Dental Bridges
If you are missing a tooth or several teeth in a row, a dental bridge may be the solution for you. We offer bridges to close the gaps in your smile. This will give you back a proper bite and a beautiful smile so that you can once again feel confident in chewing, and speaking; and in sharing your smile with others.
If you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth in a row, we may recommend a dental bridge to restore your smile. A bridge is a fixed dental restoration, meaning it is non-removable. The dental bridge is anchored in place through the use of two dental crowns, which are custom made to fit your smile and are placed on the teeth or dental implants next to the space left by the missing tooth. These crowns hold the artificial tooth in place to restore your smile, ensuring that your restoration will not easily shift or come loose. It typically requires only two visits to our practice to complete the dental bridge. Dental bridges are designed to last for many years and to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile.
Myobrace uses specialized appliances to move the teeth into their proper positions. These appliances are worn overnight while the patient is asleep, as well as for a few hours each day as directed. Dr. Janette Carroll will also provide exercises to encourage proper tooth movement and to improve breathing, muscle function, and Our dentist may recommend a dental bridge to improve your smile by:

Learn MoreA root canal is a procedure done to remove infection and bacteria that has moved into the internal part of the tooth, along with infected tissue where the nerve and blood vessels reside. If left untreated, this infection can cause an abscess in the surrounding bone of the tooth. Infection is loaded with bacteria.

Learn MoreDentures are removable oral appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. If you are missing several teeth or all of your teeth, dentures might be just what you need to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile. There are two kinds of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures.
Learn MoreIf your teeth are damaged beyond what a filling can repair but do not require a full crown, our dentist can provide you with dental inlays or onlays. Our inlays and onlays are made of porcelain to match your natural tooth color. Inlays and onlays restore your damaged teeth and support your tooth structure so that you can once again enjoy a beautiful, healthy smile.
Learn MoreA crown does a better job at protecting a tooth from fracturing than a filling does. So, if there’s a lot of tooth structure missing or a large filling is being removed or there are inherent fracture lines or cracks in a tooth, a crown or an “onlay” is a much better option.
