Dental Crowns & Bridges
A dental crown also called a tooth cap, covers the entire visible part of a tooth, providing protection and aesthetic improvement. In San Jose, CA, crowns are essential for safeguarding teeth with significant damage, decay, or following root canal therapy. They not only strengthen teeth but also enhance their appearance.
Dental bridges, on the other hand, use crowns placed on healthy teeth adjacent to a gap to support a false tooth (pontic). This prevents neighboring teeth from shifting, restores jaw function, and improves chewing and speech. While bridges can restore facial shape, it's important to note that bone loss may occur underneath the false tooth.
Occlusal Adjustment
Occlusion describes how your upper and lower teeth fit together when chewing or with your mouth closed. Occlusal adjustment involves carefully altering tooth surfaces to remove interferences (high points) and improve how your teeth come together. A quick and straightforward occlusal adjustment is often required after getting a filling, inlay, onlay, dental crown, or bridge.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® Clear Aligners utilizes a sequence of clear, removable aligners to effectively straighten teeth free from the discomfort of traditional metal wires and brackets. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks and only removed for eating, drinking, and oral care, allowing gradual and gentle alignment throughout 12 to 18 months.
This treatment method provides convenience and comfort and ensures consistent progress toward achieving the desired teeth alignment and a confident smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the number one solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. The titanium post is surgically placed in your jawbone and functions like a natural tooth root. After the fusion process, you’ll receive a customized crown, bridge, or full mouth prosthesis crafted from highly durable and beautiful zirconia that fully restores your smile's function and beauty.
Full & Partial Dentures
Full and partial dentures offer effective solutions for replacing missing teeth and restoring oral function. Full dentures replace all teeth in a dental arch and are supported by the gums and underlying bone structure.
They are custom-made to fit comfortably and improve chewing and speaking abilities. Partial dentures are designed to fill gaps where some natural teeth remain, using clasps or attachments to secure them and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. They enhance aesthetics, support facial contours, and maintain oral health.
Oral Surgery
Oral surgery encompasses various procedures to treat multiple dental and oral conditions. It often includes tooth extraction, wisdom teeth removal, jaw surgery, and dental implant placement. Oral surgery is crucial in correcting dental issues, alleviating pain, and restoring oral health and function.
