Why You'll Love Tempe Arizona One-Visit Dentistry


It used to be that visiting a Tempe Arizona dentist for any kind of restorative care – and especially crowns or veneers – meant undergoing a long and sometimes painful process that spanned multiple visits. But, with the rise of one-visit dentistry, everything is changing. Now, you can keep your teeth in beautiful, healthy condition, even after major work, without waiting for a lab to send restorations or crowns back to your dentist.

If you've ever been through a lengthy dental procedure, you already know how this can save you a great deal of time and stress. That's because, with specialized equipment located right in the dentist's office, it's now possible to create custom veneers, crowns, and fillings on-premise in just a couple of hours or less. With an on-site dental lab in our office, you can get chairside treatment in just one visit!

We think patients should demand the best from their Tempe Arizona dentist. That includes using modern equipment and techniques. With one-visit dentistry, Valley Dental can make your restorative dental work faster and less of a hassle. You'll enjoy:

Having perfectly matched fillings and veneers created in a hurry. Wouldn't you rather have your dental work finished more quickly? Most patients would, which is why they appreciate having a Tempe Arizona dentist who is able to complete even extensive procedures within just a few hours.

Avoiding the pain and discomfort of temporary fillings. In the old days of restorative dentistry, affected teeth had to be covered with temporary fillings and crowns, which mostly protected you from further damage but were uncomfortable and tough to look at. With one-day dentistry, these troubles are a thing of the past.

The ability to have your Tempe Arizona dentist make instant adjustments to fillings and crowns. What happens if your crown, filling, or veneer doesn't fit? In the old days, that meant ordering another copy from a lab with slight adjustments (and hoping that one would fit better). Now, adjustments can be made on the spot, to minimize both discomfort and waiting times.

Don't settle for anything less than the best Tempe Arizona dentist. Contact Dr. Scott Connell and the Valley Dental team at 480-839-7996 to make an appointment. Tempe dentist at: www.valleydentaltempe.com

Teeth in a Day - Same Day Dental Tempe AZ...


Tempe, Arizona cosmetic dentist Scott Connell DMD, offers simple, reliable and long-lasting dental restoration including tooth implants for patients of any age who are missing teeth or experiencing the frustrations of loose, decayed and broken teeth. This can be accomplished with the removal of one tooth or all the teeth. If you have unsightly or loose teeth, tooth decay, bone loss due to periodontal disease, loose fitting dentures or missing teeth, you may be a perfect candidate for dental implants.

Traditional dental implants take 3 months or more to heal before they can support regular use. With careful planning we can often replace a single tooth, several teeth, or a full mouth of teeth with remarkable comfort and aesthetics in just one day. With only a few exceptions, patients seeking a quick and permanent solution can leave the same day with a new smile. There is virtually no downtime after the tooth replacement. Patients can eat a light meal later the same day.

Our same day smile dental treatments are the clear choice in Tempe Arizona for dentures. Click here to visit our website or email us here.

Wisdom Teeth, Tempe AZ Dentist...


What are Wisdom Teeth?

Your mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth, on an average. It is painful when 32 teeth are trying to squeeze their way into an area designed to hold only 28. These four other teeth are called Third Molars, otherwise known as "wisdom teeth." Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the back of the mouth usually during your late teen years or early twenties. When the teeth align properly, gum tissue is healthy, and you are lucky enough to have the extra room for them, your wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. This is an exception to the rule though. In some cases, a wisdom tooth can become trapped under the gum and/or bone or even grow sideways. It can also become decayed, infected or cause the rest of your teeth to move out of place causing discomfort. Unfortunately, in most cases, extraction is necessary.

With an oral examination and x-rays, Dr. Connell can evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and predict if there may be current or future problems. Studies have shown that early evaluation and treatment of wisdom teeth result in a superior outcome for the patient. Patients are generally first evaluated in the mid-teenage years by their dentist, orthodontist or by an oral surgeon.

Wisdom teeth removal is a fairly common procedure at Valley Dental's Tempe dental studio. However, in some cases, the removal of wisdom teeth prior to eruption requires oral surgery. Dr. Connell has the skill required to remove impacted or un-erupted wisdom teeth and provides local anesthesia during the procedure.

If you live in the Tempe or Casa Grande area and have questions about wisdom teeth removal or other dental procedures, please feel free to contact Dr. Connell's office at 480-839-7996 or visit our website at www.valleydentaltempe.com.
