Dental Veneers: Perfect Smile | Peoria Cosmetic Dentist

Dental Veneers: Reach Your Perfect Smile

Our patients love to smile. When people have imperfections with their teeth they are less likely to have smile confidence. Dental veneers can help a patient receive the perfect smile that they have always wanted.

Veneers can replace a chipped or broken tooth, worn down teeth, gapped teeth, oddly shaped teeth, and discoloration.

A patient can expect their veneers to provide a natural appearance that fits in with the rest of the teeth. They are stain resistant and can last up to 10 years.

Are veneers the right choice for your smile? Contact Dr. Donald Wilcox at his Peoria Cosmetic Dentist Office today to learn more about your dental veneer options.

Phoenix Arizona Cosmetic Dental Makeover Combining Porcelain Veneers and Dental Bonding

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Almost no tooth preparation was required in this Glendale smile makeover by Phoenix cosmetic dentist Dr. Don Wilcox. Two porcelain veneers were place on the upper arch with the remaining teeth being bonded. The lower arch was restored with a non-prep bonded bridge and dental bonding of the remaining teeth. This case could have been done with all porcelain veneers but the combination of including bonding made it more affordable and fit with the patient’s budget.
As we strive to provide the finest in Phoenix and Scottsdale cosmetic dentistry, Glendale sedation dentistry and snoring and sleep apnea treatment, these results are common. See more at www.desertsmiles.com.

Dental Implants: Say Goodbye To Dentures & Bridges | Phoenix Cosmetic Dentist

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Dental implants are a great dental innovation that replaces the old options of Dentures or Dental Bridges. Dental bridges are attached to the jawbone by a process called “osseointegration. Once attached to the jawbone the implants are just as strong, if not stronger, than your original teeth. This allows patients to enjoy confidence in the fact that their teeth will remain in place while talking, eating, and enjoying life…unlike its older counterparts.

Dental implants also never decay and they eventually fuse with the jawbone so bone loss is not a problem in general. When cared for correctly dental implants can last indefinitely.

To find out more about your dental implant options contact our friendly and helpful dental staff at Desert Smiles today.
