One of the most effective methods for replacing the premolar is to have your dentists, Dr. Sean and Dr. Sepi, install a dental bridge. A dental bridge in Vallejo, California, is two crowns fused together with a third representative tooth in the middle. It is mounted on a pair of abutments that are formed by the two closest neighboring teeth.

It generally requires two separate appointments to completely install a bridge. During the first appointment, your dentists will examine the two neighboring teeth to make sure they are completely healthy.

Your dentists will then use a drill to remove the tooth enamel from the two neighboring teeth on each side of the void. This leaves behind a pair of abutments that will later anchor your new bridge.

An impression will then be made of the area, which will be sent to our dental lab. This will serve as a guide for the technicians when custom making your final bridge. Once this is done, temporary crowns will be secured over each abutment to protect them.

When your new bridge is ready, a member of our staff will call you to set up a second appointment. The temporary crowns will be removed and your new bridge will be cemented onto the abutments.

If you are missing a premolar or any other tooth in your mouth, you should call 707-642-1360 to understand your restoration options at Plaza Dental Care.

A dental bridge in Vallejo, California, is essentially a single piece of dental work that replicates the function and appearance of the knocked-out tooth. It is fused to a pair of crowns that are anchored on abutments formed out of the two closest teeth.

To form the two abutments, Drs. Sean and Sepi will use a drill to remove the tooth enamel from each of the teeth. This creates a small protective sheath that houses the healthy pulp, root and nerve of each tooth. Temporary crowns will then be secured over each abutment to protect it.

Drs. Sean and Sepi will then cast a detailed impression of the abutments and the other teeth related in your bite. This will be sent to a dental lab to help guide the technicians as they produce your new bridge

A member of our team will call you to schedule a follow-up appointment when your new bridge returns from the dental lab. The temporary crowns will be removed and your new bridge will be cemented into place.

If one of your teeth has been knocked out, you should not delay in calling Plaza Dental Care at 707-642-1360 to schedule an appointment.
