Non-Metal Dental Bridges and Porcelain Veneers

Friday, February 5th, 2010

The technology of the porcelain to zirconium has progressed tremendously in the last few years to where the aesthetic results match that of empress restorations which are the standard in cosmetic dentistry in Arizona. These restorations have created new possibilities for us here at DesertSmiles to create lifelike dental crowns and bridges without metal but with greater strength than traditional no-metal dental restorations. As we strive to produce the finest in Glendale and Phoenix cosmetic and sedation dentistry, we are constantly searching for technological advances such as this.

Implant Supported Denture

Friday, February 5th, 2010

This is a case where six dental implants were placed in the upper arch and were restored with an overlay denture. Not only is this an excellent aesthetic result, but due to the strength of the implants, no palate is needed in the prosthesis. This enhances the ability to taste food more naturally. The appliance snaps into place an does not move providing great retention and security. The internal metal reinforcement of the prosthesis insures no breakage and extended longevity. As we strive to provide the best in Phoenix cosmetic and implant dentistry, it is very satisfying to provide a beautiful, secure smile in those unfortunate instances where the teeth have been lost or are not savable.
