Understanding Fixed Prosthodontics
Fixed prosthodontics refers to permanent dental restorations that remain securely in place within your mouth. These solutions provide stability, functionality, and aesthetic benefits that closely mimic natural teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants serve as artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent foundation for replacement teeth. The titanium posts fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable base for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This revolutionary procedure prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure while offering a natural-looking solution for missing teeth.
Fixed Dental Bridges
Bridges span the gap created by one or more missing teeth. These restorations are anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, providing a stable and permanent solution. We create custom bridges that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, restoring your smile’s appearance and functionality.
Porcelain Crowns
For damaged teeth that need protection and restoration, porcelain crowns offer an ideal solution. These tooth-shaped caps restore shape, size, and strength while improving appearance. Our metal-free prosthodontic options ensure natural aesthetics combined with exceptional durability.
All-on-4 and Full Arch Implants
For patients missing most or all teeth, All-on-4 dental implants offer a transformative option. This innovative approach uses just four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of teeth. The procedure often allows for immediate loading, meaning you can receive your new teeth the same day as your implant placement.
Exploring Removable Prosthodontics
Removable prosthodontics offer practical solutions for patients who prefer or require dental appliances that can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. At Ocean Breeze, we craft custom-fitted dentures that precisely conform to your oral anatomy for optimal comfort and function. Our attention to detail ensures these restorations look natural and fit comfortably.
Partial Dentures
When you have some healthy natural teeth remaining, partial dentures fill the spaces created by missing teeth. These removable appliances attach to existing teeth, preventing them from shifting while restoring your ability to chew and speak normally.
Snap-In Denture Technology
Combining the benefits of both fixed and removable options, snap-in dentures use implants for stabilization but can be removed for cleaning. This innovative technology eliminates the common problems of slipping or shifting associated with conventional dentures while providing additional security and comfort.
Implant-Supported Removable Prosthetics
For enhanced stability and comfort, your removable dentures can be supported by dental implants. This hybrid approach offers improved chewing function and speaking ability compared to traditional dentures, while still allowing for easy removal and cleaning.
