An implant-supported bridge is similar to a regular dental bridge. However, while regular dental bridges are anchored with crowns placed on the teeth on either side of the bridge, an implant-supported bridge is anchored in the mouth using dental implants. In most cases, an implant is placed for each missing tooth, after which the implant crowns are connected to form one piece atop the implant posts. If our dentist cannot place one implant for each missing tooth, the bridge may consist of the prosthetic teeth suspended between two implant-supported crowns.
Our dentist may recommend an implant-supported bridge when you have lost multiple teeth or when there is concern that you may put too much pressure on individual, unconnected implants, increasing the likelihood that the implant will loosen from the bone and fail. An implant-supported bridge reduces this pressure, spreading it across the entire bridge to keep the individual implants firmly anchored in your jawbone, where they can work to improve your oral health and function. Benefits of implant-supported bridges include:
Receiving an implant-supported bridge typically requires two surgeries: one to place your dental implant posts and one to place the bridge and anchor it atop the implants. There will be a period of healing between the implant placement procedure and anchoring the bridge.
We offer a wide range of services at our office to meet all of your dental needs. Depending on the condition and appearance of your smile, our dentist may suggest a combination of treatments called a smile makeover. A makeover can not only restore the appearance of your smile but also improve your oral health and function.

A dental crown, or cap, is a restoration that can be used for a number of purposes. One of the most common uses of a dental crown is to restore a tooth that is significantly damaged or decayed. The crown is custom made to fit over the entire tooth, starting at the gumline, in order to restore the tooth to its original shape and size. Dental crowns can be made of gold, porcelain or porcelain fused to metal; porcelain crowns are popular because they match the natural color and appearance of your teeth. Our dentist will help you determine which type of dental crown is right for your smile.
Your smile may benefit from a crown if a tooth is damaged or decayed to the point that a dental filling will not provide a successful restoration. Crowns can also be used for a number of other restorative and aesthetic purposes, including to:

Recently I have had to research deciding on which dentist I wanted to choose because my original dentist of 9 years had to retire. I had two episodes of dentists that just didn't measure up to my expectations or that just were not available enough. After my initial experience with Dr Andrew J Sampalis, DDS., His colleagues and staff, I have nothing but positive feedback regarding my initial impression, the level of professionalism to my dental procedure that emanated quality and exactness plus the overall kindness with detail.... They did not miss a thing so perfectly orchestrated... I had no loss of time in my schedule.. and I have a super busy schedule. Really nothing could have been better.

He is an excellent dentist and oral surgeon. His services for me include a root canal and an implant. I also see him for my yearly teeth-cleaning. I moved to another suburb and opted for a closer dentist--big mistake. I Went back to Sampalis.

I love the fact that she explained (Susan) everything she was doing and why. I had to have kind of deep cleaning and she was great. No pain and always asked how I was doing.

Came in today to start my braces process and everyone I met there was so nice and helpful. I haven't been to the dentist is years due to bad experiences in the past but I was put to ease the minute I walked through the door. Dr. Sampalis and staff were amazing through everything.

I had my first visit on April 11, 2022 which 3 days prior I got my braces removed which were place on by another orthodontist who never mentioned to me my bite/jaw line was off. Something, I knew because I can see it & feel it. I have been going to this previous office for over 4 years not once did anyone think to correct my bite. Now, I have to start ALL over which I don't mind because I want to smile which is something else that bothered me. Although, my teeth are closed & straight they don't feel right now! My mouth feels twisted but thanks to Dr Sampalis and his staff I'll have an excellent smile in no time. Also, I found him on GOOGLE with a 4.7 star rate. Now, just in one month he has a 5 stars. I'm in great hands. I understand why Dr Andrew Sampalis and his staff had such a high customer service rating because their service is excellent. The receptionist Sandy greeted me with open arms over the phone and as well as when I came through their doors... his assistant (who name I forgot) and hygienist Kim was very attentive which made me feel very at ease... I will be starting my new journey with my new dental family Dr Sampalis & Associates and I so glad & happy, I will get new smile soon!

Dr.Sampalis is an extremely patient doctor, Listen's to concerns without judgement. In the 7 years I've been a patient he has never tried to convince me to have work done that isn't necessary. He's honest and upfront about potential outcomes. He's also very gentle and understands some of us are neurotic and terrified of the dentist. His staff are the friendliest people and I always feel at home there. I highly highly recommend.
