Dental Bridges
If you are missing a single 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.
This procedure typically requires two visits to our dental office, and your bridge will be designed to last for many years while restoring the function, beauty, and health of your smile.
Our dentists may recommend a dental bridge to improve your smile by:
- Restoring your ability to speak, eat, and chew normally
- Alleviating excess stress on the bite
- Improving the shape and volume of your face
- Replacing an unwanted, removable partial denture
- Preventing the remaining natural teeth from moving out of position
- Enhancing the appearance of your smile
Dental Implants
Dental implants in Burbank are a truly cutting-edge method of replacing missing teeth. This is the only restorative dental treatment available that restores the entire structure of lost teeth, including the underlying roots. Plus, with our dentists’ extensive training and expertise, we’re able to provide all parts of the treatment in-house, allowing you to be seen by a team you trust throughout your journey.

Dentures
For our patients missing several or all of their teeth throughout an arch, we may recommend either implant dentures or a series of free-standing crowns and bridges retained by dental implants. Our recommendations will be determined by the number of teeth you’re missing and their location. During your initial consultation, our team will walk you through all of your treatment options and help you determine which is right for you.
