth have inadequate bone to support a fixed dental implant. Other times, implant surgery is not an option due to medical history or financial constraints. Dr. Leedy will discuss your options and the pros and cons of restoring missing teeth using a permanent dental bridge during your examination. In some cases. Like dental implant placement, engineering and designing a fixed dental bridge also requires an understanding of the patient’s gum and bone biology. And just as important, bridges require the same conscientious care as your natural teeth and care must be taken to maintain your regular schedule of dental cleanings at the office.

Removable Full and Partial Dentures

Full or partial tooth loss, if left untreated, doesn’t just affect a person’s self-image, it can also increase the risk of developing nutritional problems and other systemic health disorders. Fortunately, removable dentures offer a reliable and time-tested method for treating this condition.

Dentures are just one option for replacing missing teeth. The others include dental implants and fixed bridges. Each method has its particular pros and cons, which will be carefully discussed by Dr. Leedy during your examination. There are several varieties of dentures available to address specific issues. The best option will depend on your individual solution.

Whether you need full or partial dentures to replace your missing teeth, the process involves using our 3D scanning technology to obtain accurate digital impression of your mouth. Dr. Leedy can determine the proper position, contour, and shade of replacement teeth to give you the best aesthetics and functionality available.
