Restoring Your Smile

The focus of restorative dentistry at Pries Dental Care is to replace missing teeth and repair damaged teeth, making them fully functional again, and at the same time, creating a beautiful smile.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is often the best replacement for a missing tooth or multiple teeth. An implant is actually made up of a post implanted into the jaw bone, an abutment that is placed on the post, and a very natural-looking ceramic crown that is placed on the abutment. Once the implant is complete, the new replacement "tooth" looks, feels and performs very much like your natural tooth. The crown for the implant is created right in our office using a state-of-the-art CEREC crown fabricating machine. There are various configurations of dental implants required for different situations when there are multiple missing teeth. Dr. Pries does an excellent job of explaining each dental procedure so that the patient understands exactly what is needed and what will be done.

CEREC Crowns

CEREC Crowns are also known as same-day crowns because they can be made right in our office during your appointment! A crown is a natural-looking ceramic covering used to restore the look and function of a tooth which is damaged or not functioning well. The best way to find out if a crown or some other option is right for you is to schedule an appointment with one of our expert dentists. We fully explain all of the possible treatment options for your unique situation and help you come to the right decision.

Dental Bridge

A dental bridge is made to fill a gap caused by multiple missing teeth. Crowns are placed on the anchoring teeth on either side of the “bridge.” The bridge is created in a dental lab from impressions taken in the office. Dr. Pries and his team use the latest technology to precisely fit your bridge. Once your bridge is perfectly fitted, eating and speaking will be easier. We will discuss this procedure in greater detail at your consultation.

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!

I am a patient here, and this place is nothing short of amazing. A clean dental office with professional and friendly staff. Dr. Pries explained and kept me informed. They followed standards and procedures that made me feel confident having my dental work here. The dental hygienists really do a thorough job when it comes to dental cleaning. I highly recommend this dental office.

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.
