Crown and Bridge
If you’re seeking a permanent alternative to removable dentures, full arch dental implants might be the ideal solution.
Why Choose Us
A Fixed Solution to Dentures: Full Arch Dental Implants
If you’re seeking a permanent alternative to removable dentures, full arch dental implants might be the ideal solution. These implants are securely anchored with just four titanium posts per jaw, replacing your entire upper and lower set of teeth. Unlike dentures, which can be removed, full arch implants are fixed in place, providing the peace of mind that comes with a stable, long-lasting solution. They are easy to clean, comfortable to wear, and can be maintained with regular oral hygiene practices. With full arch dental implants, you can enjoy a natural, confident smile without the hassle of removable prosthetics.
Bridges: A Durable, Permanent Solution
Unlike dentures, which are removable, dental bridges provide a permanent solution for missing teeth. A bridge consists of crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap, with a custom-made porcelain or ceramic tooth fused between them to fill the space. This restoration is securely fixed in place, making it a reliable and aesthetic choice for restoring both the appearance and function of your smile. The process is minimally invasive, with no surgery required, and can often be completed in just two appointments.
At Linden Park Tusmore Dental & Implants, our experienced team will carefully assess your individual needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment to restore your smile. Whether you opt for a bridge, implants, or another solution, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve the best outcome for your oral health and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need regular check-up
Regular dental check-ups are the key to avoiding unexpected problems and costly surprises. Catching an issue early gives you the freedom to explore the best treatment options, while emergencies often prioritise pain relief over long term solutions. By addressing concerns early, treatments are more effective, less time-consuming, and easier on your wallet - keeping your smile healthy and stress-free.
I clean my teeth at home, why do I need a professional clean?
Even if you brush and floss daily, it’s vital for your overall health to have a professional clean every six months. Some people may need more frequent visits, especially if they are managing periodontal disease. When plaque remains on your teeth, it combines with saliva to harden into tartar or calculus. If left untreated, this can lead to bleeding gums, bad breath, a receding gum line, and eventually tooth mobility. Regular cleans and polishes not only give you a bright smile but also help prevent decay, gum disease, and bad breath.
Is fluoride effective?
Yes, fluoride is essential for strengthening teeth and has been clinically proven to dramatically reduce decay rates. It works by remineralising weakened enamel, reversing early signs of decay, and reducing tooth sensitivity. While fluoride toothpaste is effective for daily use, professionally applied fluoride treatments are far more concentrated and provide superior protection. Our therapists and hygienists tailor fluoride treatments to your specific needs, ensuring your teeth stay healthier, stronger, and more resistant to future decay.
Why do I need x-rays?
Dental x-rays are essential for detecting issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye, helping to protect your oral health.
What are bitewing x-rays?
Taken on the sides of your mouth every two years, bitewing x-rays detect early decay between teeth, allowing for early treatment and often preventing the need for fillings.
How are OPG x-rays different?
An OPG x-ray provides a panoramic view of your teeth, jawbone, joints, and sinuses, ideal for monitoring wisdom teeth and other areas not visible with smaller x-rays. These are recommended every three years.
Regular x-rays ensure early detection and effective prevention for a healthier smile.
Are dental x-rays safe?
Our dental x-rays use an exceptionally low radiation dose while delivering high-resolution images for accurate diagnosis. To put it into perpective, the radiation from one of our x-rays is equivalent to the natural dose you'd receive from eating about 20 bananas.
Despite the minimal exposure, your safety is our top priority. We utilise aiming devices to ensure precision and provide lead aprons when necessary for added protection, reflecting our commitment to delivering safe and effective care.
