• Crowns
  Placement of the replacement tooth or teeth - For a single tooth implant, your Ladd provider makes a new tooth that is customized for you, called a dental crown. It is designed to look just like your other teeth. For multiple missing teeth, implant-supported bridges and dentures are also custom-made to look like your natural teeth and to ft your mouth. The replacement teeth are attached to the implant posts that were surgically placed into your jawbone.
• Bridges
• Restorative Dentistry
  Restorative dentistry centers around bringing the mouth back to full functionality. Even if the proper preventative measures have been taken it is possible that restoration still may need to take place. Unavoidable causes, like accidents and genetics, may put a patient at a higher risk of needing restorative procedures at some time in his or her life. For our team at Ladd Dental Group to best treat our patients it is important to know what may be causing the issue at hand. We use an all-encompassing approach to determine what may be going on. When a patient comes to Ladd Dental Group we never see just their teeth. We see the whole person. Their upbringing, experiences, and life choices have lead them to where their teeth are today. This is all taken into consideration when treating our patients. Once we have an understanding of the situation we aim to educate our patients on the potential risk factors and benefits of the disease process and treatments. This in turn will help them make the most educated decisions possible. If you have a cracked, loose or missing tooth, we have specialists ready to repair and restore the damaged area.
