Dental bridges
A bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by connecting the replacement tooth to neighboring teeth or implants. It restores the visible space and helps distribute chewing forces across the area.

Missing-tooth and restorative options
The right replacement is the one that fits the mouth, can be maintained, restores useful function, and makes sense within the patient's priorities.
Partial dentures
A partial denture replaces several missing teeth while fitting around the natural teeth that remain. Modern designs can restore chewing and appearance with a removable appliance that can be cleaned outside the mouth.
Full dentures
Full dentures replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch. Care includes planning the fit and appearance, teaching daily cleaning and wear, and making adjustments as the mouth adapts and the supporting tissues change over time.
Dental implant planning
A dental implant replaces a tooth root and supports a crown, bridge, or denture. Planning considers gum health, bone support, spacing, bite forces, and the final restoration, with specialist coordination when surgical placement is part of the case.
Implant crowns and restorations
Once an implant is stable, a custom crown can restore the visible tooth and chewing surface. Implant restorations also need regular professional checks so the crown, bite, gums, and supporting bone stay healthy over time.
Denture adjustments, relines, and repairs
Dentures can loosen or develop pressure spots as the mouth changes. An evaluation determines whether an adjustment, reline, repair, replacement, or implant-supported option will improve comfort, stability, and function.
Full-mouth restorative planning
When several teeth are worn, damaged, or missing, treatment can be organized in phases. A full-mouth plan establishes priorities, addresses active disease first, and coordinates fillings, crowns, extractions, replacement teeth, and bite needs into a manageable sequence.
When to request a visit
Start with the concern, not a self-diagnosis.
The office can help choose the right visit type. Dr. Brown determines the diagnosis and options after reviewing your history and examining the area.
- 01
One tooth is missing
A bridge, removable partial denture, or implant-supported crown may be considered depending on the neighboring teeth, bone, gums, and bite.
- 02
Several or all teeth are missing
Partial or full dentures and implant-supported options can be compared for stability, cleaning, repair, timeline, and specialist involvement.
- 03
An existing denture no longer fits
Pressure spots, looseness, cracks, or difficulty chewing can require adjustment, reline, repair, replacement, or a different design.

Direct answers about this care.
Personal recommendations require an examination, but these answers can help you prepare.
Does Monica Brown DDS place dental implants?
The practice provides implant planning and implant restorations and coordinates specialist care when surgical placement is part of the case. Confirm the exact sequence recommended for your situation after an examination.
Is a bridge removable?
A traditional dental bridge is fixed in place and supported by neighboring teeth or implants. A partial denture is removable and replaces one or more teeth while fitting around the natural teeth that remain.
Can loose dentures be adjusted?
Sometimes. An evaluation determines whether an adjustment, reline, repair, replacement, or implant-supported option is appropriate because the mouth and supporting tissues change over time.
Can treatment be completed in phases?
Often, yes. When several teeth need attention, a plan can address active disease and urgent function first, then organize repair and replacement into manageable stages.
