At Taylor and Associates Family & Implant Dentistry, we provide comprehensive restorative dentistry in a single location, eliminating the need for referrals or additional offices. From start to finish, your treatment stays with our trusted team, making the process simple, seamless, and focused on your comfort and care. Our top restorative services in Bay City include:
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made, tooth-shaped caps that cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth, restoring both strength and a natural appearance. At our Mid-Michigan dental office, we offer a variety of crown options to meet your unique needs and help you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
All-porcelain and all-ceramic crowns provide a beautiful, natural look that blends seamlessly with your smile, making them ideal for front teeth. With a selection of dental crown materials available, Dr. Taylor can help you choose the crown that best fits your smile, lifestyle, and comfort.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are a reliable way to replace missing teeth and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. Traditional bridges use crowns on the neighboring teeth to support one or more replacement teeth, making them a common and dependable option. Cantilever bridges are used when there is only one natural tooth next to the gap, and Maryland bridges use a metal or ceramic framework bonded to the back of the nearby teeth for a more conservative approach. For maximum stability, implant-supported bridges anchor directly to dental implants, providing strength that feels closest to natural teeth. With several options available, we can help you choose the bridge that best fits your needs and lifestyle.
Removable Dentures
Removable dentures offer flexible solutions for replacing missing teeth, whether you need a temporary or long-term solution. Immediate dentures are placed the same day teeth are removed, so you never go without a smile. Partial dentures fill in gaps when only some teeth are missing, while complete dentures restore an entire arch for full function and appearance. For short-term or transitional needs, a flipper provides a lightweight, affordable option that helps maintain your smile while you wait for a more permanent solution. No matter your situation, we’re here to help you find a denture solution that feels comfortable and allows you to smile with confidence.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a strong, permanent foundation for replacing missing teeth and restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. They work by supporting custom restorations that look and feel natural, giving you long-lasting stability and comfort.
For patients replacing several or all teeth, we offer a wide range of implant-supported denture options, including All-on-4® implant-retained dentures. Each option is designed to stay firmly in place, offering greater security than traditional dentures. For an exceptionally durable and natural-looking upgrade, zirconia implant dentures provide impressive strength and a smooth, polished appearance. We’re here to help you choose the implant option that fits your needs and supports a strong, lasting smile.
Bicon Dental Implants
At Taylor and Associates Family and Implant Dentistry, we use the Bicon Implant System to provide stable, natural-feeling replacements that function like real teeth. Bicon implants are uniquely designed with a secure locking connection instead of small screws, creating a stable, bacteria-resistant seal and eliminating the dark metal lines sometimes seen with other systems. They also allow for shorter implant placement in many cases, which can reduce or even eliminate the need for a bone graft procedure.
For certain teeth with poor prognosis, a Bicon dental implant may even be a healthier alternative to complex procedures like root canals and crowns – providing a strong, decay-resistant restoration built to last.
Full-Mouth Reconstruction
When multiple teeth are damaged, worn, missing, or failing, a full-mouth reconstruction can restore your oral health, daily comfort, and confidence all at once. Rather than treating one tooth at a time, we carefully design a comprehensive plan that rebuilds your bite, improves function, and creates a balanced, natural-looking smile.
Your full-mouth reconstruction treatment at Taylor and Associates Family & Implant Dentistry may combine several restorative solutions, including dental crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants, to strengthen your bite and protect your long-term oral health. Dr. Taylor frequently uses Bicon dental implants as the foundation for full-mouth reconstruction because they offer exceptional stability while helping to preserve bone and providing a natural, comfortable feel.
Our goal is not only to improve appearance, but to make everyday activities comfortable again, from speaking clearly to enjoying your favorite foods. Every full-mouth reconstruction treatment plan is carefully designed and customized for lasting results.
