Mercury fillings weaken the tooth structure even though most dentists still use them. Our practice is mercury free. We use Tooth Colored restoration and porcelain inlays that are aesthetically pleasing and add strength to your weakened teeth thanks to their bonding technologies.
Mercury or silver fillings can wear off and damage your filled tooth. It exposes the tooth to cavities once again after it starts to deteriorate. The metal in the silver filling can expand, contract, and split over time due to its 50 percent mercury contribution. They can also leak, corrode, and cause stains on your teeth.
Tooth-colored fillings are a great solution for decaying teeth, if the decay is not too big. Depending on the amount of surfaces to be filled, your dentist in San Jose, will provide you with different options.
Dental implants are used as a replacement for missing or failing teeth. Dental implants look and serve like natural teeth. They’re made of titanium posts placed in places with missing teeth. The bone in the gums bonds with the titanium, which creates a strong foundation. Implants also help preserve the structure of your jaw and prevent any bone deterioration resulting from missing teeth.

Have a missing tooth? A dental bridge is a procedure that replaces missing teeth by attaching artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth. Bridges can be removable or permanently attached.
Fixed bridges can either be applied using the adjacent teeth through crowns or bonded to abutment teeth directly.
Filling and dental crowns should look like your natural teeth and not alter your look. However, if the decay to your teeth is extreme, our San Jose team uses porcelain crowns to help restore your beautiful smile. The technique is very reliable for solving most tooth decays.
A dental crown procedure is completed in two sittings most of the time. The first sitting involved removing the decay, shaping the tooth, and fitting the area with a temporary crown.
We will remove the fitted dental crown on your next visit and replace it with the final crown. The final step is to cement the crown in its place to make your tooth good as new.
When your tooth decay has multiple surfaces or is too deep for a filling, dental crown is diagnosed. The material used in crowns consists of high-grade porcelain, which helps increase strength. Crowns can be used where there are excessively damaged teeth that result in tooth loss.
Dentures are made from porcelain, plastic, or a combination of both. Dentures can also help with dental implants to ensure a more secure fit and can also be made to fit over endodontic-treated teeth.
Dentures wear off as time passes and need to be replaced to preserve jaw alignment. Thus, regular dental examinations are important so tissues can be assessed for any damage or disease indication.

It is very important to follow all the postoperative instructions. Your bones and gum will recede after the product, which is why regular maintenance and frequent check-ups are very important. Tissue conditioners or temporary lining will be required during the healing period. After you’ve completed the healing period, permanent denture relines will also be required to ensure an optimal and comfortable fit.
