How Can We Help You Achieve Your Dream Smile?

Let's Get Started!

Cosmetic Dentistry

One of the pleasures of offering cosmetic dentistry at Desert Foothills Dental is the joy on a patient's face when we reveal the results of their treatment. We've witnessed dramatic improvements in a person's entire life outlook, so we know that even a small aesthetic improvement can be life-transforming.

How Cosmetic Dentistry Can Help You

Cosmetic dentistry can correct any aesthetic flaws that bother you, so you never have to hold back a smile again.

Chipped teeth
Cracked, worn, or broken teeth
Wide or uneven spaces between teeth
Tooth size or shape differences
Tooth staining or discoloration
Slight tooth misalignment

If you want to improve your smile's appearance for a new job or a new relationship or want to look and feel your best all the time, cosmetic dentistry in Phoenix may be the solution to give you the boost of confidence you need.

A Smile You Can't Wait to Share!

The following cosmetic dental treatments may be used as part of your plan to give you the smile of your dreams.

Tooth-colored fillings
Composite bonding
Porcelain veneers
Aesthetic dental crowns
Zoom! teeth whitening

You may need only one of these cosmetic services, or we may recommend two or more to create your one-of-a-kind dream smile.

What Cosmetic Dentistry Treatment Is Right for You?

We offer all the cosmetic dental treatments you need to achieve a brilliant, beautiful smile.

Porcelain veneers are often considered a high-end cosmetic dental treatment, but that's not the case. Not everyone needs a full set of veneers to see the dramatic results they want. We can often use only one or two to improve aesthetic flaws like broken teeth, uneven spacing, badly stained or discolored teeth, and mild tooth misalignment.
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored composite resin to address minor smile flaws. We commonly use bonding to restore chipped and broken teeth, close wide spaces, or alter a tooth's shape or size. Bonding is affordable and straightforward, and our cosmetic dentist can often address several teeth at one appointment. Best of all, the procedure is minimally invasive and can often be done without numbing or injections!
Composite veneers or direct veneers take dental bonding to the next level. We use the tooth-colored composite resin to correct many of the same flaws as veneers, but for a fraction of the cost. While composite veneers have a shorter lifespan than porcelain, they're a great solution if you want to make an affordable smile improvement or don't want to commit to porcelain veneers.
Zoom! teeth whitening is fast, affordable, and produces a noticeably brighter smile. Choose an in-office laser whitening treatment for fast results or a take-home custom whitening kit to see after 1–2 weeks of daily use.
Dental crowns made of a combination of porcelain and zirconia have many uses, including cosmetics. If you have a tooth that's oddly shaped or sized or is discolored and can't be whitened, a crown that covers it may be the perfect solution.

Getting Started with Cosmetic Dentistry

Your cosmetic dentist is an expert in the art and science of beautiful smiles and will explain all your options. However, it's good to have goals in mind and communicate them clearly during your initial cosmetic dentistry appointment.

Evaluate your smile — Do you want your teeth to look brighter or straighter? Are you bothered by gaps and spacing issues and wish your smile looked more symmetrical? Write down your concerns and bring them to your dental appointment.
Do some research — Your dentist will make treatment recommendations to meet your needs, but checking out before and after images of certain procedures online helps inform you about the results you can expect.
Make a wish list — Still confused and unsure about what you want for your smile? Collect some images of celebrity smiles you admire and bring them to your appointment. This will give your dentist a starting point to make the appropriate recommendations for your unique needs.

Why can't I get a quote for "gluing" my crown back on?

The standard of care, and governing body directives, require that dentists evaluate a tooth before re-cementing a crown. A dentist is expected to evaluate the current health of a tooth or implant, which usually requires an x-ray and a tactile examination. If a dentist misses an obvious issue, it puts the patient at risk of tooth loss and medical compromise. Therefore, dentists cannot dismiss the potential for poor outcomes at the request of the patient and must perform an evaluation first.

How does marijuana use affect dental care?

The effects of marijuana on dental care and dental anesthesia can vary depending on the individual. However, here are some general observations:

Dental Anesthesia: Marijuana use can affect the way your body responds to dental anesthesia, making it more difficult to achieve a sufficient level of sedation for dental procedures. This can lead to a longer recovery time or increased discomfort during the procedure.
Interaction with Medications: If you are using marijuana and other medications, it's important to inform your dentist, as some medications can interact with each other and impact the effectiveness of dental anesthesia. Anxiety and
Nervousness: For some people, marijuana use can increase anxiety and nervousness, making it more difficult to undergo dental procedures. This can lead to increased stress levels and discomfort during the procedure.
Impairment of Cognitive and Motor Skills: Marijuana use can impair cognitive and motor skills, making it more difficult to follow instructions during a dental procedure and increasing the risk of injury to the patient or the dental staff.

It's important to inform your dentist if you use marijuana, so they can take it into account when planning your dental care and administer the appropriate amount of anesthesia. This can help ensure a safe and effective dental procedure.

Why can't I get a quote over the phone?

For the vast majority of dental procedures, we need to take a look at what you need a quote for before stating a dollar amount. For example, with a crown, several factors determine the price including but not limited to:

Does the tooth need a root canal?
Does the tooth need a build-up?
What kind of material needs to be used for the crown?
Does the patient clench or grind their teeth?
Is the tooth supported by healthy teeth and gums?
Does the tooth need custom color matching?

That being said, we CAN quote prices for things such as exams and some basic procedures over the phone.

Laser Teeth Whitening

We offer Zoom! laser teeth whitening, a simple, non-invasive way to dramatically brighten your smile. The process takes 45 minutes to one hour.

First, we protect sensitive gum tissue to prevent irritation. Next, we apply a highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide whitening gel to tooth surfaces.

The intense light of the laser heats the whitening gel to activate it. The laser doesn’t heat your teeth, only the gel, and does not affect the teeth’s physical structures. If you want the best option to dramatically brighten your teeth, laser whitening is the way to go.

As part of laser whitening treatment, we also provide custom trays and additional gel to use at home so that you can maintain beautiful results.
