Dental Bridges
Dental bridges replace missing teeth with artificial teeth (poetics) that are anchored by crowns on adjacent teeth or dental implants. Explore our dental restoration services below.
Who Needs Dental Bridges
Ideal for individuals missing teeth who prefer a non-surgical option, bridges prevent teeth from shifting, restore normal functions, and support facial structure.
The Procedure for Dental Bridges
The process usually involves two visits: the first to prepare teeth and take impressions, and the second to fit and adjust the custom-made permanent bridge.
Dental Crown Overview
Dr. Robert Baker may suggest a dental crown to restore a damaged tooth's strength, appearance, and function. Custom-made for a perfect fit, crowns protect treated teeth from future damage.
Ideal Situations for Crowns
Dental crowns are recommended to:
Treatment Process
Dental crown treatment typically requires two visits. In the first visit, the tooth is prepared and impressions are taken for a custom crown, with a temporary crown placed. The second visit involves fitting and placing the permanent crown, usually within 30 minutes to an hour.
Dental Implants Overview
Dr. Robert Baker recommends dental implants to replace missing teeth and restore your oral health and smile.
Implant Procedure
A dental implant is a titanium fixture acting as an artificial tooth root, surgically placed into the jawbone. This minimally invasive procedure allows the implant to integrate with the bone, creating a stable foundation for a dental prosthesis like a crown, bridge, or denture.
Benefits and Suitability
Dental implants offer improved aesthetics, enhanced oral function, bone preservation, durability, convenience, and boosted self-confidence. Suitable candidates generally have sufficient jawbone density, healthy gums, and good overall health. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
Dentures and Partials

Types of Dentures
Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth. Complete dentures are for those missing all teeth, while partial dentures replace some teeth using a metal or acrylic base. Implant-supported dentures, anchored to dental implants, provide enhanced stability and comfort.
Care for Dentures
Proper care extends the life of your dentures. Rinse after meals, brush daily with a soft brush and denture cleanser, soak overnight, avoid hot water, and handle carefully. Regular dental check-ups ensure they fit well and address any issues.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Dr. Robert Baker offers implant-supported dentures, including overdentures, to effectively replace multiple missing teeth. These dentures are anchored by dental implants, providing a stable and lasting solution for your smile and oral health.
Significant Benefits
Implant-supported dentures offer significant advantages over traditional dentures. They provide enhanced stability, preventing shifting while eating or speaking, which improves chewing efficiency and boosts confidence in social settings. Additionally, the implants stimulate jawbone growth, helping to prevent bone loss associated with missing teeth.
Candidate Suitability
Most individuals with missing teeth can consider implant-supported dentures. Ideal for replacing multiple teeth or an entire arch, this treatment requires sufficient bone density and good oral health for successful implantation. A consultation with our dentist will help determine if this option is right for you, offering a reliable and long-lasting tooth replacement solution.
Overdentures
For those who have lost multiple teeth, Dr. Robert Baker may recommend overdentures. Also known as “snap-on” dentures, this implant-supported solution helps restore a healthy, attractive, and confident smile.
Secure and Safe
Overdentures are dentures supported by dental implants. These dentures "snap on" to implants placed in the jaw, providing a secure fit that enhances oral function and health. Typically, only two implants are needed, though more may be recommended based on individual needs. This design allows for easy removal and cleaning, making maintenance simple.
Benefits of Overdentures
Overdentures offer several advantages:
Root Canal Treatment
Dr. Robert Baker provides root canal therapy to remove infected or damaged tooth tissue. This treatment helps you avoid tooth extractions and keeps your natural teeth healthy. Call (480) 461-9944 to learn more about root canals in Mesa, Arizona.
Advantages
Root canal therapy preserves your natural teeth and prevents alignment issues from shifting. It’s a cost-effective alternative to extractions and implants. With modern techniques, the procedure is usually painless and offers quick recovery times.
The Root Canal Procedure
The root canal process typically involves several steps over one or more visits. It starts with an examination and X-rays, followed by local anesthesia for comfort. The dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans the canal, seals it, and usually places a dental crown for restoration.
