Dental Bridges
Like the name suggests, dental bridges “bridge” the gap in your smile after losing a tooth. A dental bridge is a dental restoration that contains a false tooth with a crown on both sides to anchor it into place.
To be a candidate for dental bridges, you will need healthy natural teeth or implants on both sides of the gap. Click here to learn more about our dental bridge services.
Root Canal Therapy
When an oral infection is deep enough to penetrate the pulp (living tissue) inside your tooth, you’ll need root canal therapy. A root canal is often a last-resort effort to save a tooth after significant tooth decay or traumatic dental injury.
You may also need root canal therapy for a tooth made fragile from too many dental procedures. If you have a severe toothache, please do not hesitate to call our Grand Rapids root canal dentists. Click here to learn more about our root canal therapy procedure.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown covers the entire visible portion of your tooth above the gum line. Dental crowns are perfect for patients who want to restore teeth with significant decay, cracking, or even discoloration.
Our dental practice is different because we offer same-day dental crowns, which are designed and fabricated in our office. Click here to learn more about our dental crown services.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a titanium rod inserted into your jawbone that acts much like a natural tooth root would to support an abutment and crown.
If you have recently lost a tooth, you may want to ask your dentist if you are a candidate for dental implants. Click here to learn more about our dental implant services.
Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants are smaller than full-sized dental implants, which decreases recovery time and medical expenses.
Mini dental implants are for patients who wish to anchor dentures, bridges, fixed crowns, and other types of replacement teeth. Click here to learn more about our mini dental implant services.
Dentures
Dentures are removable oral appliances that give you the appearance and function of natural teeth. After significant tooth loss, one of our dentists may recommend dentures so you can continue to eat and speak normally.
Many of our patients who have experienced tooth loss report improved self-esteem after getting dentures. Click here to learn more about our full and partial denture services.
Tooth Fillings
If your dentist finds a cavity, they will drill out the decayed tooth matter and fill the resulting hole with silver amalgam or composite resin.
Dental fillings are best for small cavities that don’t compromise the structural integrity of the tooth. Click here to learn more about our tooth filling services.
