Multiple Tooth Replacement

Turlock, CA Multiple Tooth Replacement

Benefits with fixed bridge on implants:
In this case, when replacing three teeth in the far back of the mouth, a fixed bridge anchored to dental implants is the only fixed alternative. Traditional dentures can't offer the same stability or function.

Having dental implants replacing your lost back teeth will give you new, unparalleled strength and stability that allows you to eat what you want. It will also preserve your jawbone and facial appearance.

The only fixed alternative in this situation.
A stable, secure solution that lets you eat what you want
Preserves your facial appearance and prevents bone loss

Treatment:
After the initial examination, you can expect 4-5 additional visits to our Turlock office until the final fixed bridge is permanently attached. It is normal to experience some minor bruising and swelling in the gum and soft tissue afterwards. Any discomfort is usually treated with an ordinary painkiller. You should expect to be able to work the next day.

COURSE OF TREATMENT

INSTALLING THE FIXED BRIDGE– STEP-BY-STEP

The course of treatment described here is one of several options available. Consult your dentist to find out what the best solution is for you, given your specific condition.


1: Before the procedure Three teeth at back end of the mouth are missing. The only real replacement alternative is installing a fixed bridge. The bridge contains all teeth in one piece and is anchored on dental implants.	2: Installing the implant First, the implants are installed at our Turlock office. This is normally done in a single session. A temporary bridge may be placed at the same time, making it possible for you to function like normal almost immediately after leaving the dentist.


3: Attaching the bridge The implants need to integrate with the jawbone before the permanent bridge is attached. This is normally done 1-2 months after the implant installation. The time will vary, depending on the teeth affected and the esthetical demands.	4: End result The new bridge will handle all the pressure that your strong, natural back teeth did. You will have a stable and secure solution that allows you to eat what you want.

ALTERNATIVES TO FIXED BRIDGE FOR OUR TURLOCK AREA PATIENTS

Removable partial denture
This alternative is often perceived as uncomfortable and a bit complicated to use. Function can’t be compared to that of a bridge. This denture is made of plastic and metal, which affects its look. It is quite expensive to fabricate due to its many parts. However, the installation process is simple, and natural teeth are spared.

Testimonials

"Dr. Gesicho is the most gentle dentist I have ever been to!"

“I was referred to Dr. Gesicho by a friend and was scared to death of going to a new dentist especially because of the extensive work I needed done. But, all my fears went away after meeting her and her staff. The office is up to date and very clean! Dr. Gesicho is the most gentle dentist I have ever been to. She is very calming and personable and truly listened to my concerns. Each appointment I waited less then 10 minutes to be seen, and always was treated as if I were their main priority. So, if your are like me and a bit of a chicken when it comes to dentists, and are in need of a new dentist, give Dr. Gesicho a try and you will not be disappointed!

Mrs. Jules

“State of The Art”

"I met Dr. Gesicho on the golf course, she's a pretty incredible golfer. When my previous dentist retired I decided to give Gladys a try. I informed her, I was always afraid of dentists and if she hurt me I would not go back. Well, I've been going to her for 2 years now. Dr Gesicho is very professional and uses the latest state of the art equipment and methods. I know also, that she is constantly in continuing training to stay on top of the newest technology."
