]]> Things like dental avulsion, untreated tooth decay, or a treatment-related extraction can cause the total loss of a tooth. Beyond the functional concerns, this can also impact your self-esteem and physical appearance and it can impact the clarity of your speech. With time, the nearby teeth can react to the void by altering their orientation in your mouth. The orthodontic complications and dental attritions that result can be uncomfortable and the treatment can be costly.

To prevent these problems from befalling you, Dr. Khashayar Khomejany can offer a few different options. This most commonly involves installing a dental bridge or a dental implant.

A bridge is a single piece of dental work that is comprised of three artificial teeth. The two teeth on the end are dental crowns that will anchor the bridge onto abutments that are formed from the cores of the two closest nearby teeth on each side of the void.

Dental implant restorations occur in two distinct phases. This starts by having a titanium abutment surgically inserted directly into the underlying bone structure in the socket. Titanium will gradually bond with the surrounding bone tissues to create a strong anchor point for an eventual dental crown. Once this has been achieved, we can go about the standard process of fitting the titanium abutment with a crown.

If you live in the Vallejo, California, area and you have lost a tooth, you should call 707-642-1360 to set up a dental restoration consultation at Plaza Dental Care.

]]> Welcome to Plaza Dental Care, a  comprehensive, family-friendly dental practice in Vallejo, California, where we use state-of-the-art dental technology, including CEREC® one-visit restorations for our patients seeking a high-quality, natural-looking dental crown.

As well as covering a tooth that is damaged, weakened or discolored, our porcelain dental crown can be used to help a tooth’s shape or appearance to look more attractive, and also to keep the bite healthy as a crown prevents the teeth from shifting.

Our porcelain dental crowns are created to match your own pearly whites, making them a natural-looking replacement. The life of a dental crown can run anywhere between five to fifteen years, depending on the amount of stress you place on it and how well you care for your oral health in general. Taking excellent care of your crown means staying on top of your oral health which includes:

  1. Brushing at least twice a day
  2. Flossing daily at least once (particularly around the crown area where your gums reach the tooth)
  3. Avoiding hard foods, biting your fingernails and grinding and clenching your teeth
  4. Keeping up with routine professional dental cleanings and exams

Do you have a damaged or missing tooth that may benefit from wearing a dental crown? If so, Dr. Sean and Dr. Sepi in Vallejo, California, are here to help restore your smile in just one visit. To schedule visit with our skilled team, please call 707-642-1360 today and let us restore your smile confidence!
