This gentleman had been wearing a removable denture for many years. With his business growing he felt the need to have a better smile for his professional life as well as his personal self-image. Needless to say he is extremely happy with restorations that feel like real teeth and look great! Implants would have been another option to support the missing teeth either with bridges or permanent dentures. Dr. Wilcox also performed tooth whitening on the lower teeth to match the new bridges.

A collapsed bite and compromised smile have been corrected with full mouth porcelain restorations following neuromuscular therapy. This gentleman came all the way from California to Arizona to find a dentist whom he was comfortable and confident with. He is very pleased he traveled here to see Dr. Wilcox and the staff of Desert Smiles.

Many people suffer the effects of taking the antibiotic tetracycline during the formative years of their permanent teeth. The dark gray and brown stains are very resistant to tooth bleaching or whitening techniques. In this case veneers and tissue contouring (gum lift) have created a beautiful smile where unsightly darkness existed before. Another happy cosmetic dentistry patient treated by Dr. Wilcox and the staff of Desertsmiles.
