Dr. Wilcox returned last week from an extensive training program in one of the latest techniques in cosmetic dentistry - Durathin Veneers. The program was led by Dr. Dennis Wells in Nashville, Tennessee. A select group of some of the top cosmetic dentists in the country were present, including leaders from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Durathin Veneers are a cosmetic procedure where the teeth are not prepared as in traditional veneers. Only about 30% of patients desiring a smile enhancement are candidates for this technique. The marketing of the Lumineer product has created a greater awareness of the possibilities of non prep veneers. We feel Durathin is a superior product based on our experience and research with other high quality cosmetic dentists. We are proud to be only one of two Arizona dentists who have been trained to offer this outstanding service.

We will be adding some photos of cases soon to our website. If you would like to learn more about the possiblities of Durathin veneers visit www.durathinveneers.com.

Dr. Wilcox was recognized recently in the September issue of Phoenix Magazine as one of the top cosmetic dentists in Phoenix.  The ranking is based on the peer-review system - that is, dentists rate dentists.  1500 area dentists were surveyed and asked to name the top practitioners in seven specialties.  The theory is that dental professionals are best qualified to judge dental professionals.  The magazine listed 121 dentists in 7 different specialties.

 After the nomination process, the magazine checks each dentist against the state’s dental board to determine whether the dentist has been convicted of malpractice or has faced other disciplinary actions.  Those who have are removed from the list.

We are gratified that enough other dental professionals think highly enough of our office to receive this recognition.  We appreciate the referrals we receive from other general dental offices and dental specialists.  We continue to work passionatly to provide the best in Phoenix cosmetic dentistry.
