Non-Metal Dental Bridges and Porcelain Veneers
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. For more information on Peoria

Porcelain to Zirconium Bridge, MAC Veneers, Teeth Bleaching



A beautiful result of instant orthodontics by Phoenix cosmetic dentist Dr. Donald Wilcox combining several techniques to create a total smile makeover. One of the central incisors in the before picture had to be removed due to an untreatable problem. The area was not acceptable to place a dental implant and implant crown so a
porcelain to zirconium bridge was placed. MAC Veneers and teeth bleaching of the remaining teeth completed a terrific result. These are the kinds of results we produce weekly as we strive to provide the best in Phoenix and Scottsdale cosmetic dentistry.

Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Although the majority of cosmetic dentistry at DesertSmiles is performed with porcelain veneers and crowns,
cosmetic bonding remains a great option in certain cases. Cosmetic dental bonding is very conservative to the tooth structure and about one third the cost of veneers. Its biggest drawback is over time it can discolor and pick up stains. Regular polishing of the dental bonding and being careful about coffee, tea and smoking can also prolong the life expectancy. As we strive to provide the best in Arizona cosmetic dentistry, dental bonding can transform a smile in one visit for a very reasonable investment.

snoring and sleep apnea treatment in Glendale and Phoenix, Az visit

Zirconium Bridge, Porcelain Veneers and Crowns Combination
In complex smile designs such as this case we combined three different technologies, a zirconium to porcelain
fixed bridge in harmony with
MacVeneers and Empress crowns. The ability to place all porcelain bridges built on a zirconium core has dramatically improved the aesthetic results possible when replacing missing teeth. They have the strength of the old style porcelain to metal bridges with much more natural appearance. They will never develop the gray line at the gum line associated with porcelain to metal restorations. For an experienced cosmetic dentist in Phoenix and Glendale, Az contact Dr. Wilcox and the team at DesertSmiles.

Veneers Solve Tetracycline Stained Smile
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 such as
Zoom bleaching. In this cosmetic makeover veneers and tissue contouring (
gum lift) have created a beautiful smile where unsightly darkness existed before. Another happy patient treated by Glendale and Phoenix cosmetic dentist Dr. Donald Wilcox. For the finest in Arizona sedation dentistry and snoring and sleep apnea treatment see
