Restorative Dentistry
Few things make a person as self-conscious about their smile and appearance as a chipped tooth, a missing tooth or drastically discolored filling. Restorative dentistry is used to repair flawed smiles by restoring the natural appearance of teeth that have been damaged, decayed or lost. At ACCU Dental, Dr. Kumar will work closely with her patients and thoroughly discuss all restorative options, weighing the pros and cons of each one. Whether patients are considering a bridge, an implant or dentures, Dr. Kumar will be friendly and committed to explaining all of the options and providing the patient with a sense of confidence in the decision they make.
Dental Implants and Bridges
When it comes to missing teeth, there are several options in the realm of restorative dentistry. One of the most common choices for repairing a gap is a permanent bridge. Bridges allow patients to maintain full use of their teeth, to properly chew and speak, and to maintain the shape of the face. They are made up of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and a false tooth/teeth in between. The false tooth in between, or the pontic, can be made of porcelain, gold, alloys or a blend of these materials for a look that best suits the patient’s desires. The anchoring teeth on either side, or the abutment teeth, will maintain an appearance that blends naturally into the smile.
Another option for filling in for a missing tooth is a dental implant. Implants are surgically embedded artificial teeth that can be used to repair a gap, or to act as a structural base for bridges or dentures. Not only do they perform all of the functions of a natural tooth, they are permanent and they look completely normal. For dental implants in San Jose, Dr. Kumar will shape the implant accordingly so that it looks exactly like the tooth it is replacing, and she will match the shading to blend in naturally with the surrounding teeth for a flawless look.
Actual Patient Reviews for ACCU Dental
“Dr. Kumar is incredibly personable and easy to talk with. She exhibits a genuine interest in her patients' health… I can honestly say that no matter what procedure is being done, your comfort and well-being are tops on her priority list. She will continually ask how you are doing and if you need a break to rest your jaw…. For someone who used to be incredibly nervous and anxious when going to the dentist, I never feel that way when I know I've got an appointment with Dr. Kumar.”
“Let me start by saying that Dr. Kumar's work is very gentle and patient. I am extremely frightened of dentists, but Dr. Kumar put me at ease with friendly conversation and a complete explanation of treatment. She did my deep cleaning and several fillings, including deep fillings, and she did not hurt a bit. I even liked her friendly staff. I have no doubt that I would go back to her for my treatments. She is the best!!!”
