Tooth Restoration in Phoenix

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Tooth Restoration in Phoenix 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

Affordable Phoenix Cosmetic Dentistry 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

Sedation Dentistry in Phoenix 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.

Phoenix Teeth Whitening and Veneers

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Phoenix Teeth Whitening and Veneers Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure in Phoenix and throughout Arizona.

Numerous ads for whitening products in our local Phoenix media contain terms such as ‘white brite’, ‘22 carbamide peroxide’ and ‘peroxide teeth’. They look tempting, but how do you separate tooth bleaching fact from fiction?

First, and especially for our local  patients, we recommend talking to Drs. Joseph, Brian, Eric and Scott Harris DDS at Harris Dental at either our Phoenix  or Queen Creek office. Just because teeth whitening products are readily available, it doesn’t mean they are all safe or appropriate for every person. Getting a professional opinion is a good first step.

Don’t be fooled by smile whitening hype and risk damage, especially if you need tetracycline teeth whitening. If you have existing cosmetic dental work such as crowns, bonding, partial dentures or bridge work, it is especially important to talk to a dental professional about worry free dentistry teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening kits are not the only way to quickly improve your smile. Many of your neighbors have benefited from porcelain veneers. There are several brands of veneers such as Lumineers by Cerinate, da Vinci and Mac. We can help you decide on which is best for you.

Veneers are sometimes called ‘instant orthodontics’ because they can correct tooth misalignment and gaps as well as provide instant teeth whitening.

Porcelain veneers can also fix chipped teeth and cover stains. The vast majority of Phoenix veneer recipients are extremely pleased with the results.

Providing comprehensive dental care for Paradise Valley families since 1979.

Are Dental Implants Worth It For Phoenix?

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Are Phoenix Dental Implants Worth It? A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels and works like a natural tooth.

The actual dental implant material is usually titanium. A post is surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation. The root replacement device can help prevent future jaw bone deterioration that can occur after a tooth has been lost. When the implant has integrated securely with the bone (it can take three to six months), a smaller post is attached. This post extends above the gum line. The artificial tooth (crown) is then attached.

The dental implants available in the Phoenix and Queen Creek area are extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of configurations. One dental implant can replace one missing tooth. A series of implants can replace more than one tooth or anchor a dental bridge. Implants can also act as a sturdy base for partial or full dentures.

When calculating the cost of dental implants, you’ll want to compare them to other restorative options.

Call 602-955-8600 to schedule a visit to discuss your dental goals and the possibility of reasonably cost dental implants. If you are missing one or more teeth, you owe it to yourself to get dental implants information.

Are You Ready to Smile Again, Phoenix? Most Phoenix and Queen Creek residents have plenty of things to smile about.

Phoenix Cosmetic Dental Artistry

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Phoenix Cosmetic Dental Artistry Cosmetic dentistry is part science and part art.

We are Drs. Joseph, Brian, Eric and Scott Harris of Harris Dental and we enjoy using extensive dental training and specialized artistic skills to design treatment plans unique to each of our Arizona cosmetic dental clients.

In order to achieve an attractive, yet natural looking result, we do much more than recommend specific procedures. We consider the shape, alignment, color and condition of the teeth. In order to create a balanced look, the facial shape and coloring is taken into account. The client’s age, health condition and lifestyle all influence the plan.

At Harris Dental, there is no one size fits all treatment plan.

Our artistic abilities have been perfected over several years of creating smile transformations for our Phoenix and Queen Creek cosmetic dentistry clients. We are constantly receiving the latest training in new techniques and materials.

Even fairly recent cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening and porcelain veneers have advanced considerably. Dental implants are a truly remarkable solution for our Arizona dental clients who have lost one or more teeth.

We would love to design a personalized smile makeover for you. When the work has been completed and you are enjoying your new look, it will only be obvious to those who see you all the time. Others will assume you have always been blessed with a naturally beautiful and healthy smile.

Gummy Smile?

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Gummy Smile? Many Arizona cosmetic dentistry patients with a gummy smile undergo crown lengthening surgery to bring proper balance and symmetry to their smile. Gum tissue (and in some cases bone) is removed to expose more of the visible part of a tooth. It is a safe procedure that does not affect healthy tooth structure.

A ‘gummy smile’ is a term used to describe a smile with teeth that appear too short because an unusual amount of bone and soft tissue hide part of the crown. Our Phoenix and Queen Creek cosmetic dental patients who have opted for crown lengthening love how their new perfect smile looks and feels. Some of our crown lengthening clients also choose teeth whitening for an extra-dazzling smile!

Crown lengthening is not used solely for cosmetic reasons. When a tooth is injured and breaks at the gum line or if a filling or crown comes off a tooth that contains decay, crown lengthening makes additional tooth structure accessible for further restorative work. It is also used to treat some types of periodontal disease.

At Harris Dental, we perform cosmetic and restorative crown lengthening for patients in the Phoenix and Queen Creek areas. The surgery can be performed by a general dentist, periodontist or oral surgeon.

If you are interested in crown lengthening or other cosmetic dental procedures and live in the Phoenix or Queen Creek area, schedule an exam by calling 602-955-8600. When you come in, we can show you before and after photos of Arizona cosmetic dentistry clients who are enjoying their new smile.

Restoring Smiles at Harris Dental in Phoenix

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Restoring Smiles at Harris Dental in Phoenix A great smile is essential for putting your best face forward. At Harris Dental, we not only restore teeth to their original condition; we make many Arizona smiles better than they ever were before!

Some patients have only a few problems they wish to correct. Perhaps one or two teeth are misshapen and seem out of alignment. If the problem teeth are only superficially crooked—meaning they do not need to be moved into place with orthodontia—porcelain veneers are the answer. Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain shells that are attached to the front of one of more teeth. They are extremely versatile and can correct shape, color, or both.

Another plus: porcelain veneers are essentially non-invasive and do not affect healthy tooth structure.

Some of our Phoenix and Queens Creek dental patients were happy with their smile in years past but now want to bring up the whiteness a notch or two. Teeth whitening is a popular procedure for our cosmetic dentistry clients. We provide a variety of teeth whitening options for every type of smile. If you are ready to brighten your smile, come on in; we’ll help you find the best tooth whitening system for your smile.
