Replace Missing Teeth and Smile with Confidence in St. Augustine

Choose a replacement that fits your needs
The number of missing teeth is only part of the decision. The health of your remaining teeth, how you want your restoration to feel, daily care and cost all matter.
Fill a gap with a dental bridge
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth, using neighboring teeth or dental implants for support. A fixed bridge stays in place rather than being removed at home. It may be worth considering if you want to close a gap and restore a more complete chewing surface. Your dentist will assess the support available and explain how to care for the restoration.
Replace several or all missing teeth with dentures
A partial denture fills spaces while some natural teeth remain. A full denture replaces all teeth in an upper or lower arch. Conventional dentures are removable for cleaning and can help restore the appearance and function of your smile.
Already wearing dentures that feel loose or uncomfortable? Make that part of your visit. Understanding what isn’t working is an important step toward choosing a better approach.
Explore added support from implants
Implant-supported dentures attach to implants in the jaw and can offer greater stability than conventional dentures. Some are removable for daily cleaning; fixed options remain in place and are removed by a dental professional when needed. The right approach depends on your oral health and priorities, including how you want to manage everyday care.
Preserve a damaged tooth when possible
Tooth replacement isn’t the answer to every restorative concern. A dental crown covers a damaged or weakened tooth to help restore its shape, strength and appearance. If a tooth can be preserved, a crown may help you keep it functioning. A crown can also form the visible replacement tooth on a dental implant.

Restorative interests and technology at our San Marco Avenue office
Our St. Augustine team includes Dr. Christina Nisivoccia, whose clinical interests include dental implants and cosmetic dentistry, and Dr. Kevin Snyder, whose practice focuses include complex smile makeovers and full-arch implant-supported teeth. Function and appearance both deserve attention when you’re choosing a restoration.
The office’s technology includes 3D cone-beam imaging, which provides detailed views of the jaw and surrounding structures to support implant planning. When appropriate, this technology can help your dentist evaluate the jaw and plan implant-related treatment.
Get a clear plan before making a decision
Your first visit starts with the concern that brought you in. The dentist evaluates your teeth and gums, with imaging as needed, then explains suitable treatment options and the steps involved. We’ll review your priorities alongside the clinical findings so you can make an informed choice.
Cost belongs in that conversation. Our office provides local financing and insurance information, and the team can help you review expected costs and payment options for your recommended care.
