Teeth Veneers - Smile Makeover in Mesa Arizona...

Porcelain or ceramic dental veneers are considered to be one of the most versatile cosmetic dentistry treatments and can be used to whiten and straighten teeth, as well as to fill in gaps between them. Many broken, chipped or otherwise damaged teeth can be completely repaired with this simple dental veneer procedure. Dr. Scott Connell performs many dental veneer treatments in his Tempe Dental Studio, and serves the East Valley including Gilbert, Chandler and Ahwatukee.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic material that are bonded to the outside of your teeth. A skilled and experienced cosmetic dentist should perform the procedure in order to ensure the optimum results for your new smile. The dental veneers procedure can usually be completed in two visits. During your first visit, the teeth are prepared to allow for the thickness of the veneers and to ensure a strong seal. An impression is then taken and prepared to send to the lab where the porcelain dental veneers will be created. Your new porcelain dental veneers are usually returned to our office within one to two weeks and can be applied during your next visit. Porcelain dental veneers provide a strong, safe, and durable solution to stained, cracked or crooked teeth.

Dr. Connell even offers Same Day Dental Veneers with a state-of-the-art digital dental lab on site.

Please contact Valley Dental in Tempe to learn more about dental veneers, dental crowns or other cosmetic dental options.

Get Invisalign Braces From Your Favorite Tempe Arizona Dentist!

In the past few years, Invisalign braces have completely changed the way people think about orthodontics, and so it's no surprise that Tempe Arizona dentists have been picking up on the trend and learning how to use them for their patients’ benefit. We are proud to offer Invisalign to our patients, and encourage you to stop by and see whether these revolutionary treatments are right for you.

Of course, you could still use traditional orthodontics to straighten your teeth and improve your smile, but why would you? With Invisalign braces, you get some wonderful benefits that old-style metal appliances can't match, such as:

Freedom from the conspicuous look of metal braces. Naturally, the biggest draw of Invisalign braces comes down to the fact that they are virtually undetectable. That can be a big deal for teens who tend to be image-conscious, but can also be a big benefit for working professionals and middle-aged patients, who might want to maintain a professional image and keep their orthodontic work private.

The comfort of Invisalign braces. Although new patients ask for Invisalign for different reasons, most say that what they end up loving the most is the comfort that the appliances provide. In contrast to old-style metal braces, Invisalign work tends to be comfortable and virtually pain-free.

The ability to eat more foods. With metal braces, patients were restricted in the foods they could eat on a daily basis. But, because Invisalign orthodontics are removed at mealtimes, you can enjoy a better smile without having to alter your diet or miss out on your favorite meals.

The effectiveness of proven orthodontic care. We have seen again and again that Invisalign braces are just as effective as their older, more traditional counterparts. So, even though you're gaining a better look and lots of comfort, you don't have to give up anything in return.

When you're trying to build a better smile, you want the best Tempe Arizona dentist – using the latest Invisalign orthodontics – to help you along the way. That's why we encourage you to call Valley Dental at 480-839-7996 to make an appointment for an Invisalign consultation today.

The Dental Implant Advantage in Tempe

Why Dental Implants?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are a perfect solution for people with good general oral health who have lost a tooth or multiple teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

Dental implants are actually a more permanent tooth-saving treatment than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.

Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling, most people forget they ever lost a tooth. Everyone knows that confidence about the appearance of your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. Maybe you sometimes hide your smile because of spaces from missing or damaged teeth. Perhaps your dentures don't feel secure and cause difficulty in chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, Dr. Scott Connell at Valley Dental in Tempe has good news for you… Teeth repaired with dental implants can look and feel just like your own! With diligent dental hygiene maintenance, these implants can last a lifetime. Long-term studies continue to show improving success rates for dental implant procedures.

What Dental Implants in Tempe Can Do For You:

• Replace one or more teeth without affecting bordering teeth.
• Support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture.
• Provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable.
• Provide all teeth supported by implants. (no more dentures)
• Give you back your self-esteem and confidence with your smile.

Why Is It Important to Choose the Right Tempe Arizona Dentist?

Strangely enough, some people give more thought to their brand of coffee than they do to choosing the right dentist. In a way, it's probably only natural: Most people look forward to their morning cup of java more than they do a good teeth cleaning, and most of us know what we like in coffee, but don't feel very informed when it comes to finding a dental professional.

But, finding the right Tempe Arizona dentist is important, if only because you want your teeth to be in great shape for decades to come. With that in mind, here are four criteria you can use to evaluate any dental office you're thinking of visiting:

Experience. Although newer dentists come along all the time, you probably want someone experienced handling anything beyond routine dental work. That way, you can have the confidence of knowing that they'll be able to properly assess any issues and give you the right care the first time.

Comfort. It only takes one uncomfortable dental experience to understand how important it is to have a Tempe Arizona dentist who makes sure that every experience is pain-free. Don't settle for anything less.

Location and hours. Visiting your dentist shouldn't mean canceling the rest of your day or driving to a part of town you don't normally visit. A good neighborhood dental office will work with you to find times that are convenient for you to come in.

Patient reviews. If you really want to find out about the work a dental office does, see what current and former patients have to say. These days it's easier than ever to find reviews and feedback online, so take advantage of those resources.

Of course, if you really want the best Tempe Arizona dentist working on your teeth, you can always contact Dr. Scott Connell and the Valley Dental team at 480-839-7996 to make an appointment today.

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
