Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening systems are designed to fit your schedule, lifestyle and budget. You have the choice of whitening day or night, whatever best meets your needs. Numerous over-the-counter tooth whitening products are now available, but dentist-supervised whitening remains the safest and most effective method for brightening your smile. Tooth whitening systems are closely monitored by clinical staff for maximum results and safety. The take-home whitening process involves wearing a custom-fitted mouth tray containing a whitening gel for a few hours each day or night. The average patient will wear mouth trays two to four weeks.

To avoid halitosis (bad breath) we recommend you have a dental checkup every six months so that we can advise you on any dental issues you might be experiencing, and provide you with the latest in technology to correct those issues to give you the beautiful smile you deserve!. In-office whitening, or laser whitening, often can be accomplished in one visit. A high intensity laser light whitens most teeth several shades. Laser whitening is a great option for busy people who are not interested in home-whitening solutions.

Bonding/Composite Resin

Composites fillings are not only used to restore occlusion (decayed areas), but are also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth. An enamel-like resin is bonded to a tooth’s service, sculpted to an ideal shape, hardened and polished. Composites give you a great smile since many Scottsdale dentists can blend shades to create a color nearly identical to that of your actual tooth.

Porcelain Veneers

Want a Hollywood smile? Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material, which are custom made and bonded to the front of teeth. This procedure requires little or no anesthesia, and can be the ideal choice for improving the appearance of your front teeth. Porcelain veneers can mask discolorations, to brighten teeth, and are excellent alternatives to crowns in many situations. They provide a much more conservative approach to changing a tooth’s color, size or shape. Veneers are great for correcting uneven or crooked teeth, closing spaces between teeth, restoring broken or chipped teeth, and covering stained teeth or visible fillings.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is surgically anchored into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place. The benefit of using implants is that they don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support; they are permanent and stable. Implants are a good solution to tooth loss because they look and feel like natural teeth. Implants can now be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture or removable partial.

Aesthetic Recontouring

In some cases, reshaping individual teeth and gums is a painless method of making natural teeth straighter or more youthful in appearance. Many Scottsdale dentists also offer a full line of general dentistry services. If you are experiencing gum disease or gingivitis contact a Scottsdale dentist that will develop a course of treatment to ensure your oral health is restored.
