Dentures
The concept of artificial teeth has been around for centuries and date back all the way to around 700 BC. And although technology has changed and enhanced the science behind artificial teeth, dentures are the closest things to the originals. Whether you choose partial or complete dentures, they can help you get back your smile in no time. If you need a full set of teeth, dentures may be one of your best options.
Dental Bridge
If you have a gap between your teeth because of a few missing ones, then a dental bridge may be the perfect solution. By literally bridging the gap between your teeth, a dental bridge will give you back your appearance and your ability to chew at the same time.
