Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created

A bridge is made up of two crowns for the teeth
on either side of the gap these two anchoring
teeth are called abutment teeth and a false
tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are
called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys,
porcelain, or a combination of these materials.
Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or
implants.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is generally used to refer to
any dental work that improves the appearance of a
persons teeth, gums and/or bite. Dr. Nelson is
skilled in restoring and creating beautiful
smiles of all types.
Dentures
A denture is a removable replacement for missing
teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types
of dentures are available complete and partial
dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the
teeth are missing, while partial dentures are
used when some natural teeth remain.

Fillings
Fillings are the most common restoration for
teeth damaged by decay or injury, and advances in
technology have revolutionized the materials
available to restore your smile. We do not use
the silver fillings or amalgam mercury fillings
that were used in the past that created dark and
discolored areas that stood out from the rest of
your smile. Metal fillings expanded and
contracted with temperature changes, allowing
bacteria to enter and cause decay, and
additionally caused weakening of the tooth and
possible fractures. We at Progressive Dental
Group use only the latest technology to create a
metal-free filling that is both healthy and
aesthetically pleasing. Composite fillings are a
safer, stronger and more enduring restoration
that bonds directly to your tooth and allows more
of the healthy natural tooth structure to remain.
We do a variety of different extractions for
different reasons from extractions requested by
orthodontists, when decay has rendered the tooth
structure unrestorable and wisdom teeth on a case
by case basis.

Dental Implants
Dental implant restorations have become the
premier choice for replacing missing teeth or
teeth that are beyond other restoration options.
The implant can simulate a single tooth or
multiple teeth, and is integrated naturally to
the bone replicating a natural tooth root. This
allows the dental implant to preserve facial
structure by preventing the deterioration of the
surrounding bone and tissue that would inevitably
occur without a replacement. Replacing a missing
tooth with a dental implant allows the
functionality to brush, floss, laugh, and eat
comfortably while maintaining a healthy,
natural-looking smile. If you would like to find
out more about the dental implants that
Progressive Dental Group uses please see the
