Dental Crowns
Sometimes a tooth has suffered a large amount of damage to the enamel or has cracked. But, if the tooth is not dead (yes, teeth can die), the patient may want to keep their natural tooth. We want patients to be able to keep their natural teeth as well, so we are able to offer crowns to these patients.
A crown is a custom made piece that fits over the (remaining) natural tooth and prevents further damage to an injured or decayed tooth. A crown is a significant restoration, but it allows a natural tooth to remain and can often be made in
Our office will work to make your crown comfortable for long term health and beauty, and try to make the process of getting the crown as low stress as we can manage. If you have a badly damaged or decayed tooth, don’t wait too long. Call for a check as soon as possible so you have the best restoration options available to you.
Dental Bridges
Dental Bridges fill a gap in the mouth caused by the loss of a tooth or teeth. The teeth on either side of the opening are covered with crowns, and the open space is filled by a

If you are a candidate for dental implants, we can refer you to a trusted dental implant specialist in Edmonds for surgical placement. If you already have implants and are in need of new replacement teeth to finish the job, we are happy to fit your implant post with a new restoration. Dental implants leave your mouth beautiful while preventing damage to your other teeth caused by shifting into the opening left by a tooth that has been extracted by a dentist or a tooth that has been knocked out.
Implant restoration options include crowns, bridges, and implant supported dentures that are permanently secured to look, feel and function just like natural teeth.
Full Mouth Restoration
If your natural teeth are not healthy enough to save, but you are not interested in fighting with dentures, consider a full mouth restoration. A full mouth implant restoration can replace your teeth with natural looking implant restorations attached to posts permanently embedded in the jaw.
Just as every smile is unique, each full mouth reconstruction is different, depending on your individual case. We will start the process with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Kitts to create a customized treatment plan for you. If necessary, we will treat any underlying issues like tooth decay or gum disease to create a healthier environment in the
When the teeth are not healthy but the jaw bone is, full mouth restorations may be the answer to your smile dilemma. Call our office for an appointment to find out if we can help you gain the smile you would like through a full mouth restoration.
