Options for damaged or missing teeth

You do not need to choose a restoration before your visit. An examination helps determine which options are appropriate for your teeth and goals.

  1. 01

    Crowns

    A crown covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape and function. It may be an option when a filling would not provide enough support.

  2. 02

    Bridges

    A bridge fills a gap left by missing teeth. St. Pete offers conventional and implant-supported bridges, with the choice depending on the support available and your treatment needs.

  3. 03

    Dentures

    Dentures replace multiple missing teeth. Our options include partial dentures and implant-supported dentures, giving you different ways to address missing teeth and stability.

01

Dr. Jose F. Matos

Dr. Matos is known for listening closely, explaining treatment clearly, and building plans around each patient's goals. He earned his dental degree at VCU/MCV and speaks English and Spanish, so you can discuss the changes you want in either language.

02

Dr. R. Andrew Powless

If your needs include surgery or sedation, our practice also includes Dr. Powless. His background includes hospital-based oral and maxillofacial surgery training at Jackson Memorial Hospital and Louisiana State University, with more than 20 years of experience caring for patients with mental, physical, and developmental challenges.

Digital planning for your restoration

  1. Our 3Shape digital scanners support accurate treatment planning and a more comfortable digital workflow. With restorative care and implant options available through the practice, the conversation can include both repairing existing teeth and replacing missing ones.

    You can also review estimated fees, insurance reimbursement, and payment options before treatment starts.
