If you’ve had to have a tooth extracted for any reason whatsoever, you’re likely looking into how you can restore your smile to look as it did before the extraction took place. One of the procedures you should consider is getting a bridge installed. Dental bridges are popular, simple, and provide a great way to replace teeth. Let’s look at what’s involved in getting one from Turlock Dental Care.
This is a single piece of dental work that is fused to a pair of crowns on each end. It will eventually be anchored in your mouth by abutments that are formed from the core of the two closest teeth.
Dr. Robert A. McCulla will form the abutments by removing all of the tooth enamel from each tooth. Then, they will cast an impression of the area, including the corresponding teeth in your bite. This will be sent to a special dental lab where your final bridge will be produced. Then, they will cement temporary crowns over each abutment to protect it.
Dr. Robert A. McCulla will call you in for a brief second appointment when your bridge is ready. The temporary crowns will be removed and the bridge will be cemented in place onto the abutments during this appointment.
To schedule an appointment, call us today.

At Turlock Dental Care in Turlock CA, we improve smiles with cosmetic dentistry every day. From the questions that some patients ask, though, it seems there are some myths about what cosmetic dentistry can and cannot do. So we’re using this blog post to clear up a few of them.
Many “cosmetic” dental procedures are not solely cosmetic. Procedures such as tooth replacement prevent potential issues like tooth movement, bone loss, and difficulty chewing and speaking.
Dental bridges have been used for many years with success. However, dental implants are often a better choice for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants have many advantages. They feel like natural teeth, they are stronger, and they are easier to clean than dental bridges. Implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.
Commercially purchased whitening systems cannot compare to professional-strength teeth whitening treatments. They may remove surface stains, but do not provide the best results.
Dental bonding can restore the shape of a tooth, but may not be the best long-term solution. If you have a damaged tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers.
Braces can transform a smile, even in adults. However, if your teeth are only slightly crooked, porcelain veneers can reshape your teeth and help you get a beautiful smile. If the misalignment is thorough, you can also try our clear aligners and realign your smile without the need for metal.

I have finally found a dentist/hygienist that I feel comfortable with. I was there today and felt relaxed the entire time and am actually looking forward to going back for more dental work. Weird, but true.
