Teeth veneers are a form of cosmetic dentistry that is a common choice amongst patients in need of cosmetic treatment. This popular treatment is desirable for patients who have suffered from discolored, chipped, or misshapen teeth. Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells made of either porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their shape, size, and color. They are a long-lasting and natural-looking solution that will enhance the overall appearance of your smile. If you believe you are a candidate for teeth veneers, call our dental office near Surprise, Arizona, to schedule a consultation. One of our fantastic doctors will assess your situation and provide you with the appropriate next steps.

CEREC technology uses computer-aided design and manufacturing to create custom dental crowns in a single office visit. This advanced dental technology allows patients to forgo temporary crowns and many office visits, saving them from unnecessary pain or inconvenience. The process for creating a crown with CEREC technology is simple and fast. First, a digital impression of the patient’s mouth will be taken, next, the computer will create the crown’s design, and lastly, it will craft the crown out of a block of ceramic material. If you have questions regarding CEREC same-day crown technology, call our office located near Surprise, AZ,  today.

If you are missing any of your teeth, it is crucial to have them replaced. Without all of your teeth, a simple task like chewing while eating could cause your mouth discomfort. Without all of your teeth, your mouth might shift, which could make your face look older. To avoid these potential problems, talk to Dr. Harmon, DMD, about whether or not dental implants would work for you.

An implant crown looks just like your natural tooth, but it is made of porcelain. The dental implant is actually made up of two parts: the titanium-body implant and the tooth-colored porcelain crown. The implant is attached to your jawbone to help keep it in place. The crown is then placed on the implant to complete the process and help make your smile bright once again.

Occasionally, your dentist might use dental implants to support your dentures—especially your bottom dentures—that might become displaced while talking or eating. Patients with removable partial dentures might get implants to fill in gaps where teeth are missing to create a more natural smile.

Thanks to his training, knowledge, and skill, Dr Harmon, DMD, is able to complete the restorative process in a fraction of the time compared to most dental offices since he uses the CEREC technology.
