Dental Implants

Implant dentistry is an excellent solution for the problem of missing teeth. Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that include a biocompatible titanium anchor. The anchor is surgically implanted in the jawbone to act as a solid foundation for a replacement tooth. Dr. Carey Weatherholt is widely respected for his exceptional skills in the creation of natural-looking replacement teeth for San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Los Gatos area patients. Contact San Jose Smile Makeover today to learn if dental implants are the right tooth replacement option for you!

Full Dentures

If you have lost all or most of your teeth, then full dentures might be the right option for you. San Jose Smile Makeover provides custom-designed dentures to San Jose and Santa Clara area residents. These dentures are precisely fitted to a patient’s mouth to restore comfortable chewing, proper facial alignment, and a confident smile. If you are interested in learning more about dentures in San Jose, or the surrounding areas of Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, or Los Gatos, Dr. Weatherholt would be happy to meet with you personally and discuss your individual needs.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures can be used when a patient still retains some teeth, but needs to fill gaps in the smile. These partial, or removable, dentures are attached by discrete clasps, either to existing teeth or to crowns or dental implants. Partial dentures help protect teeth on either side of the gap from damage or shifting position and can greatly improve a patient’s chewing, speech, and overall appearance. If you are considering a partial denture, or would like to discuss the pros and cons of dental implants versus dentures, contact our San Jose office near Santa Clara today.

Empress® All-Porcelain Crowns

San Jose Smile Makeover is proud to offer our patients high-grade, all-porcelain crowns from Empress®, the leader in dental crowns. Crowns fit like snug caps over the top of teeth, masking imperfections and strengthening weakened or damaged teeth. Our beautiful porcelain Empress® crowns can also help balance the bite and bring overall symmetry to a patient’s smile. In some cases, we can make and place your porcelain crown in a single office visit by utilizing CEREC® technology. For more information about porcelain crowns, contact San Jose Smile Makeover today.

Fixed Bridges

If you have just a small gap in your smile, a dental bridge might be the simplest way to restore the integrity of your bite. A bridge fills this gap with natural looking artificial teeth and, most commonly, attaches to crowned teeth on either side of the opening. A bridge can help correct strain when biting and chewing, as well as difficulties speaking clearly, and misalignment in the bite. And almost as importantly, a bridge can restore your ability to smile with confidence.

The best way to keep a strong, healthy smile is to combine a daily regimen of brushing and flossing with regular dental checkups and cleanings with your dentist. A professional cleaning allows your dentist to remove plaque and bacteria in hard to reach areas that even brushing and flossing can miss. Regular cleanings are also extremely important for ensuring that your gums stay healthy and disease-free. To schedule an exam or cleaning, please contact our office staff today.

If left untreated, gum disease can result in more than just swollen gums or bad breath, it can cause bone and tooth loss, and possibly, even more serious health consequences. Gum disease, or gingivitis as it is caused in its early stages, is caused by excessive plaque bacteria near and under the gumline. These bacteria attack the soft tissues of the mouth, causing redness, swelling, and bleeding in the gums. Our office has many effective treatments to reverse damage from gum disease caught in its early stages, as well as effective cosmetic dentistry procedures to repair damage caused by late detection. If you have tenderness in your gums or regular bleeding when you brush your teeth, don’t wait. Contact our dental care team today to set up an oral examination.
