Our High-Tech Dental Office

At Pries Dental Care in West San Jose, we have the latest technology to make your dental visits more comfortable and efficient.By using intraoral cameras, CEREC same-day restorations , digital x-rays and 3D cone beam CT scanning technology, we are able to complete your dental treatments in less time with better results.

Checkups & Cleanings

It is important to visit our office twice each year for your professional teeth cleaning and check-up, where our friendly dental hygienists will gently and effectively remove plaque and tartar buildup with an ultrasonic scaler. Your teeth will feel fresh and clean and Dr. Pries can address any questions or concerns you may have regarding your dental health. He will also examine your teeth, gums and jaw structure and check for any developing health problems, including oral cancer. When necessary, low-radiation digital x-rays are taken so we can examine the soft tissue. When cavities and other issues are caught early, we can do so much more for you in terms of repairing and healing. During check-ups and cleanings, our staff genuinely cares about your comfort. Do not put off your regular checkups. Schedule an appointment today!

Fillings

When a tooth becomes decayed and a cavity forms, it is necessary to remove the decayed tissue and fill it with a durable substance. The filling will keep the structure of the tooth intact and protect it from further deterioration. Fillings today are commonly made from a tooth-colored resin. In the past, other materials such as amalgam (a blend of metals) were used. If you are having any kind of trouble or problem with current fillings, or would like to replace metal or silver fillings, we can help!

Endodontics

When a tooth becomes decayed on the inside, but the enamel and hard structure of the tooth can be saved, we will perform a root canal. During this treatment, the damaged or decayed soft tissue and nerve is cleaned out and the area is cleaned and sealed, preserving the tooth. Dr. Pries routinely performs root canals in the office and if a crown is required, we create the crown during the same appointment with our CEREC crown-fabricating mill, using the best ceramic materials. If a root canal is needed, it is important to have it done as soon as possible to prevent the spread of infection to surrounding soft tissue.

Emergency Dentistry

If any type of emergency arises with your dental health, call us! Whether it be trauma to a tooth or teeth, or a painful toothache, Dr. Pries is an emergency dentist in West San Jose and you can usually be seen the same day.

I have been going to Pries Dental for the past thirteen years, and absolutely love the whole staff and their kindness and professionalism. I've always hated going to the Dentist in the past, but my experience here has been nothing but pleasant.

My husband and I started going to Dr. Pries soon after he opened his practice. It has grown significantly since those days, but the level of personal care has never faltered. Everyone has always been excellent from reception, to billing, to hygienists and of course Dr. Pries himself. We are very happy with Dr. Pries as our dental care provider and would highly recommend him and his office to anyone!

Absolutely awesome. I got a crown yesterday. This is the second procedure I’ve had done here. I also had a root canal done. I mentioned to Dr. Pries that I needed to leave by 5:00. Not only did he make it happen, it was done right. It fit perfectly.

Great, clean and friendly environment filled with professionals. They are well organized and communicate clearly everything ahead of time (no surprises with bills). I trust my whole family’s dental care to Dr Pries and I strongly recommend that anyone would do the same.
