Dental Implants

To view our results, click here.

For individuals who wish to replace missing teeth, dental implants are available at our practice near Phoenix, Arizona and may be an effective long-term solution. Dental implants provide greater structural support and last longer than either bridges or dentures. Dental implants serve as the artificial root to which new teeth are bonded. Dental implants are typically constructed of titanium, a strong and safe material that effectively attaches to bone. The procedure to insert dental implants at our Phoenix, Arizona area practice typically involves three steps: the implant insertion stage, osseointegration (the period of healing for the jawbone), and the attachment of the restoration or new tooth.

Dental Bonding

The application of tooth colored filling material (composite) to the teeth has been a dental technique for many years. Recent advances in technology have increased the strength, durability and longevity of these restorations.

Scottsdale Smile Center uses bonding material that he molds and sculpts to achieve outstanding natural looking results. Bonding can be used to restore decayed teeth, close spaces between teeth, repair chips, correct discoloration, and straighten misaligned teeth.

Dentures

If you've lost all of your natural teeth, whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, complete dentures can replace your missing teeth and your smile. Replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. Without support from the denture, facial muscles sag, making a person look older. You'll be able to eat and speak - things that people often take for granted until their natural teeth are lost.

Partials

Removable partial dentures usually consist of replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases, which are connected by metal framework. Removable partial dentures attach to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments. Precision attachments are generally more esthetic than metal clasps and they are nearly invisible.

Hygiene

Our doctors believe strongly in taking a preventative approach to dental care. Promoting health through preventative and routine hygiene care is the heart of our practice. More than just "cleaning", these visits allow us to monitor your health and catch potential problems early.

The use of laser, antimicrobials and individual patient education, place our patients in the best position to keep their teeth for life. Ask about the latest techniques and products to assist you in your home care.

Bridges

To view our results, click here.

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. The restoration can be made from porcelain, gold, alloys, or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support. Bridges help maintain the shape of your face, as well as alleviating the stress in your bite by replacing missing teeth.

Dental Crowns

To view our results, click here.

Crowns also called caps cover the entire visible portion of the tooth and are cemented in place. Crowns are used to strengthen teeth that have become worn down or weakened by decay or injury. Crowns are also used to restore the original form and function of a fractured tooth or solely to enhance the appearance of a tooth. The most common types of crowns are all porcelain ceramic, porcelain tooth to metal gold. The materials used are determined by many factors. The doctors at Scottsdale Smile Center will discuss your options and make recommendations on what is best for you.

White Composite Fillings

To view our results, click here.

Until recently, dentists filled and sealed cavities exclusively using a silver and mercury amalgam. Unfortunately, these fillings (or restorations) often weaken teeth due to the large amount of the original tooth that has to be removed. Modern dentistry has increasingly turned to composite fillings as a strong, safe and more natural looking alternative. Composite fillings utilize a soft white plastic substance that includes a hardening agent.

Inlays and Onlays

To view our results, click here.

Inlays and Onlays are designed to restore your teeth back to their original appearance and function without removing an excessive amount of tooth structure, frequently avoiding the need for a crown. These conservative porcelain restorations provide a natural looking, beautiful substitute for unsightly silver mercury fillings.

Our office has performed thousands of successful inlay and onlay procedures.

CEREC®

CEREC® is one of the most significant advances in dentistry in recent years. CEREC® is the only system of its kind - the only system which allows for in-office fabrication of dental restorations.
