Dental Implant San Jose CA

Dental implants are made from medically pure titanium and substitute as natural tooth roots. After a moderate healing period, bone “bonds” with the titanium creating a strong foundation for directly attaching crowns and bridges. Dental implants stop further bone loss where teeth were lost and preserve facial contours. Implants can also eliminate partial bridges and full dentures with fixed crowns and bridges.

Periodontics San Jose CA

Periodontal disease and decay are caused by bacterial plaque, which is the primary cause of gum disease in genetically susceptible individuals. Bacteria found in plaque produces toxins or poisons that irritate the gums. If this irritation is prolonged, the gums separate from the teeth, causing pockets (spaces) to form. As periodontal disease progresses, the supporting gum tissue and bone that holds teeth in place deteriorate. Left untreated, this the primary reason people loose teeth.
