Dental Bridges in Sebastopol

Bridges can be a good solution to a common dental problem — missing teeth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by placing an artificial tooth in the space and connecting it to the neighboring teeth.


What are dental bridges?

Bridges not only improve the appearance of your smile, but has benefits for your oral health. Replacing missing teeth prevents the surrounding teeth from shifting into the gaps, which can cause problems with biting, chewing and speaking, or can lead to developing TMJ disorder. It also can help return your facial structure to a more youthful appearance and restore your confidence. 

What types of dental bridges are available?

There are different types of bridges available, and which one is right for you depends on your individual dental needs. At Oak Tree Dental, we offer both traditional and implant-supported bridges. Traditional bridges are supported by crowns on neighboring teeth that anchor the bridge in place. With implant-supported bridges, instead of crowns or other dental work supporting the replacement tooth, metal implants are placed in the jaw to support the bridge. This can help patients who need several teeth replaced or who have other dental challenges. Other options for replacing missing teeth might be partial dentures or dental implants — talk with us to find out what the best choice for your personal oral health might be. The decision is an individual one and can depend on the condition of your teeth, the location of the missing teeth, and other dental concerns. 

Getting a Dental Bridge

If you’re getting a dental bridge, you can expect a few appointments to complete the whole process, often including the placement of a temporary bridge while your permanent one is prepared. Each bridge is custom-made to match your natural teeth and blend in seamlessly. With good at-home dental hygiene and regular dental care, bridges can be expected to last from 5 to 15 years. If you’re missing one or more teeth, get in touch to talk with us about getting a dental bridge.

I'm a pretty tough mama EXCEPT when it comes to the dentist (ok and ticks too but who's not afraid of those!) I embarrassingly went wayyyyy too long without dental care out of fear. Rather getting cavities than go back.I was referred to Oaktree for that very reason and can not be more grateful. They are so, so kind. Never making me feel bad having gone so long and very attentive to my fear. Communicating everything they are doing before they do it, checking in constantly, and taking breaks for deep breaths when needed. Oaktree's helping get my dental needs back on track while making me feel comfortable and confident about going back. Big nonjudgmental, kind, nurturing sweethearts.

I have been going to the same dentist office for 56 years and he retired. I had great referrals from a friend for Dr.Grados.and his staff. So hard going to someone new but they did everything to make me comfortable. All very nice and explained everything. Also Dr. Grados took his time with me and never seemed to be in a hurry. Would recommend him and his friendly office highly. Had a lengthy procedure today and Dr. Grados did a wonderful job. He is so kind.Today I went for two crowns. Dr. Grados makes them there . No temporary’s, no coming back for permanents. Amazing and meticulous.

Oak Tree Dental is awesome. Dr. Gratos and his whole team are great. They’re super friendly and professional. The office is nice and their operation is really organized. I’ve never waited for more than 5 minutes for an appointment. The care is great, they’re always very clear with their recommendations and are excellent about educating you on oral hygiene and treatment plans etc…highly recommend!

2021 - June I just moved here a few months before I contacted them, and was pleased that my call was returned. they told me of all the details which would be done. I also needed two crowns, etc. and the whole things was done the same day! I was surprised that they didn't send me home with two temp ones!everyone is nice and attentive.Update: I went again for cleaning and that was the best cleaning I have had for a long time.Update: 2024 This is an amazing and professional office. very caring, clean, straight, friendly, on time, and they use latest technology.

Dr. Grados and his staff are extremely competent, friendly and reassuring, the office is immaculate and appealing, the pricing is quite competitive (especially their discounted plan for people without dental insurance). Exams are thorough, in-house fabrication and fitting of dental crowns by Drs. Grados and Navarette have been impeccable.

All-Around Excellent! I just started with Oak Tree Dental 6 months ago and I've already completed a daunting treatment plan including four replacement crowns and five fillings! The staff there is kind and responsive, and they seem dedicated to their work. Dr. Grados is a nice guy and a very experienced dentist. He does excellent work. OTD can get a lot of work done at each appointment, and they have always been ready to address concerns that come up. They are great if you don't have dental insurance because they have a plan just for that. I ended up paying less than I would have with my old dentist, with much better care in less time. Thank you Oak Tree Dental!

I was a patient at the sebastopol dental office prior to Dr. Grados purchasing the practice. It’s hard forMe to make changes but after my first visit with Dr. Grados I was happy to move forward with him as my new dentist. Without reservation, I am very pleased with his work, how the office is managed, and his personal attention and sensitivity to health and financial needs. I can highly recommend Dr Grados and his office staff for their knowledge expertise and professional services.

Some old fillings (50 years or so) are deteriorating. So rather than wait for a broken tooth, today I got a crown. I really appreciate the modern technology that completes the process in one visit! Friendly staff answers all my questions. I will return for all my future dental care!

Fine time at the dentist today. As always Oak Tree Dental is friendly and efficient. Went in for a crown which led to the discovery that a root canal was needed. Oak Tree arranged for the root canal ... SAME Day. Fantastic. Now complete. Thanks!
