Tooth Restoration in Phoenix

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

At Harris Dental in Phoenix and Queen Creek, we use a variety of techniques to restore damaged teeth. Most dental clients are familiar with fillings. Traditional fillings are also called ‘direct restorations‘ because they are applied to the tooth, shaped and polished in one visit.

Another type of filling is called an ‘indirect restorations‘ and is fabricated in a Arizona dental lab. There are two types: inlays and onlays.

When a tooth needs more extensive dental restoration, a crown is often used. At Harris Dental in Phoenix and Queen Creek, we create strong, natural-looking crowns from a variety of materials.

What if the tooth is damaged beyond repair? There are a number of functional replacements for missing teeth. Dentures are not the only option.

Call 602-955-8600 to learn about the restoration options available. We have been improving smiles for patients since 1980.

Whether the damage is caused by decay, injury, bite problems, or natural wear; Drs. Joseph, Brian, Eric & Scott Harris DDS will choose the best dental treatment plan for your tooth restoration needs. Harris Dental has two locations for your convenience: 4444 N. 32nd Street, in Phoenix, AZ and 20261 E. Ocotillo Road in Queen Creek, AZ. We provide quality dental care for area families.

Affordable Phoenix Cosmetic Dentistry

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Will your Arizona dental insurance cover Phoenix cosmetic dental procedures? Many dentistry clients assume their dental insurance won’t cover any cosmetic dental procedures. This is probably true for tooth bleaching or first time dental bonding. However, many Arizona dental insurance plans and dental supplemental plans cover orthodontia and any treatment needed to repair damage from an injury. Medical insurance and worker’s compensation plans may also cover injury treatment.

Some Arizona dental insurance plans cover replacement porcelain veneers in certain circumstances. Check with your carrier for benefit specifics if you need replacement veneers due to deterioration. We can then discuss dental treatment options such as replacement veneers or porcelain crowns. When the work is completed, we may be able to help you submit your dental claim form if your plan requires one.

If you are in need of any kind of dental treatment; from a cleaning to major restorative work, come in to Harris Dental in Phoenix or Queen Creek. You can meet our friendly and accommodating team, undergo a thorough evaluation and discuss financing options. Even if you do not have Arizona dental insurance, let’s talk. Top quality Arizona dental treatment is a wise investment and may be more affordable than you think.

Dentists Joseph, Brian, Eric & Scott Harris of Harris Dental have been proudly serving Phoenix and Queen Creek area residents since 1980. Harris Dental is a network dental provider for many Arizona dental insurance plans.

Sedation Dentistry in Phoenix & Queen City

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Picture the following scenario: You are stretched out in a chair at your dentist’s office holding a remote as you try to tune into your favorite Arizona radio station. An assistant clips a paper bib around your neck. Someone switches on a bright overhead light and you see latex-gloved hands moving toward your open mouth. You close your eyes.

As you read this, does your heart begin racing? Are your palms sweaty?

If so, you may be a good candidate for sedation dentistry. Oral sedation benefits nervous dental patients in Phoenix & Queen City every day. Moderate sedation is used for all types of dental procedures such as root canals, dental implants, and wisdom teeth removal. If you are considering extensive restorative or cosmetic dental work, conscious sedation may allow your dentist to complete multiple procedures in a single visit.

Don’t let fear prevent you from getting the dental treatment you need. Schedule a visit with Drs. Joseph, Brian, Eric & Scott Harris to learn about conscious sedation dentistry.
