Bridges – The simplest bridge involves the replacement of one tooth and is a three unit restoration. It replaces the tooth by having two crowns, also known as caps, attached to the false tooth (called a pontic). The abutment teeth (the teeth on either side of the false tooth) must be reduced in size in order for the bridge to fit over them. The bridge is usually made with a metal substructure and porcelain fused over it. While it may look like three separate teeth, they are all connected. See Dr. Fascilla's article, “Tooth Replacement: Bridge or Implant?”

Invisalign logoInvisalign – Clear, invisible braces for adults who are interested in discreetly straightening their teeth for cosmetic reasons or as an adjunct for the prevention and treatment of gum disease. The clear braces are worn comfortably throughout the day, For more information, read Dr. Fascilla's article, “Invisalign” or visit www.invisalign.com.

Lumineers logoLumineers – Ultra thin porcelain veneers. These are facings that are bonded to the front of your teeth to create dramatic changes in your smile. Painless application does not require drilling, and in most cases only two visits are needed. For more information, visit www.lumineers.com.

Procera Crowns – Metal-free porcelain crowns with the same strength and durability of conventional crowns. The porcelain is biocompatible, allowing for long-lasting comfort, as well as very natural looking.

Restorative Implant Dentistry – Another option for tooth replacement. An implant is surgically placed in the jawbone and becomes the root for a tooth. This results in a more natural feel. Good candidates must have adequate bone support and healthy gums. See Dr. Fascilla's article, “Tooth Replacement: Bridge or Implant?”
