Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacements that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Using titanium posts and ceramic crowns, we restore single or multiple missing teeth while preventing bone loss. Our CEREC technology creates custom crowns in-office during your appointment.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic services include porcelain veneers, laser teeth whitening, and bonding to improve smile aesthetics. We combine functionality with appearance improvements, offering personalized treatment plans that address gaps, discoloration, and tooth shape irregularities using durable materials.
Laser Dentistry
Waterlase laser technology enables minimally invasive procedures with reduced need for anesthesia. We use this FDA-approved system for gum contouring, cavity preparation, and periodontal therapy, ensuring faster healing and greater patient comfort compared to traditional methods.
Restorative Dentistry
We specialize in restoring damaged teeth through crowns, bridges, and fillings. Our same-day CEREC crowns use advanced ceramic materials for durable, natural-looking restorations. We also treat cracked teeth and dental trauma with precision and care.
Emergency Dentistry
We provide same-day emergency appointments for dental trauma, toothaches, and broken restorations. Our team handles urgent cases with priority scheduling, offering immediate pain relief and stabilization for dental injuries or infections.

Dr. Pries is very meticulous with his work. One of my tooth had a very deep cavity and it's nerve was about to get exposed. That would have required me to undergo RCT. But he was able to save it with his expertise.

I do recommend Dr. Pries because he is very professional and he possessed an excellent knowledge about dental. He is not in my insurance network but I choose quality over quantity. Special thanks to Sara and Rebecca for their outstanding customer service.

I was in the market for a new dentist in the South Bay. I found Pries Dental Care and boy, am I glad I did. I went in for my first exam and everyone I came in contact with from the first telephone call to the end of visit were super friendly, kind and efficient. The office is very clean, modern and I felt like I was in very capable, professional hands. Also, the insurance and financial aspect was handled seamlessly as well. A big shout out to my new favorite "ORAL CARE" people!

Pries Dental Care is a wonderful office of professionals. I have been hesitant about going to the dentist for several years. I finally decided to take that leap of faith and find a dentist and I am ecstatic that it was Pries Dental Care office. Everyone from the receptionists, hygienist, financial/benefits specialist, and of course Dr. Pries were the most kind, friendly, comforting group of people I have had the fortune to deal with. I look forward to having them handle my dental care going forward. All my anxieties have subsided after my visit.

I have been with Dr. Pries for almost 10yrs. Dr. Pries chooses great staff and creates a friendly work environment. I continue to receive great care and maintenance of my teeth since the day I chose Pries Dental Care. I also receive great tips to improve the condition of my teeth between regular check-ups. There is no upselling, on products, only education and recommendation on what is best for me. I am not pressured to make choices on products or services.
