Dental Bridges
When missing one or more consecutive teeth, a dental bridge can fill gaps and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of place. The bridge is created from a series of crowns that are fused together. The crowns on either end are hollowed out and placed on top of nearby teeth to hold them in place, similar to how single dental crowns function. In the center of the bridge are pontics (or crowns that are designed to fill gaps inside the mouth).
Dentures
For more severe cases of tooth loss, dentures and partial dentures offer an affordable yet comprehensive solution. Partial dentures are designed to replace missing teeth on opposite sides of the mouth and fit much like a puzzle piece, making the smile complete. To do this, they contain metal hooks that wrap around neighboring teeth for support. Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth and stay in place by relying on suction from the gums and the natural shape of the mouth.
Dental Implants
When it comes to tooth replacement, dental implants are quickly becoming the new gold standard thanks to their longevity, durability, functionality, and aesthetics. This is in large part due to the titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jaw so they can mimic the structure of the roots. Once fully fused inside the jawbone, they can be covered with a dedicated restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture.

Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction is typically reserved for patients who are faced with a multitude of dental imperfections that do not focus primarily on aesthetic issues. Instead, the treatment options that Dr. Goodman will recommend are likely to require more invasive treatment to address problems that can negatively affect oral health. A cohesive plan is crafted to include multiple solutions that lead to a healthier, stronger set of teeth and gums.
