Fixed Bridges

By essentially “bridging” the gap created by missing teeth, dental bridges can fill the gap. By improving the function of a patient’s bite, they can also prevent other teeth from shifting and maintain the shape of the face while allowing them to eat and speak comfortably. There are two types of dental bridges: natural teeth and dental implants.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Implants can be used to restore lost teeth in many ways. During osseointegration, titanium posts are surgically implanted into the gums and fuse with the jawbone, giving the artificial teeth a very solid base. Dental implants are also very durable and natural-looking due to the restoration that is placed on top.

Providing Full & Partial Dentures

We can restore the look and function of your smile with our custom, natural-looking dentures if you need to replace many or all of your teeth. A partial denture replaces a row of missing teeth and is held in place with metal clasps that attach to the surrounding teeth. Stabilizing full dentures can be done through dental implants, which provide a sturdy base for the dentures to attach to, or by applying denture adhesive to the dentures.

Removal of Wisdom Teeth

Most wisdom teeth grow in properly, so only a few people have to remove them. For the rest of us, wisdom teeth removal is necessary to prevent wisdom teeth from crowding our other teeth. LP Dentistry can remove your wisdom teeth in-house, unlike many practices that refer patients to oral surgeons.

The Root Canal Procedure

From the patient’s perspective, root canals are not that different from filling a cavity, despite their reputation for being scary procedures. A root canal is required when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected and must be removed. After that, the tooth is cleaned, sealed, and restored, making it look as good as ever.
