Not every smile is perfect. In fact, most aren’t. However, that doesn’t mean that you have to live with dental damage, gaps, and discoloration that bring down your self-confidence and make you want to hide your smile instead of letting it show. Dr. Upton is an accomplished cosmetic dentist who has decades of experience transforming grins. If you have dental imperfections that you’ve been wanting to get rid of, our team at Arrowhead Dentistry can likely help with cosmetic dentistry in Glendale, AZ!
Dental veneers are often considered a one-stop-shop because they can address several cosmetic flaws in one treatment. The veneers themselves can be crafted from porcelain or ceramic, depending on your preferences, and they’re individually made to fit over each tooth. They’re shaped like small sheaths that are made to fit over the visible surface of the teeth, concealing dental damage, discoloration, gaps, chips, and even slight misalignment.
Do you have an outdated metal filling or crown that you’d like to have replaced? Dr. Upton uses gold-standard dental materials to craft lifelike restorations, like Emax, porcelain fused to metal, and zirconia. Not only do they blend in with your surrounding teeth so they don’t highlight dental damage, but they’re also built to last for an average of seven years with the proper maintenance.
Cosmetic bonding is a simple, cost-effective way to restore chipped and damaged teeth as well as fill in gaps between teeth. Using a biocompatible composite resin, Dr. Upton is able to sculpt the missing portion of your tooth and adhere it to your natural tooth. He’ll then texturize the putty to be virtually indistinguishable from your enamel. Once completed, you likely won’t even be able to tell which tooth was damaged!
Do you have an important upcoming event, like a wedding or job interview? Have you been spending money on store-bought tooth whitening products that don’t deliver the results you’re hoping for? Our team at Arrowhead Dentistry offers safe, effective, and customized take-home and in-office teeth whitening treatment for your convenience. Within as little as an hour or two weeks, you’ll be able to achieve your ideal results.
