Tooth-colored restoration “Bonding”

After removal of decay or old silver fillings from the tooth, the filling of choice we recommend is composite. Composites are Tooth-colored fillings that are designed to match the color of your teeth. Cosmetic dentists in San Jose often prefer these aesthetically pleasing fillings. They are composed of a mixture of glass or quartz filler that provides good durability and resistance to fracture in small- to mid-size restorations that need to withstand moderate pressure from chewing. They can generally be used on either front or back teeth.

Composites are “bonded” or glued to your tooth. This allows us to repair your tooth more conservatively, meaning less tooth structure is removed when the tooth is prepared and more esthetically pleasing restoration of the damaged part of the tooth.

Inlays and Onlays

Dental inlays and onlays are restorations used to repair rear teeth with mild to moderate decay, old large amalgam fillings, or cracked and fractured teeth that are not sufficiently damaged to need a crown.

Dental inlays and onlays are made of strong porcelain tooth-colored material and are bonded to the tooth. They help to strengthen teeth by up to 75 percent. Inlays and onlays blend well with the natural tooth color and structure, making them one of the best restoration options.

Crowns and Bridges

Dental Crowns

Covers your damaged tooth and is a solid replacement for a damaged natural tooth. A crown fits just like a natural tooth because it is created from impressions of your tooth. Cosmetic dentists in San Jose often recommend crowns for their ability to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, providing both strength and aesthetic appeal. Crowns are typically made of durable materials such as porcelain or zirconia, ensuring longevity for your restored tooth.

Dental Bridges

One way to take care of a gap caused by a missing tooth is a dental bridge.

Missing teeth not only make talking and chewing more difficult, but they can also cause other problems over time. Teeth adjacent to the space in your mouth can eventually shift into the empty space, which can affect your bite and lead to gum disease or other disorders such as TMJ.

The bridge is anchored by the two teeth adjacent to the space which are prepared like a crown and connected by a false tooth in between to restore your smile.

Traditional Veneers

Traditional veneers are thin, custom-made coverings that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve the appearance of your smile. They can be an option for patients who are looking to address cosmetic concerns such as discoloration, small chips, worn edges, uneven tooth shapes, or small gaps between teeth.

At Arbor Dental Group, traditional veneers are carefully planned to complement your natural smile, including the shape, shade, and overall appearance of your surrounding teeth. The goal is to create a balanced and natural-looking result while addressing multiple cosmetic concerns at the same time.
