Practicing The Art Of Cosmetic Dentistry At Villa Canyon Prosthodontics

While the procedures that make up cosmetic dentistry are generally more involved than standard dental care, Scottsdale Prosthodontist Dr. Michael Bleeker and the staff of Villa Canyon Prosthodontics wants you to know that these procedures aren't as scary as the uninitiated might believe. Procedures to install veneers, crowns and bridges are relatively painless and straightforward, and can restore your smile and help secure the long-term health of your mouth. So what are you waiting for?

Veneers are thin, semi-translucent ceramic shells that are permanently bonded to your teeth. Who is a candidate for veneers? Well, they are recommended for those who need minor corrections to improve the appearance of their smile. Veneers may be used for a variety of corrective purposes, including correcting the size, shape, and color or your teeth. Are you a candidate? There's only one way to find out, and that's by scheduling a prosthodontic consultation.

No doubt you've heard of crowns and bridges, and b oth are effective restoration tools. A crown is a permanent restoration that fits over an original tooth that is decayed or damaged. Crowns come in a variety of different materials, including metal, metal-ceramic, or all-ceramic materials.

A fixed bridge replaces one or more missing natural teeth. Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth, meaning once they're on they cannot be removed by the patient. Fixed bridges are useful and effective in that they can maintain the integrity of the dental arch, minimize shifting of the teeth, and help maintain a healthy smile. Like crowns, bridges also come in a choice of metal, metal-ceramic, and all-ceramic materials.

These along with a host of other cosmetic dentistry procedures including dentures, oral sedation, composite bonding and reshaping, oral rehabilitation and full mouth rehabilitation, dental implants and dental oncology are available to patients at Villa Canyon Prosthodontics; the practice of Dr. Michael Bleeker. Dr. Bleeker and his staff believe you deserve the very best in dental care, and are committed to providing a warm and pleasant atmosphere in which to restore your dental health.
