Dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth. There are two types: full dentures, which replace all the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, and partial dentures, which replace just a few missing teeth. Dentures are typically made from acrylic, nylon, or metal, and they are custom-fitted to each patient for comfort and a natural appearance.
Bridges are fixed dental restorations that replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between natural teeth. A bridge is anchored by crowns placed on the adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants. Bridges are made of materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or a combination of metal and porcelain, and they restore both the appearance and function of the missing teeth.
Both dentures and bridges help restore the ability to chew, speak, and smile comfortably, improving both appearance and oral health.
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic procedure that brightens the color of teeth by removing stains and discoloration. Over time, teeth can become stained due to factors such as smoking, coffee, tea, or aging. Whitening can be done in-office with professional-grade bleaching agents or at home using take-home kits provided by a dentist. The in-office procedure uses stronger bleaching agents that can provide immediate results, while at-home treatments are less intense but offer gradual improvement over time. Teeth whitening is a safe, effective way to achieve a brighter smile, though results can vary depending on the type of discoloration.
