At Turlock Dental Care our tooth crowns are custom made to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. Crowns look natural and feel comfortable, and can be made the same day in our office.
Improve Quality of Life
Bridges can restore your smile and allow you to feel comfortable speaking and eating around others. This can increase your quality of life, self-esteem, and boost your self-confidence.
Improve Oral Health
Restoring your smile and repairing any missing or damaged teeth can improve your oral and overall health. A smile that looks great and functions normally can prevent future issues, and allow you to live a healthy lifestyle.
Improve Chewing Power
When you lose teeth, this can cause difficulty or pain while chewing food. Bridges can restore your smile and allow you to eat and enjoy food pain-free.
Improve Speech
Dealing with missing multiple teeth can affect your speech and communicating with others, or cause embarrassment. Bridges can help restore your smile and allow you to pronounce words clearly and without a lisp.
Prevent Teeth From Shifting
Missing teeth can cause other teeth in the mouth to begin to deteriorate and shift. Tooth replacement is very important to maintain your facial structure and avoid bone loss in the jaw. Bridges can fill that gap with artificial teeth, and this can help maintain the structure of your mouth and jaw.
If you are interested in improving your smile with a dental bridge, we ask that you expect two visits to Turlock Dental Care. During your first appointment, our dentists will prepare your natural teeth for the crowns, which involves shaving the surfaces to change the size and shape of your tooth. Next, they will make impressions of your teeth and will send them to a dental lab where your dental bridge will be created. While you wait for your new bridge, you will be given a temporary bridge to provide the functionality you need. During your second visit, our dentists will check the bridge and make any needed adjustments to make it fit perfectly in your mouth. When we find the proper fit, the bridge will be permanently cemented into place.
Dental crowns are used to help protect weak or damaged teeth from further deterioration or decay. Porcelain crowns can restore broken or cracked teeth and are typically placed after a root canal procedure. The crown is made out of durable porcelain material and functions as a tooth cap over your natural tooth. At Turlock Dental Care our tooth crowns are custom made to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. Crowns look natural and feel comfortable, and can be made the same day in our office.

A dental bridge in Turlock, California, is made up of two or more crowns and is anchored to the remaining natural teeth on both sides of the gap. The crowns will be placed over the natural teeth, and the empty space will be filled with false teeth. This is a product that can restore your smile, provide you with the ability to properly chew and speak, and prevent your remaining teeth from drifting out of place. This is also a great option that restores the forces you need in your bite to properly chew, speak and smile.

Knowing the differences between your tooth replacement options can help you make your decision.
Dental Bridge
Dental bridges are typically covered by insurance policies and cost less compared to dental implants. Bridges are less invasive, do not require major surgery, and can restore a smile. They can be fixed in place by crowns or dental implants on either side of the bridge. The life span of a bridge is less compared to dental implants and may need replacement every 5 to 7 years.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent solution to tooth replacement and last the longest out of all of the options available. Implants retain their natural appearance longer compared to dental bridges and do not require replacement. Dental implants cost more compared to dental bridges but are a long-lasting investment in your smile.
