Partials replace multiple, non-adjacent missing teeth on an upper or lower arch. The replacement teeth are secured to a gum-colored base, and the appliance snaps onto surrounding teeth with hidden clasps. Full dentures replace all teeth on an upper or lower arch. On a denture, replacement teeth are secured to a gum-colored base that stays in place with natural suction or denture adhesive. Alternately, dentures and partials can be secured to dental implant posts for optimal stability.

Dental implants replace teeth roots to provide a solid, stable anchor for replacement teeth. A single implant can replace one tooth, or a few implants can hold a bridge, partial, or denture in place. Dr. Polancich works closely with oral surgeons and periodontists in an interdisciplinary approach to implant dentistry. He will oversee your case and coordinate with specialists for optimal results.

To replace one or more teeth in a row, a bridge (crown and bridge system) attaches to crowned teeth on either side of the missing teeth. A bridge is a fixed/non-removable appliance. For a more independent solution, bridges can be secured to dental implant posts.
