Dr. Wilcox traveled to Austin, Texas to attend a symposium on esthetic dentistry and web optimization sponsored by the Academy of Comprehensive Esthetics.  This organization is made up of the very elite in cosmetic dentistry from the U.S. and Canada.  We are always trying to stay on the leading edge of cosmetic dentistry and hearing from and networking with the best is a terrific opportunity.  Esthetic techniques and technologies continue to advance and we do everything we can to keep pace and be a leader in Phoenix cosmetic dentistry.  We also learned of new ways to continue to improve DesertSmiles.com so it can serve our existing patients and those wanting to learn more about cosmetic and restorative dentistry in Glendale, Arizona and the areas well beyond our website reaches.

Here is a beautiful recent result where a combination of empress veneers and porcelain to zirconium bridges were combined. The technology of the porcelain to zirconium has progressed tremendously in the last few years to where the esthetic results match that of empress restorations which are the standard in cosmetic dentistry. The zirconium core is created via a sophisticated CAD-CAM system and the ceramic material is then baked over the core to create a beautiful and strong restoration. These restorations have created new possibilities for us here at Desert Smiles to create lifelike crowns and bridges without metal but with greater strength than traditional non-metal restorations. As we strive to produce the finest in Phoenix cosmetic dentistry, we are constantly searching for technological advances such as this.

As part of our ongoing quest to provide the finest in Phoenix cosmetic and sedation dentistry we have included an AED to our emergency armentarium. Although we never have had or expect a serious emergency, being the most prepared possible is still our goal. In addition to CPR training yearly, we attend emergency medical training and comprehensive oral sedation training as well. The automatic electronic defibrillator has shown to dramatically improve the success rates in CPR.
