Dental Implants
Dental implants are replacement tooth roots.
Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed
(permanent) or removable replacement teeth that
are made to match your natural teeth. Dental
implants have become the standard of care for
the replacement of teeth because dental implants
allow a missing tooth (or teeth) to be restored
to optimum function and appearance without
invading or damaging any other teeth or tissues.
With good care, many implants last a lifetime. |

Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a
tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth -
covering the tooth to restore its shape and
size, strength, and/or to improve its
appearance. A Crown restoration is needed when
teeth are damaged in such a manner that a
filling material may not be enough to restore
the health and function of a tooth. |

Dental Bridge
A bridge is an artificial replacement to one
or more missing teeth; literally bridging the
gap created. An artificial tooth may be
bonded to the adjacent teeth or crown holding it
permanently in place. Bridges allow the
replacement of lost teeth without the use of a
dental implant or denture. |

Dentures
Dentures are a
set of artificial teeth used when a patient has
lost real teeth. Dentures replace both the teeth
and gums.
Dentures give better chewing abilities and
greater aesthetic appeal by providing the
illusion of natural teeth. Dr. Charles Silk is
an expert at creating a beautiful smile and can
restore a patients youthful look using dentures,
crowns or veneers. |

Whether
you have old, cracked silver amalgam fillings or a tooth
damaged by decay, Dr. Silk can effectively restore it
with a strong and natural porcelain inlay or onlay and

natural tooth color. The end result is nearly seamless
invisible fillings. |
