Restorative Treatments for Missing Teeth

We offer multiple restorative options to our patients at Wooddell & Passaro. Whether you’re missing one tooth or whole arches of teeth, we have the solution for you.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are made of titanium posts which are surgically inserted into the jawbone. After a healing period of 3 to 6 weeks, the posts are topped with an abutment and dental crown. This method works well for patients with one or multiple missing teeth.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges can be removable or secured with dental implants for a permanent restoration. This solution is great for patients who are missing multiple consecutive teeth. Dental bridges also utilize adjacent teeth as support.

Dentures

Patients who are missing whole arches of teeth can benefit from dentures. This option can also be secured with dental implants. Dentures make it easier for people to bite and chew food again.
