A Story About Dentist 95008
Remember Beverly Hills 90210? Welcome to Dentist 95008, a place where you will hear stories about patients who came to our San Jose Family Dentist office and walked away amazed at the results that modern technology made possible for them. Today’s story is about one man who came in with a missing tooth in the front of his mouth and a serious case of bad breath. He was here for an hour and Dr. Fong sent him on his way with the gap closed and his breath sweet enough to possibly get him a date tonight.
The process the doctor used in this episode of Dentist 95008 to fix the missing tooth problem was called a resin bridge. Only recently available as a solution, and not done by all dentists, this modern miracle procedure actually positions a piece of resin in the gap and then cements it in, much like a filling but larger. The resin is then shaped into the form of a tooth and molded to fit the patients bite line. It’s particularly effective with front teeth.
The bad breath was the result of poor gum care and simply not brushing the teeth often enough. Dr. Fong used sonic technology to clean this patient’s teeth and gums, colored the resin bridge to be a slight shade lighter than the rest of the teeth, and then recommended teeth whitening either professionally or using Crest white strips. The patient left with a huge smile on his face and Dr. Fong was once again the hero in the wonderful world of Dentist 95008.
It may sound like a cross between cheesy TV drama and science fiction but it’s the type of story we see unfold every day in our San Jose Family Dentist office. Dr. Fong has spent three decades studied dental and cosmetic dental procedures and now offers top-of-the-line care to all of his patients using the most modern methods available in the industry today. Resin bridges are just one example. Be sure to ask about veneers, lumineers, implants, partial dentures, and other solutions that aren’t anything like what they were years ago.
