Implants
Show the world a full, natural-looking smile once again. Enjoy all the benefits of dental implants – one of the most permanent forms of restorative dentistry able to restore a single tooth or an entire set of teeth. Dental implants involve the gentle placement of a surgical grade titanium post directly into your jawbone by one of Dr. Franklin’s trusted specialists. As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a sound foundation for the attachment of a custom-made crown or a prosthetic tooth. Implants fit securely, reducing problems typically associated with traditional dentures. Live your life enjoying a beautiful smile and carefree of gum sores, denture adhesives, shifting, difficulty speaking and difficulty chewing!
Implant Supported Dentures
Experience a comfortable alternative to traditional dentures that eliminates common problems like gum sores, shifting, difficulty speaking, dental adhesives and difficulty chewing. Feel confident in the solid fit provided by implant supported dentures. Your biting pressure distributes more like your natural teeth than with traditional dentures, stimulating the supportive structures of your teeth and preventing the bone and soft tissues from shrinking away. Your overall appearance and smile’s function are preserved, if not greatly improved! If needed, you can replace an entire set of teeth with beautiful, flawless implants.
Denture
Your confidence fades and appearance transforms after tooth loss. Get back to your confident, regular self even after the loss of your teeth with dentures. Your smile looks and feels just as it did years ago – maybe even better! Offering the most advanced removable dentures to provide the best fit for you, Dr. Franklin and his team guide you every step of the way. Work with our team to select the shade and shape of your custom created denture.
Partial Denture
Don’t let missing teeth ruin your entire smile. A partial denture provides you with a natural-looking way to enhance the function of your smile. Easily restore the gaps in your smile due to your missing teeth that cannot be corrected by a bridge. Partial dentures are removable and made from a synthetic material supported by lightweight metal that mimics your gum tissue and teeth to give you the fabulous smile you desire. The partial denture preserves your bone structure and the integrity of your existing teeth by preventing them from shifting and tilting in towards the gaps created by your missing teeth. Your smile is beautifully preserved and functions just like natural teeth.
Crown
Your teeth undergo a tremendous amount of stress during your lifetime resulting in discoloration, chipping and cracking. Crowns restore your teeth and your smile to look brilliant once again. Crowns can be made of precious metals or tooth-colored porcelain. Porcelain crowns can be pressed to metal or be porcelain throughout and can be shaded to match your other teeth beautifully. After some tooth preparation, crowns are specially fitted to restore functionality and enhance the appearance of your smile.
Bridge
Gum disease, injury, decay or simply years of wear can all cause tooth loss. When teeth are missing, your smile undergoes significant problematic changes. Missing teeth cause difficulty chewing and mouth pain. As your remaining teeth work to compensate for the loss, gaps and spaces form that only make the situation worse. A bridge, custom designed by Dr. Franklin, keeps your smile aligned and your bite functional. Bridges are anchored to existing teeth or crowns on either side of the missing tooth and are a long-lasting solution. They are semi-permanent, meaning they can only be affixed or removed by a dentist.
Inlays/Onlays
Sometimes effectively removing tooth decay requires also removing a portion of your tooth. The removed portion is replaced with a porcelain inlay or onlay customized by Dr. Franklin. Your inlay or onlay fills the space left behind when the portion of your tooth is removed. Traditionally, inlays and onlays were made out of metal, much like traditional filings. Now, porcelain-milled inlays and onlays are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth and provide relief from chewing pain, cavity pain and tooth degeneration.
TMJ
Did you know that more than 15 percent of adults in the nation suffer from chronic facial pain? TMJ causes severe discomfort and interferes with your day-to-day activities, making it hard to enjoy life. Lucky for you, Dr. Franklin and his team are trained professionals ready to properly diagnose and treat your pain and underlying problem. Using the neuromuscular treatment options that best fit your condition, our team helps alleviate your pain and puts you back in the arena of life – and enjoying every minute of it!
